Auf Wiedersehen Pet

Auf Wiedersehen Pet

Auf Wiedersehen, Pet is a British comedy-drama series (1983 - 2004) about a group of seven British migrant construction workers: Wayne, Dennis, Oz, Bomber, Barry, Neville and Moxey, who are forced to look for work in West Germany and end up on a building site in Dusseldorf. Despite promises of hotel accommodation, they are forced to live in a small hut that reminds them of a POW camp. The first series is driven by the interactions and growing friendships between the various characters. The second series is set in the UK and Spain.

The show returned in 2002 with the remaining cast members (Gary Holton died in1985) with Noel Clarke palying Wayne's son Wyman. There were 2 furthur series and a Special set in Bankok, but Pat Roach didn't appear in the latter as he was suffering from cancer and died the same year. There is a comprhensive history of the seies here at Wikipedia [new window].

Most of the story involves the characters working for the British Embassy in Havana, Cuba with Neville being reluctantly recruited as a spy for the British, and Oz falling in love with a local ballet dancer. Despite extensive negotiations between the BBC and the Cuban Government, it was not possible to obtain permission to film in Cuba, so the series was actually shot in the Dominican Republic.

  Thailand Special : 2 episodes - 60 minutes each.


    1. Au Revoir: Part 1
    2. Au Revoir: Part 2

The story sees the remaining six (Pat 'Bomber' Roach died in 2004) working in a British Embassy somewhere in central Africa that is about to be overrun by rioters. Most of them escape uninjured, except for Oz who sustains a painful injury to the rectum protecting a female staff member (while they are having sex) from a bomb.

The boys then move on to Laos and later Thailand, where Barry's Russian ex-wife (from Series 3) turns up to announce that she is carrying his child following a brief "reconciliation". Barry is then kidnapped and held by guerrillas in a village in Laos.
