Eight after 8 was a German game show , of which a total of six episodes were produced and broadcast by ARD in 1973 , as a joint production by Hessischer Rundfunk for the first time with the broadcaster Free Berlin . The first broadcast ran on January 20, 1973 and, like the second and sixth episodes, was broadcast from the Rhein-Main-Halle in Wiesbaden. The other three programs came from Berlin, namely from Hall 1 of the Berlin Exhibition Center at the radio tower. The show was shown on the evening program of the first German television on Saturdays . The show was hosted by Hans-Joachim Kulenkampff , and his assistant was Marie-Claude Karera . The HR dance orchestra under the direction of Heinz Schönberger and the SFB dance orchestra under the direction of Paul Kuhn played .
The game principle
Each episode of the game show has spanned a decade. Four couples from Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Great Britain had to answer questions about the respective decade in three rounds of quizzes. Celebrities who had made a name for themselves in that decade appeared in the show part of the show.
The individual shows were:
- 1920s - broadcast on January 20, 1973 (with Joséphine Baker )
- 1930s - broadcast on February 17, 1973 (with Martha Eggerth, among others )
- 1940s - broadcast on March 17, 1973 (with Marika Rökk, among others )
- 1950s - broadcast on April 14, 1973 (with Peter Kraus )
- 1960s - broadcast on May 5, 1973 (with Udo Jürgens , Martin Jente, among others )
The last broadcast was broadcast on June 9, 1973. On the occasion of Kulenkampff's 20th anniversary as a quiz master, the show was presented not as a quiz, but as an auction broadcast.
The show was discontinued for lack of success - and probably because no more decades could be used as a theme.
Oddities
Kulenkampff's assistant Marie-Claude Karera sparked a public discussion. The television newspaper Hörzu reported on the “bare past life” of the 25-year-old teacher from Rwanda. She had played a masseuse in a crime scene episode and was seen half-naked.
