concept
Each episode is around 2 minutes long. The German-Austrian duo Stermann & Grissemann acts as the main actor . Christoph Grissemann plays a “native” Tyrolean, while Dirk Stermann takes on the role of the German apprentice who has just come to Austria. They usually discuss weekly political events in the usual sharp tone.
The original idea of this program comes from the ORF show Dorfers Donnerstalk . A 2-minute video clip called “Alpenzoo” was shown as part of the program. This spread so quickly on various Internet platforms that the duo was commissioned by the Premiere broadcaster to act in such a similar program.
