aufpet 2 Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Ok members. Does anyone have any pictures or know the history of Barry's van? I see that someone mentioned it being from the Notts area, and that someone local had it for sale. As the history of this van is unknown, it would be great to find out what actually happened to it, even if it is now Coca Cola cans up and down the country...

aufpet 2 Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Here is the latest picture we have just got from neighbours of Barry's at his fictional house in Beeston, thought you all might like to see it, never been seen before. Lee 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
littlebro 234 Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Barry's van was a Vauxhall Bedford HA van registered 1978-1979. There is no record of it at the DVLA, this may be due to it being scrapped a long time ago or the number displayed was not 'real'.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aufpet 2 Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 I have done a couple of searches for it, but didn't come up with much except- It was first registered between Aug 78 and July 79, in Dudley. Lee Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted September 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 If there's a number on the van try giving it a ring Quote Link to post Share on other sites

aufpet 2 Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 A couple of people have mentioned about Mary and The George Hotel/Pub.....Which town was this pub in? Thanks, Lee. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted September 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 The George hotel was on Hockley in Nottingham City. You should find a video that I uploaded showing Mary as an extra, shopping In ASDA West Bridgeford. During filming one series. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted September 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Sorry its a Still Mary was known as Mrs Slocombe due to the beahive hairdo. She was a character and not a woman to be messed with. searching slocombe on the site brings up a few mentions. Not sure which program this was from? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted September 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 I believe the cast and crew were staying at the George, and drank there, that would be why Mary got a walk on part. Unfortunately she does not come across well as I recall. Awkwardly walking into the frame and glancing sideways at the camera. She was a better barmaid than actress. One of the few that knew how to pour a Mann's Brown. Unlike the barman at Yates's.

Big Mac 12 Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 The series being filmed in Notts explains why one night at Jimmy's (night club in the Lac Market) I saw Jimmy Nail nailing a few. At the time I wondered why he was there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted September 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 Big Mac Jimmy's & Jimmy Singh is mentioned elsewhere here. I went their at that time and never saw 'Oz' Jimmy's later changed to 'Fat Wallets' Quote Link to post Share on other sites

aufpet 2 Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 Next year is the 30th Anniversary for the TV Show Auf Wiedersehen, Pet, and as you might know, the 2nd series was filmed in the Notts area. We are organising a Charity Evening/Exhibition in Newcastle in 2013, and need to track down people who worked on the show. If you know anybody who was involved with the show, or have picture or memorabilia from when the filming took place, then please get in touch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,464 Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 aufpet, I will email you on the subject as I worked at Central for 20 years and I am in contact with a number of people who worked on it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aufpet 2 Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Did you manage to get hold of anyone or anything to do with the show? Many thanks, Lee. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,464 Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 Lee, I put a reference to your auf-pet site on a Facebook group which is used by ex-Central staff. Your name was on the message as a contact point. Looking at it just now, it has been seen by 50 people, so I assume they are either thinking about contacting you, or can't think of anything to say!
