Auf Wiedersehen Pet: Scoop (ITV 25 Apr 1986)

In Scoop the boys are finally in Spain but are having to pose as holiday makers, in fact they are a bit put out to find they are sharing a package tour with a group of old age pensioners! Meanwhile the English papers, who are keeping their eyes on the numerous British crooks who have made their home on the Costa Del Sol, have decided the boys are actually a gang of armed robbers known as The Sheffield Payroll Gang.

Great episode, the boys initially get lost en route to Ally’s villa and go skinny dipping in the pool of an English ex-pat couple who are less than impressed! Funnily enough the Spanish interiors look remarkably unrealistic and Duty Free like.
