Auf Wiedersehen, Pet

I absolutely loved it all, and like others on here have watched the whole lot of it quite a few times.
The series set in Derbyshire is absolute quality.

There's been nothing as good as it on TV, really there hasn't. But I guess, I'm of an age.......
Derbyshire?
 
Another Boro link

In the two-part 2004 special, a couple of the lads are in a bar in Thailand watching the a premier league match and its Arsenal v Boro at Highbury when we lost 5-3 (however the locals all cheer when Boro score)
 
"Pelicans, Penguins and Inland Revenue have all got one thing in common....."
"what's that?"
"they can all shove their bills up their arše"


"What are the Abduls and the Erics gonna say when they find out we're living in a pink shed?"
 
Ian la Frenais is a Geordie himself, from Whitley Bay, so I'd guess he helped keep the dialogue 'real'. Wonderful writing from him and d*ck Clement.

edit - can't believe the swear filter did that to Mr Clement's forename! :LOL:
 
One of the things i remember about growing up in the mid 80s was running back from cubs/scouts on a friday to watch auf wiedersehen pet with my dad whilst my mam was out at bingo. I used to love it.

A couple of years ago, with both mam and dad long gone and me now in my 40s i decided to do it all again. One a week, 9pm on a Friday. i like to think the old fella was there watching with me!
