Guten, Tag!
Since 2012, the Official Auf Wiedersehen, Pet Fansite has been ‘constructing’ the largest ever
collection of behind the scenes pictures, videos, memories, build plans, scripts and so much more.
Since it’s first airing back in 1983, the show has struck a chord with viewers and critics alike, which
continues today.
Auf Wiedersehen, Pet has established itself as one of the most critically acclaimed shows ever in the UK. 35 years later the show is still as popular and
has a strong legion of fans worldwide. It’s strength is behind it’s writing, it’s cast and it’s passion, and many fans hold it close to their hearts.
Dennis, Neville, Oz, Bomber, Barry, Moxey, Wayne and Wyman have travelled the world laying bricks, nailing timber and drinking beer. From
Düsseldorf to Thailand the lads have given us laughs and tears, ending with Neville saying those immortal words, ‘Auf Wiedersehen, Pet.....’ The show is
ever expanding with Fan Events, the first being the cast attended ‘Convention’ in Newcastle in September 2013, and the latest ‘Fan Gathering’ in July 2014.
“The show is one of the greatest TV dramas of all time, thanks to a fantastic cast
and brilliant writing by Ian la Frenais and Dick Clement...”
Franc Roddam, Creator.

November 2018: Timothy Spall on Auf Wiedersehen, Pet at 35
The Official Auf Wiedersehen, Pet fansite recently touched base with award winning
actor Timothy Spall and asked him about his memories playing the part of a ‘loveable yet
pedantic motorbike obsessed Brummie’. Click the link below for some incredibly heartfelt
words as we celebrate televisions no.1 comedy drama…
“36 Years ago I was sent scripts for a wonderfully written 13 part Drama/Comedy. I was very
pleased because I was skint but also cautious about committing myself to something that might
not be the right choice. (I was a young newlywed hand-wringing idealist). I got the part and
accepted it and had a thoroughly good time making it. I met some people who have become dear
and lifetime friends and sadly lost a couple too....”

November 2018: Auf Wiedersehen, Pet Celebrates 35 Years!
On November 11th 1983, Auf Wiedersehen, Pet hit British TV screens and would become
one of the 1980's most popular programmes. Who would believe that a TV series about a
bunch of builders living on a building site in Düsseldorf would become so popular, with
viewing figures hitting almost 20 million?!
Based on an original idea by Franc Roddam, and conceived to be a one off film, writers
Ian La Frenais and Dick Clement were convinced this could make a fantastic series, and so
they encouraged Franc to let them develop and write 13 episodes. As early production got
under way, it was the task of the producer and director to find actors to the fill the now
famous roles.
