  Auf Wiedersehen, Pet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Auf Wiedersehen, Pet is a popular British comedy-drama series about a group of seven British migrant construction workers: Wayne, Dennis, Oz, Bomber, Barry, Neville and Moxey, who are living and working on a German building site.
The first series, produced by Central for ITV in 1983, is the story of seven out-of work builders from various parts of England who are forced to look for work in West Germany.

 OFF THE TELLY: Reviews/2002/Auf Wiedersehen, Pet
Auf Wiedersehen, Pet scores big in this department, however, with the characters evoking a shared past (and let's face it, when old friends reunite that tends to be all they talk about) which we the viewers have actually witnessed too.
Although 'Pet echoed previous series in that it rolled along with sub-stories that were played out over a couple of episodes, there did seem to be a deficiency in dealing satisfactorily with the many big topics the series was saddled with.
This final episode suffered badly in that regard, with the introduction of a new character, DI Andy Hayley, whose presence resolved all three outstanding storylines (Barry's drugs charge, Grainger's attempts to flmail the group and Moxey's involvement in a potential murder trial) in less than 50 minutes.

Incidentally, if you are not from England's green and pleasant land, you will probably not have even heard of Auf Wiedersehen, pet, and if you live a couple of miles south of Darlington, you will probably be unable to understand the Geordie dialect.
However, Auf Wiedersehen, pet is the funniest and most true to life working class comedy that has ever graced the screens of our network television.
Auf Wiedersehen, Pet began in 1983 with a thirteen episode series where three bricklayers from Newcastle upon Tyne in England set off for Germany in a desperate attempt to find work, and to have some fun along the way.

Brilliant, once I heard that the BBC were going to make a new series of Auf Pet I could not wait for it to be aired, so come last Sunday night I settled down in front of my TV with a lager in one hand and my finger on the record button of my VCR.

First broadcast in 1983, Auf Wiedersehen Pet was an unlikely comedy hit about a group of British labourers forced to work in Germany during the recession.
However, the real meat of Auf Wiedersehen Pet was in the interplay of the characters--who were confined in prison camp-style conditions--and Clement and Le Frenais’ rueful sense of the comedy of men in crisis.

Auf Wiedersehen Pet II The pet death business is larger and stranger than I thought: you can even take a Hoegh Pet Casket Factory Tour in Michigan, Hoegh being the Microsoft of the pet death trade, as this page of special offers shows.
For predictably Teutonic precision about measurements and the various types of pet which would fit into each casket - from XS (hamsters, mice, small birds) to L (large cats/medium to large dogs up to 13kg) see the Kaleidon animal coffin catalogue from Lippstadt in Germany.
For those nostalgic for the good old days of coffin manufacture, the Pet Casket Store makes caskets which are "reminiscent of a bygone era".

Franc Roddam decided to revive the programme after seeing Tim Healy, Kevin Whately and Jimmy Nail performing "Auf Wiedersehen Pet" sketches (written by Ian La Frenais and Dick Clement) on stage in 2000 as part of a charity concert in Newcastle being held as a tribute to Sammy Johnson ("Stick" in "Spender" (1991)).
Allan McKeown, executive producer of the two 1980s series, was vigorously opposed to the plans and urged La Frenais and Clement to have nothing to do with the project or, failing that, at least to avoid using the title "Auf Wiedersehen Pet".
In all 21 years, the words "Auf Wiedersehen, Pet" have only ever been said in the show in the final episode as the last ever lines.
