Synopsis

The adventures of a gang of British workmen abroad combine black and white humour with moments of drama, poignancy, and drunkenness.

In series 1, the lads head to Germany seeking work and are thrown together by virtue of shared nationality and a run-down wooden hut.

The story follows the lads' relationships with women, Germans, and one another, and their attempts at passing the time away from home, saving money, and ordering food in a German curry house.

The series ends with new employment legislation forcing some of the Brits having to choose between the UK and their new-found pleasures abroad.

Two years later the gang are reunited for a second series, in which they travel to Wolverhampton to rebuild both the "magnificent seven" and Barry's home for his impending marriage.

A further offer of work sees the lads head to a Derbyshire stately home in need of refurbishment.

Here they fall foul of an irritable pub landlord, suspicious locals, a less than enlightened employer and the Inland Revenue.

Finally, they are packed off to Spain as illegal workers for Tyneside villain Ally Fraser, and they fall under the unwelcome spotlight of tabloid publicity.

Despite this, they still manage to indulge in some serious drinking practice AND complete the building work.

The soundtrack of Auf Wiedersehen, Pet fails to capture the diverse range of emotions portrayed in the series. It lacks the depth and complexity needed to enhance the moments of drama and poignancy, often feeling generic and uninspired.

The music chosen for the series does not effectively establish a sense of time and place. Given the setting of British workmen abroad in Germany, the soundtrack could have incorporated more cultural elements to immerse the audience in the story, but instead, it feels disconnected and out of touch with the narrative.
