Churning was one of the most popular entertainment shows of the 1970s on German television. It followed the Rudi Carrell Show and was also presented by Rudi Carrell .
prehistory
Carrell liked the extremely successful show on Dutch television Een van de Acht very much from the start. That is why he had suggested Hans-Joachim Kulenkampff get the tapes in order to present a German licensed edition. But he wasn't interested in it at all.
When Carrell found his Rudi Carrell Show to be out of date in the autumn of 1973 , he planned to take over a German licensed edition himself. He saw that there was no way around a game with candidates. Furthermore, he didn't like quiz shows, so he thought of evaluating the candidates' creativity. And that is exactly what the Dutch show did.
In order to be able to produce a fairly, if not overly complex, program, Carrell considered the WDR as the largest ARD broadcaster to be a suitable partner. This is how the cooperation between WDR and Radio Bremen came about . The division essentially provided that the WDR took over the financing and Radio Bremen provided the studio.
procedure
Opening
As with the Rudi Carrell Show , Carrell began every edition of Amlauf Band with a mostly specially composed song. In the first edition it read:
“We create every day
churning out, feeling miserable churning out
and then we're totally exhausted in
the evening, that's nothing new for you and me.
Always rushing,
churning, always sharpening, churning
You prefer to stick your head in the sand,
that's nothing new for you and for me
But today I say stop the gallop
And my argument:
There are many dramas, like also tragedy
and who doesn't want a happy ending?
You can also laugh non-stop
And do nonsense
non-stop Today there's something new and I'm curious.
There are relatives non-stop
And what else is there?
There are acquaintances non-stop
and what else is there?
You can win continuously "
With a shortened version of When will it be summer again? Carrell opened the show twice; once when the title came out and then again when rainy weather gave cause for it.
Candidates
The game took place with eight candidates. There were four couples, the specialty being that they had to be relatives from different generations, for example mother and son or grandma and granddaughter. An exception was made in 1976 when only identical twins played and the games were geared towards this.
Games
Three game rounds were used to determine the winner. In the first two rounds two pairs played against each other, in the third round a winner was determined from the two winning pairs.
The first two rounds consisted of three games, the first always being a recognition game. For the most part, a player had to predict the behavior of his partner from each pair, sometimes he had to recognize him, for example by shaking hands. In the second game there was something to guess, and in the third game the players had to take action themselves. This performance was assessed with points, with 1, 2, 3 and 4 points being awarded once each. A prominent guest, with whom the game was associated, was responsible for this in the first broadcasts. Later on, an evaluation by the audience was carried out, for which every seat was equipped with a button.
The third round initially consisted of two games, from which a couple emerged victorious. Which of the two was the winner of the evening, decided three questions about the news, which were presented by a prominent guest. The first issue was about Karl-Heinz Köpcke , who had spoken the daily news before the broadcast and then rushed to the studio in Bremen. The candidates had seen the news together. During the German autumn of 1977, the Tagesschau game was temporarily removed from the show because the Tagesschau at times consisted almost entirely of terrorism reports that did not seem suitable for an entertainment show.
The moving belt
The winner was allowed to take a seat in an Asian wicker chair and look at the objects that were passing on the conveyor belt in front of him. The winner then had 30 seconds to list as many of the items as possible. A tape recording was then played back so that the employees in the background had enough time to pick out the recommended prices and bring them onto the stage.
Prizes
There were both symbolic and actual prizes, and sometimes it was impossible to tell what it was. Carrell always explained the symbolic prices. In every broadcast there was a cube with a question mark, which stood for a surprise price of up to 5,000 DM.
The couples who had previously retired received consolation prizes, and at times it was a meal for the whole family, which should also underline the idea of a cross-generational show.
Working method
Die Bremer six days
If the program was broadcast on Saturday, the entire team including the consultant Leslie Roberts was in Bremen on Monday. You spoke of the Bremen people for six days. Changes could take place right up to the end, even after the dress rehearsal it happened that a game did not reach the audience and was therefore replaced. The scenery could also be changed right up to the end, whereby the employees of Radio Bremen always proved to be very flexible.
