Barry Taylor (b. 1957 in West Midlands) was a fictional character from the television series Auf Wiedersehen, Pet. Portrayed by Timothy Spall, he featured in every series of from 1983-2004.
Barry is a bashful, boring, bumbling West Midlander (he mentions connections with West Bromwich and Wolverhampton) electrician with a large vocabulary and a motorbike. His tendency to be 'boring' and to look on the black side of things are mocked by his mates, but they retain some affection for him. He is especially close to womanizing Wayne who he goes for regularly for advice.
He has been married twice, first to a local girl named Hazel played by Melanie Hill, then to the glamorous Russian, Tatiana played by Branka Katic, this marriage ended in the third series when Barry had a major nervous breakdown. He was exceptionally rich at this time and at the end of the series he is reconciled with Tatiana.
