I love this series, I agree it was the best of 1980's TV. I have it on DVD. OZ was the best.

Loved it too

When they restored the listed mansion in Derbyshire was funny,staying in the pub with the grumpy landlord Arthur until they were kicked out when Wayne had his wicked way with his daughter.But they had him back when they left by blocking up his entrance.

Oz and Barry went for a spin were caught trout poaching

The first season is perfect Tele. There's so many great episodes there, my favourite one being the episode with Michael Elfic in it playing Mcgowan. I've tried to watch the rest, beginning with season 2 but gave up as it isn't as good. Also, was it all shot in Germany, or just the location shoots? I believe the character who played Wayne wasn't in Season 2, he died didn't he?

Wayne died when they were in Spain

First two series are my comfort TV watching. For all the first series was slightly better overall, the episodes in the second series in Newcastle and Thornley Manor were the best.

ITV will cut to pieces all of Oz's best lines, no doubt.

I remember that one, Oz walks in and says something like "Whats all this then! Look a 26 inch Pye" and then turns the telly off i think.

Great series. It was repeated recently (about 3 months ago) on freeview on the "Yesterday" channel but it was on at 10am so was heavily cut. I'm looking forward to rewatching it again and hopefully as it's on later it won't be cut so much.

Great series with many memorable characters. I was watching "Bullseye" on the Challenge channel recently and the guest dart thrower was Pat Roach talking about filming the new series of Auf Wiedershen and filming Indiana Jones. For all his many roles he'll always be "Bomber" to me.

Cheers,
