Hey you! was a children's and youth program produced and broadcast by GDR television in the 1980s . It ran under the further title " On the stairs to the bet ".

concept

“Hey - you!” Was conceptually a quiz show with youth magazine elements. In each episode, two school classes competed against each other. The individual quiz rounds were designed differently, mostly around questions and hands-on activities. The final game was always a seesaw with two seat gondolas, in each of which one team member sat. The correct or incorrect answer to the questions asked raised or lowered a rocker side. In the end, the team whose representatives were lowered into the water basin under the respective gondolas lost.

Between 1981 and 1989 a total of 70 episodes of the one-hour series were produced. The broadcast always took place once a month on a fixed slot on Sunday morning in the first program, the repetition on the following Tuesday in the afternoon program.

Moderation

The series was moderated by different people. Among the most popular and best known were entertainer Wolfgang Lippert and actor and voice actor Jürgen Mai . Both moderated in alternating cycles until the series was discontinued.

Elements of the broadcast

There was also at least one music act per broadcast from the then current GDR music scene . Almost all well-known artists of the GDR rock and pop scene appeared in "He - Du!", Including the Puhdys , Ralf Bursy and Inka . Moderator Lippert also sang one or the other composed song in loose succession.

Another recurring element was a sweepstakes called "Spectator Homework". Mostly it was a question of scientific experiments, the correct outcome of which formed the correct answer and which was resolved in the next episode. The experiments were carried out by the moderators themselves, in the case of Lippert by the fictional character of "Professor Lippinski" embodied by him.
