Advantages: Magnificent Seven are back
Disadvantages: Extras are nothing to special

...series using him he doesn't trust woman anymore, Oz & Dennis persuade him to come to Cuba and help with the job. The best bit is Neville in this series, he has been approached by MI6 to do some spying, At one stage he is seen in a Man UTD shirt to help with his cover, Neville is a die hard Newcastle fan. Bomber is still living with his native Indian girlfriend he fell in love with in the last series. I love the Auf Wiedersehen Pet series and to be honest Its not as good as the first two series but its still worth the watch. The box set comes on 2 DVD's and the extra are nothing to write home about , But I am not into the extras anyway. Thanks for reading my reviews, and thankyou for rating them.
