I actually really love the opening theme too, “Breaking Away” by none other than European Cup-winning Liverpool manager Joe Fagan!

 

[king_hellfire]

Aye I've met him and was left with much the same impression.

Ditto.

 

[atypical_boro]

It’s not really him. But it is his namesake.

A bit of Auf trivia.
After the hut burnt down, the set at Elstree was cleared and reused for the Eastenders set.
And the other pub in the Eastenders early days was called The Dagmar....named for Dennis's German girlfriend who worked in the site office played by Brigitte Kahn.

Thats brilliant i didnt know that!

Oz “has that b@stard given in yet Dennis?”

One of the best scenes ever, and there are loads to choose from.

I was working at the Marine Fire Station right next to the Transporter, when they were filming in the area. One afternoon filming was taking place in the old SLP yard on the North side of the river. Me and a mate got a set of binoculars and a megaphone from the fireboat. We looked to see when they started filming and then shouted over "stop stealing our bridge you thieving Geordie bas****s" and other similar endearments. The Director and the crew had to stop filming and were looking round to try to find where the noise was coming from. They never did work it out. It was a lot of fun at the time.

A few months later a colleague from Tyne & Wear Brigade asked me if the Bridge had finished being moved, Geordies eh!

There was an outtake of that when he got distracted by listening to the Newcastle game on the radio and forgot his lines

I don't think he forgot his lines. Rather Newcastle scored so he missed his cue.

The Sunderland-Standard Liege thing seems absolutely mental. They all wear Magpie merchandise on site, then they refer to Sunderland as “we” and even talk about Sunderland supporters as Geordies.

These are not naive southern writers and actors who have no idea about the north east either.

I know times have changed, but surely this was quite weird even for 1983?
