DVD Description

Following a narrow escape from a British Embassy in Africa besieged by rioters, the lads relocate to the Australian Embassy in Laos for their next job. Whilst at work, after all their adventures, one by one the boys start realising there’s more to life than being part of their gang - a feeling brought into sharp focus after a letter arrives from Bomber telling them he’s swapping his trowel for a settled family life. On successfully completing the job, and sensing this could be the last time they’re all together, the boys make big plans for some rest and relaxation in Thailand. But it’s not long before events and a familiar enemy conspire against them, and rest and relaxation are a distant memory...

It's ok 8 Jan 2005
Format:DVD
well with the death of Pat Roach AKA Bomber Busbridge, they couldn't include Bomber in the special episodes which are the last EVER!!!!

However the gang have just enough fun and antics as the six....not the magnificent seven as they have been known as. But this DVD is worth any amount of purchase.....and it has a surprising twist at the end....want to know? then BUY IT!!!

I know i will

I'd like to thank the writers and makers of one of the UK's best loved programmes. I have grown up with the characters of 'Auf Pet' (though can't quite believe it really has been over 20 years since the first episode) and the ending of this highly enjoyable two-part special was just perfect. The actors all looked as if they had a lot of fun making this final treat for their fans. Thanks to the talented actors who have given us such rich characters as Oz, Dennis, Neville, Barry, Moxey, Bomber, Wayne and Wyman. With the sad departure of Gary Holton (Wayne) and Pat Roach (Bomber) since the first show, I think that it's probably best to call it a day and depart on a high note. I have every episode on DVD now and on those occasions when I just need a pick-me-up, an episode of Auf Wiedersehen Pet is just the job.

I loved it, as I have loved all of the series.
It's a great show that can have you laughing one minute,crying the next.The last scene takes us full circle and makes you think of all the years we've all spent in between, friends gone,things lost, a future still out there.
I just wish they the writers and actors would reconsider and keep doing more.
So please if anybody connected witht his marvellous show read this,please, please do more.
You still have it.
The fans still want more and need more.
We all need a good laugh and these guys are like family now.

It's a great show with great characters played by talented actors. The recent series never hit the heights of the first two but this ending is still well worth buying.

A well put together end to the likely lads adventures. With the passing of Pat Roach it was hard to see how the story could be wrapped up with the success of previous series. Read more
