Classic ITV comedy Auf Wiedersehen Pet is to be screened in Germany for the first time after BBC Worldwide sold a significant package of programming to VoD site T-Online.
The sale, which comprises over 200 hours of content, represents the biggest digital deal to date for the BBC's commercial arm in the country.
Auf Wiedersehn Pet was first broadcast on ITV in 1984 and featured seven British migrant construction workers living and working on a German construction site.
It starred Crocodile Shoes actor Jimmy Nail and Kevin Whately, who plays Robbie Lewis in ITV1's Inspector Morse spin-off Lewis.
Other BBC programming within the slate includes Bafta award-winning sketch show Little Britain, spy drama Spooks and sitcom Coupling.
