Shipment concept

The concept of the live broadcast Grell-pastell came from Kurt Aeschbacher. Each show dealt with a specific topic in front of a studio audience and with guests. The stage design was designed to match. The first of a total of 36 programs ran on March 27, 1987, the last on December 1, 1994. Grell-pastell was broadcast on Thursdays.

reception

In an interview in February 2010, Kurt described Felix Grell-pastell as the "once [...] most courageous and editorially most innovative talk show in German-speaking Europe". Kurt Blum, editor of the program guide Tele , wrote in December 1994 that Grell-pastell was "the smartest entertainment institution that Swiss television has afforded to this day."

Bright pastel received a reprimand from the Independent Complaints Authority for Radio and Television (UBI) for breach of license due to a criticism of the broadcast guest Uta Ranke-Heinemann about the Pope in the program on "Sex" on November 25, 1988. She described the Pope as a murderer the condom ban despite the risk of HIV transmission and doubted the virginity of Maria . According to the UBI, this hurt the religious feelings of some viewers and thus contradicted the neutrality requirement of Swiss television.
