I'd go for the same as ST. Love the part where he's on the top of the car in the armchair. I used to have them all on video when I was about 5 or 6.
My Dad would only have BBC on when I was kid so I've become accustomed to seeing itv as being ***** so I've never watched it.* *Apart from Auf Pet which should have been on the BBC anyway.
That can be forgiven. Such timeless quality has to be watched. You're right, it should have been on the beeb.
It's not for me - but when I got off a plane in Montreal Canada and got on a bus to Ottawa they had that on the TV for the duration and it did occur to me that Rowan Atkinson had cracked it because it completely defies language. Didn't even need subtitles.
Apologies for derailing the thread but I can't understand why it wasn't - given the writer's previous successes with the Beeb.
We really should have an Auf Weidersehen pet thread at some point. Favourite episode, favourite series, favourite character...
