You're not wrong. The sort of programme you'd stay in to watch or rush home from the pub for, when video recorders were in their infancy.

its weird seeing them change through the years. timothy spall was a stick insect in the first series, wonder what food he discovered that made him put on so much weight??

Auf weidersehen was essential Sat night viewing when I was a teenager, not just for myself but it seems for most people...and yes it has lasted the test of time, although I wasn't so impressed with the series in Spain and at the English manor.

Finest comedy series ever. As a student me and my housemates watched the VHS box set time and time again.
All relatively unknown actors when it started and some excellent careers from Nail, Spall, Wheatley etc. Germany was by the far the best series. The manor was good and Spain pretty good. The ones in America where poor - wasn't the same without Wayne. |

i thought they were all good, but series 3 where they moved the bridge from middlesbrough was less good than the rest. i like series 4 in cuba more than any of the rest except the first series.

Elphick was a good actor, he was also in The Elephant Man. Boon was probably his biggest tv success but not one of my favourite shows.
Private Shultz was good and funny and based on a true historical event. Himmler`s attempt to ruin the British economy by flooding it with counterfeit £5 notes. Operation Bernhard was the Nazi codename for the plan. Ian Richardson was brilliant in it. |

First couple of series were great it went downhill a bit, but still only slipped from great to good.Jimmy Nail was plucked from nowhere but was a real natural actor - His character hated the Germans and the episode where he needed a blood transfusion and later found out that he now had German blood in him was class. Not watched for many years so don't know if it's stood the test of time like Fawlty Towers has, not many can manage that.

a jock a geordie a brummie a cockney and a country lad why didnt they have a taff and a paddy for the full set drivel show at best
|

By:
Wasn't it a brummie, three geordies, a cockney, a scouser and a country lad?
|

By:
I don't remember a jock as one of the characters?

By:
shocked they never had a token as well

By:
Grimsters, you may be thinking of the Ally Fraser character from series 2 who Dennis worked for.

I could pretty much lip sync the first two series of auf wiedersehen, pet.
The 2nd series at the manor had many funny moments. Arthur, ex military and miserable landlord of the barley mow pub was an integral part of the series. The lads find an old box of videos...one has the prim and proper Arthur in it, at a sex party (hmmmmm)? ...found the clip on you tube. Another "Historical Case?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sbw2LGakDfo Another good one when Arthur catches Wayne in bed with his daughter  (i'm laughing because Arthur was a great character) resulting in everyone getting kicked out.Wayne and the lads brick up his front door... AWP along with the harrowing and realistic "Boys From The Blackstuff" - some of the finest British series ever written. |

cliched 3rd rate acting drivel

By:
So many threads slating the bob fella?
Then there's the anti AWP fan who keeps returning here with negative comments? 3rd rate acting from unknown actors = Perfect casting. I've been watching youtube clips of this AWP anorak who's on a mission to find all known locations of the series This one is Thornley Manor https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZOHPFK3X6Y |
