Shame! was a television series that dealt with the fortunes of a rock 'n' roll band in Munich in the mid-1980s. It ran for the first time in October 1985, there are a total of thirteen episodes with titles like way too many and way too hot , each 25 minutes. Characteristic of the series, which ran on the ARD pre-evening program, were partly surreal storylines with magical elements, 1980s music (produced by Lothar Meid ) and young, largely unknown actors. Much of it still breathed the spirit of the Neue Deutsche Welle , which at that time had already passed its peak.
Characters and Performers
The five main characters that appear in each episode were the five band members:
- Lili (saxophone), played by Sissy Kelling
- Panda (guitar), played by Sebastian Deutschmann
- Terry (vocals), played by Sigi Hümmer
- Felix (bass), played by Michael Sailer
- Bruno (drums), played by Jürgen Tonkel
In addition, in addition to a large number of constantly changing actors, a few secondary characters that kept appearing:
- Lukas D. Pencil, head of Hip Records and opponent of the band, played by Frank Jürgen Krüger
- Herbert Hiebert, his agent and assistant, played by Andreas Olshausen
- Dolores, the lead secretary, played by Dolly Dollar
- Marina, landlady in Blam's local pub! Played by Veronika von Quast
music
The performers in the musical group were actually musicians. So were z. B. Sigi Hümmer (or Sigi Pop) and Michael Sailer are both members of the Munich punk band Marionetz , who released their second album Vierzehn in 1984 , Jürgen Tonkel drummer with the Starnberg punk band A + P.
reception
The series was not received enthusiastically at the time of its creation. On 1980s pages, however, people keep asking about her, and it seems to be gathering a certain fan base. This is probably due to the very special character and the typical setting. The series was never repeated.
