    I chose Our Friends In The North... but it was almost impossible to split them and Auf Pet.

    Early Series of Auf Wiedersehn Pet, I would go as the best in the poll, but later series, way down pecking order.

    I would put 'When the Boat Comes in', above the lot though...

    I really liked Our Friends in the North though probably because I was 15-16 when it was shown and I loved it. Auf Weidersen was very good but they needed to stop it sooner than they did, the latter series were awful (in my opinion), first couple were good though.

    Series 1 and 2 of Auf Wiedersehn Pet were absolutely awesome. The later ones less so. I would put Oz down as one of my all time favourite TV characters and considering Jimmy Nail was very much not an actor as such makes his performance all the better. The later series' lost the magic for me and they probably should have left well alone, especially series 4 which was pretty much dog ****!!

    Bread, set in Liverpool with a very religious family. I recall it, was late 80's and early 90's I think
