Re: Väter der Klamotte (1973-86)

Thanks! Know these DVDs -- that program was aired in short segments of several minutes in ARD's regional programs in the 1980s (if memory serves) as AUS ALT LACH NEU, hosted by Dutch TV personality and, apparently, film collector, Maarten van Roojen ( https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maarten_van_Rooije...

Re: Väter der Klamotte (1973-86)

That sounds like yet another series; KLAMOTTENKISTE (mostly?) used music by Conzelmann/Haensch, like this example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAPRSTgvjPk . VdK had Strittmater/Amper -- here's a nice rendition, from lockdown times apparently, of that show's main theme: https://www.youtube.com/wa...

Re: ALWAYS LATE (1923) Monty Banks

Looks like this has been, ahem, "lifted" from here, where it might thus be a tad better: https://digitaler-lesesaal.bundesarchiv.de/video/1333/685918

CHUMP AT OXFORD / BLOCKHEADS - ARD Mediathek full HD stream

Two nice, albeit potentially geoblocked surprises: BLOCKHEADS streaming until Jan 7: https://www.ardmediathek.de/video/Y3JpZDovL3dkci5kZS9CZWl0cmFnLXNvcGhvcmEtN2Y5MjhhODctZGVhYy00ZmEwLWE0MTktZWQ1OWE4YWI0OGJh I take it this is the same (cut?) version as on UK Blu. And, until Jan 21, 2025, and not on ...

Re: Väter der Klamotte (1973-86)

Ed, what kind of DVD set would that be? There hasn't been any proper release of this series at all, only of its follow-up (from a different creative team), KLAMOTTENKISTE, and those DVDs are badly cropped I understand. It's now available for pre-order: https://fernsehjuwelen.de/Vaeter-der-Klamotte-G...

Banana peel gags

Dear all, a question from film restorer Werner Petrell: what's the origin and earliest instances of the banana peel gag? There are some online texts like this, https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/31135/how-did-slipping-banana-peel-become-comedy-staple , that sound like they might ring true, one of t...
