British labourers forced to work in Germany during

Frenais, (previously responsible for Porridge and
The Likely Lads) its main players are likeable
stereotypes from all over England: there's Wayne
(the late Gary Holton), a cockney charmer and
womaniser; Barry (Timothy Spall), the bumbling,
haplessly pretentious Brummie; gentle West Country
giant Bomber (Pat Roach); amiable Scouse Moxey
(Christopher Fairbank); and the three Geordies;
nervous Neville (Kevin Whately), loudmouth
xenophobic lummox Oz (Jimmy Nail) and put-upon
Dennis (Tim Healy), the reluctant gaffer of the
mob. The show spawned a second series in 1986 then
a belated follow-up in 2002. The plotlines were
entertaining--capers usually involving
misunderstandings or hangovers or both: Oz eating
rat poison, Oz attempting to smuggle porn, Neville
waking up after a large night out with a German
girl's name mysteriously tattooed on his arm;
Dennis's tentative relationship with a German
woman named Dagmar while on the rebound from his
recent divorce. However, the real meat of Auf
Wiedersehen Pet was in the interplay of the
characters--who were confined in prison camp-style
conditions--and Clement and Le Frenais' rueful
sense of the comedy of men in crisis. Tim Healy's
Dennis in particular was a classic example of the
indignity of the traditional grafter who suddenly
finds himself struggling in mid-life, a condition
exacerbated at having to "wet nurse" a bunch of
wayward geezers, as he frequently complains.
