Donkey shite pal 👍..much appreciated 👍😁. Iv done a few more similar locations videos but I find it strange how this particular 1 pops up more than the others 🤷♂️.. iv no idea how these algorithms work , but if you've got a few minutes spare check out my other awp videos ,, 1 that's of maybe particular interest could be the Thornely Manor Front Door which I acquired a few years ago and is now proudly displayed on my garage.....

Best program ever I’m 69 and I was a chippy that went to work abroad for a German company, they sent me to Amsterdam and it was about the same as the film : thank you for that ❤
All the series of auf wiedershen pet have brought so much joy to so many people. I remember watching series 1 and 2 when they were first aired . How the world has changed . I love all the characters and the story lines and see these locations now . Thanks for a great video and for letting me know there's others who love this iconic program .
👍😁👍😁... absolutely agree 💯,, awp has always been there for so many of us . And some people would probably say "it's only a TV show"".... but its not just a TV show to us is it. For those who don't "get it", they never will, but for thousands of us fans , awp lives on. And hopefully something big will be arranged for next year,, the 40th anniversary. Iv spoken with Tim Healy and Stan Hey and they agree something big should happen so what this space. In the meantime, donkey shite pal for watching my little location video ,,, I think iv done 7 upto now ,, with 1 more I'm working on and that's more or less all the UK locations covered. Danke,, much appreciated 👍😁
Well , its a nice van , but it IS A REPLICA. Even tho the owner tried to spin a story that it is actually Barry's van. Upon closer inspection and consulting a Bedford van expert who is in the awp Facebook groups, it turns out that THIS van is a 6cwt, where as Barry's van was a 10cwt. , plus other subtle differences, the steering wheel is different even tho the owner says he's not changed it,,, seats,, same ,, . As I understand it the owner has been showing it at classic car shows recently, and is still sticking to his story that this is the original van from the show. I think we all just have to accept that Barry's van was scrapped many years ago. 😔
Hi Daniel Thanks for the update, to be fair to the guy he,s done a great job at copying Barrys Van, it certainly made me smile , I really liked your Videos on here, I have also visted Garys grave in Welshpool on several occasions, a couple of times when passing through after working in Wales and once at the weekend on a day out thing, the Raven Pub just down the road does great food too and Welshpool is a nice town for an amble . I called at Pat Roachs Grave too several years ago he,s down at Bromsgrove cemetery, its nice how the family put "Auf wiedersehen Pat" on the stone. Anyway glad theres still plenty of enthusiasm about the Auf pet I,ve always loved the series , the actors and the writing just worked perfect! all the best mate. Martyn.
@@martynhamer3044 aww definitely a great little van , and no doubt he spent a lot of time and money on it., and we appreciated him letting us see it and get pictures. Iv not been to bombers grave yet .... the wife rolls her eyes everytime I suggest a road trip . And yep , there's still a massive following of awp . And talking with Tim Healy and lesley saint John about it , they are humbled that everyone still loves the show , and them.. 😁👌
Brilliant Daniel!! Loved the series so much, wish we could go back in time to those Friday nights in the 80s which for me, were the best series 1 and 2. Thx for sharing.
@pilgrimoutdoors-uk6177 😁😁👍.. donkey shite pal 👍 much appreciated. Iv done another 7 awp location videos on TH-cam,, check em out when you've got a bit of spare time ..😁👍Danke .
@@cjcadventures its fantastic script writing,,, Clement and La Franais are absolute geniuses. But Sadly In todays society many of the quotes and gags aren't appreciated in the P C world🤷♂️
EastEnders Albert square, when it originally started was the location for the beko building site from series one...so I hear anyway... coincidentally also in EastEnders there was a club called the Dagmar....who was also a character in AWP series 1
😁👍... thanks .. much appreciated. Yeah its a lot of miles, time, and effort .... but its a lot of fun , and I love sharing my travels with everyone. 😁👌
Fantastic show. I lived in borehamwood ( near elstree studios ) for a while and I know a couple of shots were filmed there. (In the opening titles where bomber gets on a bus and Neville is looking in a job centre window. ) Only found out after I had left. Thanks for posting.
