Auf Wiedersehen Pet: The Complete Series 3 ( 2001) [1983]

starring: Tim Healy, Jimmy Nail, Pat Roach, Noel Clarke, Kevin Whately
directed by: Baz Taylor, Anthony Garner, Sandy Johnson

Release Date November 18, 2002
All three series of Auf Wiedersehen Pet were very much "state of the nation" stuff. The first series showed a country crippled by a socialist government, the second series the changes Thatcherism brought and the third one now shows a world changed completely by the post 1989 events. The lads have all fallen on hard luck: Dennis is reduced to chaufeuring a drug dealer around, Neville's marriage is on the rocks and his business is failing, Wayne is dead, Bomber is terminally ill, Moxy wanted by the police (nothing new there) and Barry is married to a two timing Russian gold digger. To regain their self respect (and some money) they embark on a business venture orchestrated by a shady ex-politician ( a thinly disguised Jeffrey Archer). But Auf ... Read More:

Auf Wiedersehen Pet: The Special [1983]

starring: Jimmy Nail, Christopher Fairbank, Tim Healy, Timothy Spall, Noel Clarke
directed by: Baz Taylor, Anthony Garner, Sandy Johnson

Release Date January 10, 2005
I have been watching Auf Weidershen Pet since the day it was first show on TV and I felt it somewhat sad that the Special will be the last time that we see the "lads" doing what they do best, making us all feel good. For those Aufpet fans out there they could not have asked for a better ending to a absolutly wonderful series that has given them so much joy over the past 20 years.

My Family - Series 1 - Complete [2000]

starring: Robert Lindsay, Zoë Wanamaker, Kris Marshall, Daniela Denby-Ashe, Gabriel Thomson
directed by: Baz Taylor, Jay Sandrich

Release Date March 22, 2004
I have really enjoyed this first serie and have already ordered the second one. I only hope that the producers will have given up the background laughing of the audience in the next episodes because it is really unnecessary and even a nuisance in such a quality programme. I wish it were possible to switch it off as it is already possible to choose between the options with and no subtitles.

Coronation Street: 1961, 1970, 1984 - 3 Episodes with Elsie Tanner [1960]

starring: Helen Worth, Simon Gregson, William Roache, Barbara Knox, Sue Nicholls
directed by: Alan Bromly, Alan Grint, Anne Ross Muir, Baz Taylor, Brian Lennane

Release Date January 15, 2007
Many of the young people who are "into" Coronation Street will probably never have heard of Pat Phoenix. And what a shame. For us slightly(!) older viewers Pat's "Sreet" character "Elsie Tanner", was what every actress today, in every soap aspires to be. Pat was soaps first superstar, and Elsie Tanner was a rough diamond, the best of friends with those who didn't judge her, and a woman equally at ease pulling hair, and scrapping with anyone (usually in the street) who crossed her. These 3 episodes are a decade apart from each other, and you get to see Elsie Tanner in some fabulous scenes, none no more moving and emotional as the final 1984 episode, when Pat plays Elsie for the very last time. Walking down Coronation Street for the end scene Elsie stops and ... Read More:

Auf Wiedersehen Pet - The Complete Series 1 [1983]

directed by: Baz Taylor, Anthony Garner, Sandy Johnson

Release Date May 27, 2002
I remember watching this every week as a 16 yr old (I'm 40 now!!). It's sheer class and stands the test of time due to its mixture of character and real humour. Strangely, it reminds me of certain dramas like the Sopranos or Band of Brothers in that you can watch it again and again and again. Quality.

directed by: Baz Taylor, Bill Gilmour, Bill Podmore, Colin Cant, Gerry Mill

Release Date July 12, 2004
What a pleasure to view this again after so many years and not be dissapointed.
A piece of timless drama covering episodes of northern miners' family life not overly romanticised. Portrayed by realistic down to earth acting.
I am amazed this hasn't had a re-run on mainsteam T.V
Plenty of good accurate details in scenery aswell "Champion"