Live broadcast
Churning was usually broadcast live. The New Year's Eve broadcasts, which were recorded a week beforehand, were an exception.
Changes
The broadcasts initially all took place in the same setting. After 25 episodes, Carrell found that he couldn't think of any new games at the sight. So you moved on to topics such as camping or farm. The running line was adapted to the backdrop, with the subject of the castle there was even no assembly line, but people who carried the prizes past the candidate.
team
Cornelis op den Zieken
As known from the Rudi Carrell Show , Cornelis op den Zieken was the musical director. He performed on the show with a small orchestra. Rudi Carrell sang some songs using the full playback method without an orchestra.
Heinz Eckner
the since 1968 on every issue of Rudi Carrell Show cooperating Heinz Eckner Rudi also took over. He became his assistant, who accompanied the candidates, announced the score and also took part in some games. The name Eckner is therefore just as inseparable At churning connected as Carrell. Eckner said about the collaboration:
“I worked with him for twelve years. We were colleagues, but not friends. "
Marijke Amado
From episode 38, three assistants worked; one of them was Marijke Amado , who started her television career with it.
Leslie Roberts
Carrell's advisor Leslie Roberts was flown in at WDR's expense before each broadcast. He was present at the meetings, which were held in English about it, and brought new ideas with him.
Alfred Biolek
Carrell got to know Alfred Biolek at Bavaria when he - unsuccessfully - tried to make the Dutch comedian Seth Gaaikema known in Germany. In the Saturday evening broadcast with Seth , Carrell was invited as a sketch partner, took the opportunity to speak to Biolek about his move to WDR and asked whether he would like to present his concept for the new game show there. Biolek then became the producer of Churning Belt . When he got his own show Bio's Bahnhof in 1978 , he gave up this role.
Thomas Woitkewitsch
At Bavaria, Carrell also met Thomas Woitkewitsch . For Saturday evening, Seth wrote the title What Happened to Me, I Can't See Beer Any More , which the passionate beer drinker Carrell found a fascinating idea. So Woitkewitsch became a lyricist for many Carrell songs and one of the most important contributors to Amlauf Band .
It was Woitkewitsch who suggested the title Churning for the new show. His most important task was to travel around the country and select suitable candidates from the numerous applications. At first he did this together with Biolek, after which a new employee was proposed to him, but he thought it would be better to take on this important task alone. All those involved believed that a careful selection of the candidates was most important for the success of the show.
Dieter Krap
Dieter Krap was a particularly committed employee who mastered even seemingly impossible tasks:
“If I would say to him: Dieter, I need the Dutch queen for the three questions from the daily news, then he is ready to jump into his car, drive to Holland, ring the front door of the palace and when the kings open to say:
Madam, I have a surprise for you. You can appear in the Carrell Show! "
Krap became the show's producer after Biolek's departure.
Kurt Felix
Since the current tape took place with the participation of SRG and ORF , Kurt Felix supported the search for candidates in Switzerland.
Dieter Pröttel and Ekkehard Böhmer
Since it was especially nerve-racking as a director to work with Carrell, it was difficult to find a talented cast. Finally, Dieter Pröttel and Ekkehard Böhmer agreed to take turns directing.
Special events
Muhammad Ali
Carrell thought Muhammad Ali was a great entertainer and had tried for some time to fit him into his show in some way. In episode 20 this succeeded spectacularly. A few days before the broadcast, a 24-minute show boxing match with the candidates and Carrell as referee took place, which was shortened to 18 minutes on the show. In retrospect, Carrell considered this to be the high point of his career.
Rod Hull
The British comedian Rod Hull was a guest in two editions with his hand puppet, an emu. He played his puppet so perfectly that the impression was given that it was an independently acting living being.
Andrea Jürgens
In the 1977 New Year's Eve edition, Andrea Jürgens had her first TV appearance with the title And I love you both . She was put to bed by Evelyn Hamann and then began to sing. Her producer Jack White had previously tried unsuccessfully to get Andrea on TV. Rudi Carrell wanted the singer to be exclusive, which White could easily agree to.
