Alarm for Dora X was the first of its kind as an adventure crime series and was broadcast for the first time from January to May 1962 in loose succession on Tuesdays at 7:25 p.m. on the NDR regional program and has never been repeated since then. It was a commissioned production for Northwest German advertising television.
action
Pilot Hanns Brenner not only flies ambulance transports with his Dora X helicopter and saves people from dangerous situations, he also pursues criminals throughout Bavaria and in the border region of the Alps. On the ground, he is supported by his colleague Inge Kolbach and the mechanic Franz.
Others
A regular location was the airfield in Dürnbach . The episodes were commented on from off by Adrian Hoven , the actor who played Hanns Brenner. Since no original sound was recorded during filming, each episode had to be dubbed.
The figure of Lindner is listed on the crime thriller website either as a gendarme, inspector or without a more detailed description of a title or rank.
In contrast to the prominent main actors, the level of awareness of the guest actors, if they could be determined at all, is rather low from today's perspective. Few names like Tatjana Iwanow or Erwin Strahl are still common today.
Author Walter Forster also wrote scripts for the 1967 crime series From midnight to midnight and for Das Kriminalmuseum .
The number of episodes is not clear. While z. For example, if 10 episodes were published on DVD, there were at least 15 different episode titles according to the crime thriller website . Eleven episodes were shown on NDR, four more were broadcast for the first time on other regional channels. It is possible that these were episodes with other titles that had already been broadcast on NDR. The title of the first broadcast is given in the episode list.
Almost all episodes were of different lengths. While some episodes only lasted 19 minutes, episode 3 ("Danger in the Quarry") lasted over 22 minutes.
