Prequel...

[Si]

Brilliant thread

[RHill]

Remember Oz and Dennis met on a building site in Cramlington...(it was Bedlington actually...)

Can you elaborate here? I didn't know this.

Series 4. I'm thinking A Gift From Fidel? Could be Our Men in Havana though.

Dennis calls Oz outside and that's when they have the Cramlington/Bedlington exchange

Spot on Si....

It ends with Dennis and a classic scene for me.

Oz - "Am ganning back to work...."
Dennis - *pauses....* "Aww bollocks!......"

[RHill]

Ah! Yes . Remember now. I was lost for a minute.

[RHill]

Loved the 'Gift From Fidel' episode the most from series 4. But haven't watched it for two years or abouts.

[Auf Wiedersehen, Pet]

Love series 4 me.
Anyway back to the prequel.

What about Ally Fraser back in the day when he was a young lad?

[RHill]

Can't think of any references regarding Ali's history.

[Si]

Getting kicked out of Berwick would be good. And his relationship with his staunch catholic bride perhaps?

[RHill]

Good point

I'd be interested in seeing what 'Hacksaw' Sid Henderson was like, who Barry worked with just before he arrived in the hut.

[Adolf]

Impeccably ironed shirts I reckon.

[Tracy]

'Hacksaw' ! All these years and I thought Barry called him 'Axle'. Good one lads, good good !!!

[markbaker23]

what if anything is known about oz's mate from the minefield?

I think there is nothing wrong in seeing it done then decided if we hate it or not. As we all know the history of the characters, I wouldn't be surprised if we would easily relate to and enjoy the prequel. The main worry would be - would we accept the new younger actors?

Richard, I wouldn't be down with a prequel. I had a hard enough time accepting the new Rod as he looks completely different from young Rod. And given the cast weren't that old to begin with, it would be a stretch imagining new actors playing them supposedly less than ten years younger. Probably for the best would be a series of novels, so we can imagine the original cast as their younger selves without the distraction of a new cast.
