I think perhaps the best series EVER on telly. Everything stopped for me when this came on 9 pm on a Friday evening. I’ve watched all the repeats many, many times and they never loose their appeal. Well cast and brilliantly acted and scripted.
We had a Barry in are gang working Berlin in the 80s young Irish and free. No COVID or woke or lockdown people where free then innocent times. This show is very realistic we had a big drinking culture, earned huge money and enjoyed life. I worked for a ex German officer who served ten years in Russia, he was a fine honest ramrod straight gent, great memories great show.
Remember as a child watching these. My folks owned a pub and theme tune was on the juke box. As a 9 year old my mum would give me 10p and that’s the song I would choose
Just got back from a weekend in Nottingham, turned on "Auf Wiedershen Pet", and there were the lads drinking tea in the caf we'd been at all weekend (locally known as the Ponderossa).
Great series, I remember these times very well, Thatcher's Britain wasn't a great place to be for most people and this superb series summed it up well.
+Dog & Crow i have been watching these at least 3 times a week for the last 20 years , all 4 series are brilliant , i cant pick between 1 or 2 for my best series
Amazing series this i wonder how many men young men wanted to be bricklayers plasterers when this was on t.v i know 1 guy who actually worked out in Germany doing this he made a fortune laying bricks for the years he was out there there was thousands of British lads out there working id have loved to have done this imagine the laughs you would have with the boys brilliant life for a young single guy with a trade
Classic! I had all but forgotten it. Except for Jimmy Nail keep popping up in his crododile shoes. And then I watched the Hatton Garden robbery and there they were - well three of them. I am going to watch all of this lot now.
Greatest brit drama in my lifey time,tho it does my head in watching these olde gems,makes you realize how john major and tony blair committed treason by sighning our sovereighnty away
Brilliant brilliant series, loved it to bits. Lost it's way later on but the early stuff was best. Although I never understood how or why hardcore Toon fans would go watch Sunderland...
Remember it well. First class. I had a jacket like Oz back then, look like him and come from the North East - made for a great time at college in London. When Britain was still a great country.
Always loved watching these episodes I think in my own opinion oz was the best character in This programme he just makes me giggle because he doesn’t give a damn oz is absolutely brilliant!!! They should bring it back because I would watch it for definitely!!!
@@GEricG Regrettably. ITV is just stuffed with reality guff, endless soaps and programme sponsorship these days. If this is the times changing, then forget it.
I worked in Germany in the 1970s Most people would be homesick so going to a Sunderland game would be like a slice of home. Also sad to think that Vera was dead less than 6 years after this was filmed.
she was going to be heavily involved in series 2 but died that's why dennis's sister was brought in , if you watch one scene when nev is in bed with brenda he says , if you want you can stay in bed sunday and i'll do the dinner for you and vera but then it was dubbed over with norma
Having lived in a Germany for over 15 years I have seen many English and Scottish teams play over here. It’s a british team playing and so you make an effort to shout on the team, with the odd chance of seeing your own mob.
I don't think Pat Roach ever heard a Bristolian accent lol he sounds more Cornish/devon to me but whatever, like the geordie/mackem debacle it doesn't stop this being the best tv series EVER
Not at all, it’s just the sort of thing a Magpie fan would do when bored abroad. I’m sure the black cats would go see them play, wasn’t all that bad in north east. I supported the Cats for years, only violence against me was from Man City lot, at Man City. The same match some idiot near us threw a dart at Montgomery . Supporters were more mixed back then, which was soon to end, plus me going to any more matches.

