A Place in Greece: Year 2

You have to see this programme to understand why it's so good, but once you do you'll be addicted! Classic British comedy all wrapped up in a thoroughly entertaining documentary which follows four friends attempting to build their dream home abroad.

Series two catches up with Andy, Brian, Pete and Les out in Crete.

Nothing ever seems to go right for them, which is so funny to watch. I adore Pete and Les. Pete's one liners are the highlight of the show.

I really hope there's a third series on the way.

Highlights of series two would include:

The German housemate Brian in a canoe

Watched many times. All episodes available on YouTube. Unlikely ever to be shown on tv again or released on DVD. Pete Cardy sadly passed earlier this year 2024, Brian Saunders a few years ago. Unfortunately the Greek adventure didn't work out for Brian and Andrew and they eventually moved back to the UK. Thanks to all concerned for delighting and brightening our lives. I thought there was plenty of scope for more episodes, even another season, when it ended. The production company moved on to A Place in Spain... in Italy and I think... in Czechoslovakia. So that proves it was a popular format for afyernoon television in the early days of Freeview. Cheers to Brian, Pete. Andrew and Lesley.

I first watched this series when it first aired on UK television - Channel 4 I believe. At the time I was recovering from spinal surgery and this series kept my spirits up and gave me something to look forward to. Since then I've often watched the uploaded episodes on YouTube etc especially if I'm feeling a bit down. I'd love to either see these on TV once again or obtain DVD copies.

I was so sad to hear of Brian's passing in 2020 - such a character who is and will be sadly missed. God bless you Brian and love to Andrew, Les and Pete.
