His television history trilogy, broadcast between January 2003 and December 2004, attracted particular attention: The first part, The Whole One Talking , deals with the first thirty years of German TV talk (3 parts of 60 min., About Sex and Love , About Difficult Life and from the end on earth , of women and other politicians ); Our elected representatives will contact the politicians call on German television apart (2 parts of 60 min., Liar wins? , Who answers, loses? ), And endless games? Finally, the big TV show on German television reflects (2 parts of 90 min., curiosity and glee , everyday escape or education ). In each of these parts, Anne Will questioned a well-known group of protagonists critically about their own actions.
