Extratour was a music and comedy show broadcast live on television by Radio Bremen from January 17, 1985 to April 13, 1989 , which, as a successor to the music store, ran once every quarter on Thursdays at 9:03 p.m. directed by Michael Leckebusch .

The moderators included Margarethe Schreinemakers and Stefan Viering . Christian Berg and Michael Geyer were on the road as external reporters and took care of strange things, such as reading out the Christmas cards shortly before Christmas in the Post's distribution center. One of the most spectacular actions of the Extratour magazine was directed against the war memorial on Hamburg's Dammtor . Hamburg residents were asked to wrap the memorial in the manner of the packaging artist Christo with blankets, towels and sheets they had brought with them.

The musical guests were mainly stars of the hit parade at the time, such as Depeche Mode , Tiffany or T'Pau .

The cabaret interludes mostly consisted of political cabaret . Among other things, the cabaret artist Bruno Jonas had his permanent place here.

Drawn cartoons began with the words “Attention, now comes a box!” Uttered by a squatting little child. The child was corrected from the off : "That means cartoon." The child repeated his own words, whereupon a large cardboard box labeled "Cartoon" fell open-side down on the child.

The program was broadcast 19 times in total. In 1987, Birgitt Reckmeyer and Rolf B. Tiesler received an Adolf Grimme Silver Award as editors of the program because, as the jury found, Radio Bremen had succeeded in creating “a genuine television cabaret”, “one that vigorously and carefree against the aging tendencies of the Working against the medium ”.