Always thought Series 2 was as good as Series 1. Both very gritty with great humour. Then from Series 3 on, the BBC got hold of the franchise, and in typical fashion, smothered with their politically correct crap and it went down the toilet.
Not so much political correctness mate - just a different era - they were older and it was probably never a good idea to revisit the past. Plus, Gary Holton was an integral part of the cast and could never be replaced.
Season 2 had its moments, but on reflection was far weaker. The whole plot of having them reunite made zero sense. It buggered the whole thing up. It was too contrived.
hard cash in an envelope at the end of the week with the amount on the front, living for friday and saturday night..taking your lumps, not being too bothered about your situation and everything in general..miss the simplicity, always felt bad for dennis with the way his wife was
Interesting Bomber saying his team is Bristol City as in series 3 or 4 he is wearing a Bristol Rovers shirt! And no way would Newcastle lads go and cheer on Sunderland!
Was on a train going to Dartford , back in early July , train stopped at Waterloo East , 2 elderly ladies got on , I got up to let one sit down , was none other than "our Marjory" , she did look rough
Marjorie kicks off over the letter being sent back as RTS and shouts "yer lying toad you never even bloody read it ya not even in Dusseldorf, god knows where you are"! Yet Oz has already told her how the letter brought tears to his eyes. So if he knows about it then clearly Marjorie should know he is in Dusseldorf otherwise he wouldn't know about it
+Dog & Crow But then she say's "yer not even in bloody Dusseldorf, god knows where you are". If that were the case, and he wasn't, then how would he have known about the letter in the first place?
How can 101 people give this the thumbs down,what is wrong with them?Probably get their thrills from watching crap like celeb bake off and dancing on ice.
Love AWP but I’ve never understood this episode in the very first episode Dennis questions oz’s Sunderland bumper sticker oz goes on to say he doesn’t support them also in later episodes it clearly points out out that all three are Newcastle United supporters so why would they go and offer Sunderland support in this episode
Geordies going to watch Sunderland is as probable as Nevile referring to football as soccer, which he does in the episode 'The Alien'. I'm surprised the three geordies didn't bring this up with the writers.
espcially s in first episode Denis tells Oz to scrape sunderland badge off the rear bumper!!! plus oz was Original Bender crew and actually did a bit of jail after Sheff Wed!! Le Frenais and Clements obviously never football lads- massive faux par. other than that Brilliant- Benwell NUFC

Agreed canny lad.
Was anyone a fan of spender tv series?
Agree,Though series 3 wasn't so good
i agree
Don't get me wrong it's good but no where near only fools and horses
Wonderful acting. Best natural actors this country has ever had and the best writers
Remember as a child watching these. My folks owned a pub and theme tune was on the juke box. As a 9 year old my mum would give me 10p and that’s the song I would choose
One of the Greatest shows from the 80s .
Too right - this and Minder.
In fact, the best in the world. Can't get more natural than this
I’d rather watch this than a lot of what’s on television now. Funny, serious and a good reminder of what years we were our happiest
Love this program. Brings back some great memories of being 15 sitting with me Dad and bro laughing to this. Brilliant ❤️🤣
I love the way Dennis is smoking and yet Moxie's steam is bothering him.
Hahaha never noticed that before and I've watched these dozens abs dozens of times. Howling!
A TV Classic and one of the best theme tunes in tv history
Too right
And Minder.
those were the days, cash in a pay packet :)

Simply superb quality AWP. Nothing like it since.
I did about 6 yrs in Holland before heading to the Far East! Brings back great memories!
Doing what?
I rather watch this than today's crap on TV.Not watched TV in yrs now.
From top to bottom, one word is enough....brilliant.
Whip round for the pilot!! LMFAO. The guy doing the whip round I'm sure passed away recently. RIP.

Nah he's aal posh noo, like his mate Sting, ex-geordies
Is he really a Macam?
Never ever heard of Geordies going to a Mackems game willingly! 😂😂

This is a good example of what a TV is like, before the BBC get their grubby mitts on it. Boycott the BBC.

Newcastle lads wanting to offer support to Sunderland ? Who wrote that storyline
Jakku Blog/Vlog north east lads will watch any match just for the crack
That's why side the northeast lads and the rest didn't go to that match if that's what your referring to ?

Don’t think they’d get away with the Sunderland storyline this century 😂
Oz commits a cardinal sin , a Newcastle fan wearing a Sunderland scarff
Poxy Brenda!! Send her sod all nev ' she's probably getting done in by the local Gordi stud
Lots of good series of programs were made in the 1980s. Dads Army, Meinder,Sherlock Holmes, Poirot, Touch of Frost etc etc.

@@jupitorious7925 No, it should have gone for nein series.
Newcastle fans going to support Sunderland! Massive mistake on the part of the script writers.
Why aye man
Was common back in the day. My grandad went to watch both teams. Not that impossible
Not when you are living abroad anything to do with England you would support
