Dieter Hallervorden? He used to be a staple in New Year‘s programmes, but not so much in the last ten, twenty years or so. As a child I always watched his shows.
No, I never would have guessed people would know him in India.
That's strange! I liked him when I was little, and today I know that he did and maybe still does some more serious stuff as well (mostly on stage). Have you seen his movies?
His movies from the 80s are worth watching, especially "Non-Stop Trouble with My Double", because they have this comedic bitter tragedy I haven't encountered anywhere else.
Are Germans aware how popular the "Didi's Comedy Show" was in India during the 80s?
I grew up with that show and still crack up at Didi's antics.
