Loriot and Evelyn Hamann reading from Loriot's dramatic works (early 1980s). The book contains the dramatic texts of a number of cartoons and skits by Loriot.
Loriot is a German comedy television series produced by Radio Bremen from 1976 to 1978 . In each of the six episodes (numbered with the Roman numerals I-VI), skits and cartoons by and with Loriot were shown. Some of these achieved cult status . In the 1990s, the short films were rearranged in 14 programs of 25 minutes each, supplemented by works from other television programs with Loriot. In October 2007, the six episodes were published in largely their original order and length on the Loriot DVD box - The Complete Television Edition.
Mid-1970s, Loriot decided at Radio Bremen a successor mission of his in the South German Radio incurred Series Cartoon (1967-1972; special broadcast Telecabinet , 1974) to produce. He followed the call of Dieter Ertels , the then program director at Radio Bremen, who offered him working conditions that seemed ideal, and turned down offers from other, larger TV stations. Ertel, who had been head of the television program department for culture and society at SDR from 1968 to the end of 1973 , already knew Loriot from their friendship on Cartoon . In addition to Loriot, the editorial team for the new series included Radio Bremen's TV game director Jürgen Breest and Stefan Lukschy . Loriot wrote the scripts and directed all episodes.
For cost reasons, actors from the Bremen theater were the main actors . Acting as Loriot's comoder and leading actress in many sketches, Evelyn Hamann thwarted Loriot's idea of the female lead when she first met. He had envisaged a medium-sized, plump, 50-year-old, blonde, permed housewife who did not correspond at all to the slim, tall and still young Hamann with a brunette mane. However, she convinced Loriot with her precision and versatility, her calmness and her voice, which made him change his concept.
Most of the shooting took place in Bremen . This is how the sketch Gran Paradiso was created in the large Tenever housing estate in Bremen-Osterholz, which was still under construction at the time . The parking fee sketch was filmed on Ulrichsplatz in downtown Bremen.

Loriot leads through the show as a presenter and parodies everyday situations in sketches together with other actors. There are also short cartoons drawn by Loriot. A green sofa in the Biedermeier style serves as seating . In episodes V and VI Evelyn Hamann acts as co-host.
List of skits
Episodes I and II have a subtitle that has been omitted from episode III.
The original version of episode II also contained the cartoon The Mad Baker by Ted Petok , which was actually intended for the cartoon series. In later TV reruns and publications on VHS cassette and DVD this film was omitted because Loriot only dubbed it . Instead of this six-minute film about a chocolate cake devouring people, which Loriot presented as a Frankenstein adaptation, the animated film Der Kunstpfeifer and the Sketch Flute Concerto were later broadcast in episode II.
More than in the previous episodes, the films in episode VI are interwoven and follow a story that builds on one another. Thematically, there is a Christmas focus corresponding to the "quiet pre-Christmas time we are in now" (Loriot's greeting text based on the date of the first broadcast). For the first repetition on August 17, 1979, a new introduction was filmed with Evelyn Hamann, which humorously refers to the discrepancy between the broadcast date and the topic of "Christmas". A new cut, abridged version of episode VI in 1997 has since been broadcast under the title Christmas at Hoppenstedts and has developed into a “Christmas classic” that is broadcast annually on Christmas Eve or the Christmas holidays in the first or one of the third programs .
For episode VI, the sketch Flute Concerto was initially planned. For dramaturgical reasons and due to limited airtime, the already completed sketch was canceled and only premiered in the television program on the occasion of Loriot's 60th birthday. The cartoon Advent originally comes from the cartoon series (episode 11) and was first broadcast on December 7, 1969. The original version of The Family User was also first seen in cartoon on December 23, 1968 (episode 7). A new version was created for Loriot VI .
Version from 1997
In 1997 Das Erste aired a fourteen-part, heavily revised new version of the series, which includes both skits and cartoons from the original series as well as from other television programs with Loriot. Among other things, there are recourse to cartoon and special programs for Loriot's big birthdays. Some films from the original series have been omitted.
