A   complete   collection   of   the   earliest Auf   Wiedersehen,   Pet   VHS   video   releases can   be   viewed   here.   In   the   background   of   both   images   we   can   clearly   see   the fifth and final set building our lads worked on here at Elstree Studios. Let’s   take   a   closer   look   at   ‘Set   Building   5’   and   find   out   why   it   was   very   different to the first four...

Many   legendary   press   images   capturing   our   magnificent   seven   were   taken here   on   Elstree   Studios   back   lot. Almost   four   decades   later,   they’re   still   used   to promote the series via various forms of media. Beyond   EastEnders   train   bridge   ( Trivia   18 )   marks   another   key   position   on Elstree   Studios   back   lot.   This   was   the   location   where   we   see   Dennis   and Bomber   approach   Helmut   and   his   German   colleagues   and   tentatively   request financial   assistance   to   help   towards   Neville’s   bail   in   episode   6,   ‘The   Accused’ (image 37a). This   position   also   served   the   location   for   one   such   promotional   photograph capturing   a   ‘mean   and   moody’   Magnificent   Seven   and   was   featured   on   the classic   front   cover   of   the   1988   Volume   3   VHS   release   of   ‘Suspicion’   /   ‘Home Thoughts from Abroad’ (image 37b).
