What is auf wiedersehen pet?

Auf Wiedersehen, Pet is a popular British comedy-drama about a group of British construction workers who find employment in Düsseldorf, Germany. The series follows their experiences working abroad, their friendships, and their struggles with homesickness, unemployment, and various personal issues.

The original series, created by Franc Roddam, ran for two series in 1983 and 1986 on ITV. It starred Tim Healy, Kevin Whately, Jimmy Nail, Timothy Spall, Christopher Fairbank, and Gary Holton (later replaced by Noel Clarke after Holton's death).

The show was revived in 2002 by the BBC, running for two further series and a two-part finale. The revived series saw the lads working in Middlesbrough, Arizona and Cuba.

Auf Wiedersehen, Pet is known for its humour, its portrayal of working-class life, and its strong ensemble cast. The title, German for "Goodbye, Pet," is a recurring phrase within the series. The series also gained a following for its theme song.
