Auf Weidersehen Pet

This Memory is looking a little short on nostalgia! Have you got anything you could add?

A programme following around a bunch of big Geordie lads in Newcastle and then venturing further afield as the show goes on.

Love, laughter, pints and pies are the ingrediants which make the programme so lovable and watchable.

    Watching them on DVD currently. Sad that Gary Holton and Pat Roach are no longer with us. Holton was a very good actor who could have done far more. Of the survivors, Spall and Whateley are the only ones you still regularly see on TV, but they were all great in their roles and we deserve to see more of Tim Healy in particular. The original series in Germany was the best, in my view. BBC revivals never quite did it for me.

    Where do you start with such a classic show? We went to Germany with the school not long after the first series was shown AND travelled back through Dusseldorf! Imagine a coachload of over-enthusiastic spotty boys getting over-excited everytime we passed a building site. I suppose it made a change from making dodgy (no such thing as PC in 1984) anti-german comments to innocent locals. I don't remember seeing the whole of series 1 & 2 (I'd probably discovered pubs at this point) but I've now got the whole lot (Germany, Derbyshire/Marbella, Middlesbrough, Cuba and Thailand) on video & DVD and they get an airing at least once a year. Brilliant stuff and I still don't believe that Timothy Spall isn't actually a Brummie!
