We're delighted to announce the forthcoming release of Auf Wiedersehen, Pet – A Celebration. Featuring exclusive first-hand contributions from creator Franc Roddam, writers Dick Clement, Ian La Frenais and Stan Hey, alongside stars Kevin Whately, Tim Healy and Christopher Fairbank, this remarkable publication tells the story of one of Britain's most loved television dramas through the words of the people who created it. Also featuring contributions from the show's original commissioning editor, directors and production team, the book offers a unique behind-the- scenes insight into the making of the series, its enduring popularity and the impact it continues to have more than forty years after its original broadcast. The memories and reflections of the cast and crew are woven together with commentary from authors Toby Benjamin and Martin Keady, who explore the origins of the series, its cultural significance and the enduring connection it continues to forge with audiences around the world. The book also charts the growth of the official fan site and our own journey as lifelong fans—from discovering the series decades ago to helping preserve its history, organising anniversary celebrations and raising significant sums for charity through a shared passion for Auf Wiedersehen, Pet. Complete with a foreword by Franc Roddam, the book will be available in two editions, including a special collector's edition signed by Tim Healy (Dennis) and Kevin Whately (Neville).
