history
Almost at the same time as Westdeutscher Rundfunk's Baff program was discontinued , ZDF presented the program directly in the summer of 1971 . The format offered a platform for topics and problems of young people from their own point of view, in that they were involved in the production of the program. The editorial team often took up topics from young viewers and implemented them on film. In terms of content, the young "editorial helpers" had a free hand and in terms of production technology they were supported by professional television staff. As a result, partisan and one-sided films were deliberately made.
In December 1981 the two-part episode solved Abortion - My Daughter Doesn't! violent protests. The program direct dealt with the topics AIDS and homosexuality as early as the 1970s , which were discussed controversially from 1981 in subsequent discussions under the title direct . Overall, the magazine was rated as “ left-wing ” and sometimes harshly criticized.
The show ran first on Saturdays at 6:45 p.m., then at 6:00 p.m. and alternated with series such as Kung Fu or Bonanza . From 1978 the start was moved to 7:30 p.m. and from 1982 to Wednesdays at 7:30 p.m. The program " colon" was the successor to direct .
