Should,ve been a third 80,s series

The third series wouldn,t have had Ally in it,I just said the lads would have mentioned what happened to him in Spain,at the beginning of the next series.

And as for most of them been paired off,that wouldn,t have been a problem.
Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais would,ve started it with them working in Africa,tying up loose ends and getting rid of as many lovers as they could because they said themselves the gang were best when they were desperate and miserable,then they were going to go work in Moscow.

There would have been no reason to have Vicki in it,Oz just saw her as a bit of a fumble,and she liked the good life anyway,Hazel wouldn,t have stayed with Barry,she never seemed to know what she wanted,Brenda would have been back in the UK for her job and the kid,and Dennis hadn,t been with his girlfriend for long,that could have fallen through.She was only in the spanish ones because the actress is Kevin Whately,s wife.

I think it would have worked straight away.It was definetly going to happen had Gary Holton have lived.Clement and La Frenais both said that series two was bit too lighter than series one and the Spanish location was too luxurious,so with the Moscow setting they,d have give it more of the Germany flavour.

Funny thing is,they obviously used some of these left over ideas for some material in the later ones.

I see what your saying about the reversal situation.But I could never really enjoy the plots of the later ones,partly because it was so many years later,but mainly because the pace was too quick and there were too many stories,alot of them far fetched.

To me,80,s Aufpet was alot funnier,whilst keeping it,s realism and even though it moved at a slower pace,that made it more enjoyable.