Excellent stuff... Good man ,, thanks for watching my video. Yeah there were a few other scenes nearby too at Bushy... the church where oz met Wayne to find out what happened to hedley , and mable hiltons house. Both are on 1 of my other videos. Glad you like . Donkey shite pal 👍 🤣
With the film 30 seconds in did they move the monument where the red Jag drove off? Thank you very much for doing what you've done it's bought a lot of memories back and wish I live that way to visit these places... I will someday...
Oi oi what's the word then... yeah that monument has been moved to the top of Bigg Market, so it's still in the area. And those public toilets you see, it's like a glass hexagonal dome Shape on the Pedestrianised area, that's now a trendy wine cocktail bar 🍹 🍸 😀 . Donkey shite pal for kind words there. Much appreciated 👍
That isn't the original Van is it from the show? No offence but I used to know people with them years ago they rotted away years ago. Dedication to a much loved and appreciating audience of a great show.
Correct ... the van is a replica, altho the chap who owns it tried to pull wool over our eyes and made out it was Barry's actual van. Its a great van tho all the same, and obviously with the plates on it , looks great ,,, but just to confirm, this is not Barry's actual van from the series.
As I understand it, Barry's on screen van they used was a 1980 W reg van. I believe non of the vehicles used in filming used their own number plates. Iv no idea if AEA 735T was on a Bedford van back in the day or if it was just a random plate . All I know is that the owner of the replica van in my video purchased the AEA 735T plate from dvla and had it put on this replica of Barry's van . Its a very complicated story with some unanswered questions as the owner of this replica is still telling people its the actual 1 from the show ..... it isn't. It is a very well refurbished replica and obviously made super special with the plate. I Hope iv helped answering the question
Thanks for replying. Looks awesome to have Barry's plate on it. Thought it was unlikely to be original as the mot check say a 1981 van and even for one of these to be in the state that the one in the programe was at 4 ish years old would be pushing it. Bet it draws a lot of attention.Do you know if the Daimler or the VW survived?
@garethkeri apparently they bashed it about a bit for the show . Some people say they saw it driving round Nottingham after filming had finished, and for some years until it no doubt met its demise. As for the other vehicles .... we can only assume they've all met their maker at the scrap yard in the sky. 🤷♂️. And thank you for viewing my videos . Iv got another in the making but getting thin on UK material to add to it. As for Germany Spain and maybe Arizona ,,,, I'm gonna leave those for someone else. I know my mate Steve Turner has done all the Spanish locations and he tells me he's hopefully doing Germany next year. Ta ra for a bit
The van was a very nice replica. We were led to believe it to be the original, however there are too many unanswered questions to confirm if it was actually the van that Barry drove.
Yeah sorry for late reply,, the owner did a great job on the van. The number plate was bought separately, it became available so he got it on retention then put it on this van when he'd done the restoration.
Its a long story , and I wish I could say it is the actual van used in series 2 , and the owner maintained it was,, but there are too many unanswered questions, and a Bedford van expert has taken a look at our photos, and it turns out Barry's van was a 10cwt ,, this 1 is a 6cwt. Totally different. The number plate was bought separately.
It's great innit 👍😁. The owner spend about 10 years doing it up. The number plate he was lucky to av bought separately of course cos the van in the show was not the actual plate of that van. It's all been put together very nicely. The owner said he will be taking it on the road to classic cars shows around the country in the future. He took us for a ride in it .... it gans champion. 😁👍
No I dont . I managed to track the owner of this van down . It's a very good replica. There were Too many technical questions left unanswered to confirm whether or not this was Barry's actual van. But it's very nice all the same.
@slw0599 😁😁👍👍donkey shite pal, much appreciated. Iv done 8 short location vids like this ... plus some extra AWP stuff... I hope youve checked them out 👍😁👍😁👍
