content

The everyday life of the married couple Willy and Heidi Müller, who run a cleaning company together, is described.

Others

The first episode ran on August 22, 1971 in prime time at 8:15 p.m. Originally, the episodes were to be shown every two to three weeks, but after harsh audience criticism, the series was taken out of the program before the second episode was broadcast (planned for September 12, 1971). Apparently only five episodes had been filmed up to this point and they were revised. According to a statement by Willy Millowitsch in an article in the television magazine Hörzu (issue 39/1971), “seven more episodes should be shot by December”. These and the four already finished episodes were then broadcast once a month on Saturdays or Sundays in the afternoon program from July 15, 1972, but no longer under the original series title, but only under the title of the individual episodes.

Well-known episodic actors were Dieter Hallervorden , Klaus Dahlen , Michael Hinz , Wilfried Herbst , Rudolf Schündler , Peter Frankenfeld , Gudrun Genest , Herbert Fux , Hans Hermann Schaufuß (as director Kallwein in episode 5), Gisela Uhlen , Erich Fiedler , Walter Gross , Rut Rex , Tilo von Berlepsch , Klaus Miedel , Eric Vaessen , Herbert Weissbach , Harald Juhnke and Elke Aberle . Hubert von Meyerinck played one of his last roles in the first episode.

Rolf and Alexandra Becker , Detlef Müller and Peter M. Thouet were responsible for the scripts .

Reviews

The audience reactions were consistently negative. After the first episode, the Hörzu readers' mail (issue 37/1971) was invariably ridiculed and ridiculed:

"Heidi and Willy weren't tip-top at all, the script stupid, the direction amateurish and the whole thing further proof that even supposed lows can be undercut with television."

"Are we TV viewers a people of total village jerks?"

"... it should be about time that those responsible were checked for their suitability, because that was an insult to the television fee payers."

"How bad it must be even for such prominent actors as Heidi Kabel and Willy Millowitsch to take on roles that come from such a stupid script."

"Hei-Wi-Tip-Stop!"

The second episode also received negative feedback from viewers and television critics. So wrote the Hörzu :

"So what! What everyone suspected, what many wrote: 'Hei-Wi-Tip-Top' celebrated a happy birth on ZDF. Camouflage title: 'The child in the trunk'. The actors deserve pity, not blame. To speak and play such bullshit must hurt. Six authors are said to have muddled on the 'improvement' of this episode. Not possible! "
