The show was meant to compete with those on West German television. To this end it was fairly successful even attracting a following in parts of West Germany which could receive Eastern TV. Its production values were high. Apart from song and dance numbers and appearances from East German celebrities, almost every broadcast featured well-known stars from the west, often after their popularity had peaked in their home countries.

Despite the improvisational skills of the Obermüller/Hurtig team, there are a few minor compromises when it comes to service...

Doppelt gebacken poster

Master baker Oskar Lorenz is plagued by a number of worries, because almost every day one of his employees is affected by a different "ailment", making it difficult for the bakery to meet the plan. After all, Lorenz and his team have to ensure that fresh bread rolls and, above all, Berlin country bread can be sold to customers on time every day. And Oskar alone cannot fill all the gaps in the staff. To remedy this situation, Oskar's sister Ilse has come up with something for her brother: a "disease" that is difficult to diagnose. He is now confined to his bed and can no longer fulfill his duties. Ziegler, his deputy, is deeply impressed by the pitiful sight that his otherwise strong master now presents. This seems to be the first ray of hope for Ilse to cure Oskar's coworker and her brother of their "ailments" at the same time.

It all begins with a crazy idea. Peter Schönfeld, a good husband whose excess of virtue already seems suspicious, is to be subjected to a fidelity test. Rosemarie, Peter's wife Regina's best friend, wants to dissuade the straw widower from the path of virtue with all kinds of tricks and erotic finesse. This leads to all kinds of confusion and mix-ups, to which Uncle Ewald, whose motto is "If you have worries, you need a liqueur", and his daughter Gisela, the "model", as well as Peter's neighbor, the amateur nude photographer Konrad Förster, intentionally and unintentionally contribute. So it will be interesting to see whether the "hero" of the play, Peter Schönfeld, can still say at the end: "Yes, that's the kind of man I am!".

Ja, so ein Mann bin ich!