Special candidates
Sister Renate
In episode 10, Carrell liked the appearance of the religious sister Renata from Passau particularly well. So he decided to forego the Tagesschau questions, put her on the bandwagon and simply give her fellow player the same prices.
Renate Delfs
The candidate Renate Delfs of episode 25 began a career as an actress after her appearance and even released a single with Carrell.
Jörg Knör Carrell thought
the candidate Jörg Knör was a very promising young artist. Carrell let him take part in the show at the age of 15 and cheated a little with the age statement, since he was actually too young for the show. He was allowed to take part in other editions behind the scenes and then started a television career.
resonance
Critic
Churn got a lot of praise from the critics. Alfred Biolek said: “That was unique in Germany, because whenever the quotas were as high as with Churning Band, then there are almost always deviations. But at Rudi's show, the press went crazy: The FAZ, Die Zeit, the Süddeutsche, everyone was enthusiastic. "
Television Awards In
1974 Carrell was awarded the Golden Screen Award. In February 1975 he was awarded the Golden Camera , the prize of a specialist jury from Hörzu magazine. Their readers also voted on an audience award with half a million postcards sent in, which Carrell also received - in second and third place came Hans Rosenthal with Dalli Dalli and Wim Thoelke with The Grand Prize . In 1975, 1979 and 1980 Carrell got a Bambi .
Eén van de Acht
License Mies Bouwman came up with the
original Eén van de Acht , and she also presented the show. Carrell suggested to her that she should demand a license fee of DM 10,000, the WDR needed the show and would pay for it. This is how it happened, taking the position that only the first 20 editions took over the original games, so that the payments were then stopped, but this view was unsuccessful in court.
The Generation Game
For Bouwman, it was the first show that she could sell abroad. The show ran in the UK from 1971 to 1982 as The Generation Game , the title emphasizing that the candidate pairs were made up of different generations. There were also license issues in Italy and Spain.
Original
Eén van de Acht ran for VARA from 1969 to 1973 . When she came up with the idea of having the prizes run past the candidate on an assembly line at the end of the show, she was inspired by The Rudi Carrell Show , when she played in a factory and an assembly line was used to display items - which in 1963 in one Dutch and three years later in a German edition. At that time, the assembly line transported various objects and Carrell sang something suitable for each and called it a churn . Rudi Carrell thought Mies Bouwman was an outstanding presenter. She also thought candidate selection was important:
“I personally selected all the candidates, I didn't leave that to anyone else. I first did two screen tests with them and then sent people from my team to them again to get another opinion. Of course it was an enormous job to do it myself, but it was definitely worth it. "
Mies Bouwman was the guest of the ninth edition of Chatting .
Rudi Carrell had changed very little to the specifications, and the question mark as a surprise prize was already there in Eén van de Acht . The biggest difference was in the questions from the last round. In the original, the general education was checked, what happened with a studio darkening, to which the saying light uit - spot aan belonged. Carrell didn't believe in a quiz and therefore only checked whether the candidates could remember the news they had seen immediately before the broadcast. And the saying light off - spot on already belonged to Ilja Richter and his music show Disco , which is why it could not be taken over.
Merchandising
At the turn of the year 1974/75, the Hörzu magazine published the title Spiel mit mir! a section in which Carrell presents games, from which the book Playing with Rudi Carrell emerges. Of ASA also a board game appears with the title on churning with an initial print run of 100,000 copies.
New edition
The post goes from
1993 there was a re-edition under the title The post goes off! .
Florian Silbereisen
On December 2, 2006, a one-time remake of the program in honor of Rudi Carrell, who died shortly before, was broadcast on ARD and ORF . It was moderated by Florian Silbereisen .
Jörg Pilawa
On the occasion of Rudi Carrell's 80th birthday, a new edition with Jörg Pilawa was broadcast on NDR television on December 22, 2014 . The cross-generational couples were, however, prominent. There were Ben Becker and his daughter Lilith, Oliver Pocher and his father Gerhard, Désirée Nosbusch and their daughter Luka Kloser as well as Bettina Tietjen and her daughter Pia. The guest of honor of the pilot episode was Carrell's daughter, Annemieke Kesselaar . Judith Rakers appeared as a special guest .
