Publisher's Synopsis
Auf Wiedersehen, Pet first hit our screens in 1984 and quickly became one of Britains best-loved dramas. Such was the popularity of the show, which followed the lives of three builders from Newcastle who travel to Germany in a desperate search for work, the cast shot to stardom and became house-hold names almost overnight. 2002 saw Jimmy Nail, Kevin Whately and the rest of the Auf Wiedersehen, Pet cast returning to our screens sixteen years after the last episode was filmed. Broadcast on BBC1, the first episode of the new series attracted a staggering 12 million viewers and a 47% audience share. Written with the full co-operation of series creator Franc Roddam and writers Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais, The Complete 'Auf Wiedersehen, Pet' Story will contain a detailed history of the show, unseen material from the series and interviews with cast and crew.
