Carmen Silvera was a British comic actress of Spanish descent, primarily known for television roles. Her most memorable role was playing Edith Artois in the hit sitcom "'Allo 'Allo!" (1982-1992), which depicted multiple ongoing conspiracies in German-occupied France during World War II.
Edith was the antagonistic wife of the series' main character, the opportunist café owner Rene Artois. Husband and wife were reluctant members of the French Resistance, while also collaborating with corrupt German officers and being involved in several other conspiratorial schemes. Ongoing plot-lines involving Edith included her suspicions that Rene was cheating on her (while she appeared unaware that he was having extramarital affairs with all of their waitresses, and that he had an unrequited love for resistance leader Michelle Dubois), her regular attempts to perform as a cabaret singer (despite having an awful singing voice), her romantic relationships with undertaker Monsieur Alfonse and the Italian Captain Alberto Bertorelli, and Edith being far more patriotic and idealistic than her husband.
In 1922, Silvera was born in Toronto, Ontario to British expatriate parents. Her father was Roland Silvera (1895-1986), a well-known bowls player, and a member of the Stoke Bowling Club, Coventry. In the 1970s, Roland served as a president of the Warwickshire County Bowls Association. During his term, the association won the English Bowling Association Middleton Cup for the first time in its history.
The Silvera family emigrated back to England in 1924. They settled in Warwickshire, a county in the West Midlands region of England. Carmen was evacuated to Montreal, Canada during World War II. She originally aspired to follow a dancing career, taking lessons from a ballet company that served as one of several rival successors to the famed "Ballets Russes" (1909-1929). She appeared with the ballet company on stage, but only for a small number of performances.
Following the end of World War II, Silvera returned to England and decided to follow an acting career. She was trained at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art, and then started appearing repertory theatre. She had a brief marriage to theatrical actor John Cunliffe. In 1948, they were divorced after Silvera suffered a miscarriage. She never remarried, instead focusing o her career.
In the late 1950s, Silvera started appearing in television roles. Her first recurring role in a series was playing Camilla Hope in the soap opera "Compact" (1962-1965). The opera depicted the personal and professional lives of the employees of a magazine. It reportedly enjoyed high ratings throughout its run. Its demise was attributed to the dislike of its premise by BBC executives.
In 1966, Silvera played three different roles in the story arc "The Celestial Toymaker" of the hit science fiction series "Doctor Who" (1963-1989). One of her three roles was the Queen of Hearts in a set of living playing cards. The episodes were considered offbeat for featuring strong fantasy elements in a series that typically focused on science fiction and historical fiction. Silvera later returned to the series in the story arc "Invasion of the Dinosaurs", which featured dinosaurs transported to modern-age London. This story arc was noted for featuring villains who were well-intentioned extremists, firmly believing that the ends justify the means (in other words, that their crimes were justified by their righteous goal).
In 1970, Silvera had a guest star role in an episode of the World War II-themed sitcom "Dad's Army" (1968-1977), which featured the misadventures of the Home Guard. She portrayed Fiona Gray, a middle-aged woman who wants to join the war effort. Her character served as a new love interest for the main character, the aging Captain George Mainwaring. The episode was unusual in having a tragic theme, and emphasizing Mainwaring's loneliness. It was directed by David Croft, who would later cast Silvera in "'Allo 'Allo!".
Silvera made her film debut in the erotic film "Clinic Exclusive" (1971), at the age of 49. She played the role of Elsa Farson, an aging, lonely lesbian who is in love with Julie Mason (played by Georgina Ward), not caring that Mason is a ruthless businesswoman with a side career as a blackmailer. The film was scripted and produced by Hazel Adair, who had previously worked with Silvera in "Compact". Most of the film's actors were veterans from Adair's television productions.
Throughout the 1970s, Silvera had a few more film roles in British productions. Her last film role in this decade was playing Lady Bottomley in the sex comedy "Keep It Up Downstairs" (1976). The film's plot focused on the efforts of two aging aristocrats to find a rich wife for their son, despite the young man's disinterest in anything outside his career as an inventor.
Silvera found success late in life, when cast in the role of Edith Artois in the sitcom "'Allo 'Allo!" (1982-1992). Initially conceived as a parody of the wartime drama series "Secret Army" (1977-1979), it became a much more popular and long-running series than the one it parodied. Unusual for a sitcom, "'Allo 'Allo!" had overarching plot-lines, rather than featuring simple stand-alone stories. Nearly every character took part in conspiracies and had agendas of his/her own, but their schemes often clashed and backfired. Besides the ongoing scheming, the film placed emphasis on the characters' romantic and sexual lives, with a large amount of sexual innuendo in each episode. The series lasted for 9 seasons, and 85 episodes. Much of the main cast of series gained enduring popularity with the British public.
During the 1990s, Silvera enjoyed a revival of her theatrical career. She appeared in stage musicals, such as "That's Showbiz" (1997) by Jimmy Perry. Her last film role was a small part in the drama film "La Passione" (1996). The film was partly based on the childhood experiences of screenwriter Chris Rea as a son of immigrants in the United Kingdom.
Silvera was a heavy smoker for much of her life, and she was eventually diagnosed with lung cancer. She spend her last years as a resident of Denville Hall, a retirement home for professional actors and their spouses. In August 2002, Silvera died there due to cancer. She was 80-years-old. Her popularity endures primarily due to her appearances in classic sitcoms.Edith Artois is a very stupid woman. She is an extremely annoying, immature and irritable wife of Rene's who is far too hubristic of her singing, embarrasses Rene, sings to all the other people thinking they love her voice when actually they hate and despise her singing and people like the Germans have to stick bits of Cheese in their ears to stop them from hearing her absolutely awful singing voice and a lot of people leave the cafe when Edith starts singing. Every time I hear and see her sing in the pub nobody at all likes it all, they absolutely hate it and I say "Oh shut up" because she has an absolutely all hate her absolutely awful singing voice. She also is very foolish and her behaviour is insane and very idiotic which has caused Rene to have more of a love for beautiful Yvette which is not surprising. Rene affectionally hugs and kisses beautiful Yvette but never hugs, affectionally hugs or kisses Edith or when Edith tries to get close to Rene, he backs far away from her which is no surprise because he would be better off with Yvette than he is with Edith because Edith keeps letting Monsieur Alfonse flirt with her, she also keeps flirting with him, shows her love for him and loves him a lot lot more than she does for Rene. Edith also is an absolutely annoying, insane, immature and irritable wife whose behaviour has been described as foolish by Rene and he has to get on with life but unfortunately he has to put up with her. Edith also is absolutely insane, talks too much and is again far too hubristic and I absolutely hate her.- Actor

