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).
