    Over 30 years old and still fresh as ever. Still regularly watch them over and over on DVD. Each character superb for different reasons, they all worked so well together and just clicked brilliantly. Quite possibly the best TV show ever broadcast. Marvellous stuff. Timeless.

      Nixter1974007 . It is the best show to ever appear on our screens imo. Considering the likes of Pirridge, Likely Lads etc it is quite a thing. Barry was absoloutely brilliant. The scene when they are waiting to fly out to Spain in S2 and the lads were playing snooker was brilliant.

      eddie bhoy Series 2 had some great moments I agree, but for originality you can't beat Germany. Just outstanding. Probably my favourite characters are Oz and London. Not to say that I didn't like the rest though. Each had their own traits and characteristics that made them unique and so special. Brilliant bunch of guys. Superb TV.

      Season 1 undoubtedly the best for sure. Had a soft spot for seadon 2 as it showed that even though some of the lads had tried to move on and prosper it was still hard going. (Life in that era of britain). Nev's line to Dennis " I thought it would be different when we got back, but nothing's changed"

    Used to watch this aged 6 with my family. Some of my earliest memories. Caught it a few times on re runs when I was young. Later, when I was 20, I traveled to Germany, visited Dusseldorf (where I was nearly arrested when i got mixed up with a wrong crowd,) ended up living with a German girl and then living in Berlin for a year and a half - learned fluent German and had some crazy times. 15 years later, in London, I retrained as an electrician and aged 36, I went on a building site for the first time! Ended up working with companies that were all geordies and that surreal feeling of being in an episode of Auf Wiedersehen Pet still hasnt worn off 7 years later. I wanted to be Wayne or Oz but ive ended up as Barry!

    Thanks for uploading Dawn. Even the first 30 seconds of this threw me straight back into the mid-80s looking at the car ferry decks, and the bar/restaurant. As a child our family went on the Sealink to Holyhead (en route to London or Blackpool) most years of the mid-70s to mid-80s. I can feel that air and smell what it was like on that ferry just from seeing a few minutes of it. Went on a car ferry about 10 years ago and it wasn't the same at all!

      Yeh because we want the IRA all over the world killing people for stupid reasons and communist countries playing a dangerous game along with that idiot Reagan making stupid joke radio broadcasts and nearly starting wars... don't get me wrong, I miss the eighties as well, technology was starting to appear but things were still simple. The kids today have no idea what it was like to live in the knowledge in the back of mind that the world could end in nuclear holocaust any moment. When I think of this time I naturally think of 99 Luftballons, especially with the theme of Germany in this show... my Grandad was a Geordie so we loved watching this show.
      Every era has it's bad points I guess, the IRA has passed into history largely, as ISIS will and some other sort of terrorist group will rise, every era has one. Before the IRA it was the red brigade and the Libyans sponsoring the PLA, etc. The funny thing is most of it is due to countries like the UK and US interfering everywhere.

I think it bonded families together as a few comments have already said.

    How can anyone dislike Auf Wiedersehen Pet? I mean, each to their own. But if you don't like Auf Pet, you should throw your telly away and cancel your licence, because there's been bugger all as good in the 35 years since it aired. Apart from Auf Pet series 2. Seriously, if Shakespeare had been a Geordie, he still wouldn't have written anything as good. Absolute quality.

    I was one of the many who got the back of thachers hand , finished up in Stuttgard , the ferry over was a night boat , Iwas in my early twenties , what a sight on that boat , never seen so many spirit levels in such a confined space before , or ever since , pardon the pun we were all in the same boat , though I was in Automotive not building . Thatcher was not our friend , the t.v. series was just as it was , what a mix of society , even now makes me smile !

Brilliant series from a Brilliant time in England. They just don't make stuff like this anymore, sadly.

    I was 7 or 8 when this was first on tv and I loved it. I think it had an effect on me because years later at 21 I ended up going travelling and headed for Dusseldorf. Ended up in Germany for 18months. At 37 I ended up getting into construction for the first time. Most of the guys I worked with were Newcastle/Sunderland guys so every day was like I had jumped into an episode of Auf Wiedersehen Pet.

      Did you watch it in English or was it translated to Swedish? If Swedish: how did they cope with the different accents and dialect, which was half the fun of watching it in English.
