Production
editThe four-part documentary was shot in 2006 and first broadcast in January 2007 as part of the Spiegel TV on Sat.1. SpiegelTV published this again in 2020 on the web video portal YouTube under the format Spiegel-TV-Classics. There, the documentary became very popular, with some parts of the video even being shared as memes,[3] and it was decided that the series should be continued. On the night of November 23 to 24, 2021, the sequel was broadcast on Sat. 1.
Criticism