He also is a fool who I absolutely hate, he is continuously intrusive and he is extremely annoying when he speaks and when he brings someone in on his team into Rene's Cafe and they speak him and this other person on his team both sound so absolutely idiotic. His French is fucking awful and extremely annoying, he can speak French and I have heard him clearly speaking it using English words in some episodes but he also always pretends to be a clearly spoken French Policeman and when he speaks he doesn't clearly speak French he calls Rene Ronny which Rene absolutely hates, says "Good Moaning" instead of "Good Morning" and uses other idiotic phrases in his speech. Rene can't stand Crabtree, hates when he knocks on the door of the cafe and enters, gets absolutely fed up of seeing Crabtree, putting up with the annoying way Crabtree talks and his behaviour. Besides Rene the others talk together to each other behind Crabtree's back(which he's not aware of because of his extreme stupidity) calling Crabtree an idiot which he is because of the way Crabtree talks and because of his idiotic behaviour. Crabtree annoys me so much every time he enters and says 'Good Moaning' instead of 'Good Morning', 'Massage' instead of Message, 'Sloop' instead of Sleep etc I very angrily say "Oh Shut up you stupid idiot, always get extremely angry because of the way he idiotically talks and because he also is a complete idiotic and moronic dickhead who acts and behaves like an idiot. I absolutely hate and can't stand the idiotic way he talks and I absolutely can't stand him.- Actor

The son of a naval officer who ran what were called "concert parties", Kenneth Connor made his stage debut at age two, and by 11 was performing in both a solo act and a doubles act with his brother in various revue shows. He later decided to become a serious actor rather than just a revue performer, and attended a professional music and drama school. After a six-year stint in the army, he returned to the theater as an actor, and secured quite a few roles on the stage. For all his training, though, he found his greatest success doing voice characterizations on radio comedy shows. His success there led to his being cast in the first "Carry On" film, and he went on to become one of the regulars in the long-running series. After it ended Connor did a lot of television work, and achieved another round of success as the undertaker Alphonse in the popular TV series, 'Allo 'Allo! (1982). He died of cancer in 1993.Monsieur Alfonse is a man who I hate. He always keeps on continuously flirting with Edith, touching her up, being on top of her trying to kiss her on the lips, saying he loves her etc and Edith's just as bad not getting angry with him for what he does whilst she's married to Rene. He also tried to attack Rene when Rene proposed to get married to Edith which was extremely bad. He should stop his bad habits with Edith and he is a very disgusting man and fucking bastard who I absolutely hate.- Actor

He is an actor, known for A Hard Day's Night (1964), The Brothers Karamazov (1964) and The Newcomers (1965). He was previously married to Debbie Arnold.Herr Flick(played by David Janson) who came after the original Herr Flick(played by Richard Gibson) left in the final 1992 series. He sounded a bit like the original Herr Flick but is not as good as the original was. He's not at all funny like the original Herr Flick(played by Richard Gibson) was who made me laugh a lot and this current Herr Flick doesn't make me laugh. He's also not verbally harsh enough, he is a character who I really don't like and he also is the worst Herr Flick.
