Die Knoff-Hoff-Show was a comedy science TV show on the German public broadcaster ZDF. The original series was broadcast between 1986 and 1999; it returned as Die große Knoff-Hoff-Show in 2002–04. The name is a joke German pronunciation of the English expression know-how.
Concept
The concept of the show was developed in the mid-1980s by Шаблон:Interlanguage link, a TV presenter trained as a physicist. He was a presenter in all episodes. His co-presenters were Шаблон:Interlanguage link, Шаблон:Interlanguage link, Monica Lierhaus and Шаблон:Interlanguage link.
The show explained scientific concepts by means of simple experiments that anyone could replicate. In addition, hobbyists were given the opportunity to present their inventions; these included a pretzel-cutting machine and a foam-throwing machine. Each week, the show included some "crazy" experiments by Knoff-Hoff Professor Charlie (played by Egon Keresztes); these were so absurd, they frequently went wrong.
The Veterinary Street Jazz Band played the theme tune, an interpretation of the 1927 song "Ain’t She Sweet", first recorded by Шаблон:Interlanguage link, at the start and end of the program, and also brief musical interludes between segments.
Die Knoff-Hoff-Show rapidly became one of the most successful science shows on German television. It was dubbed in nine languages and shown on other continents.Шаблон:Citation needed
History
The show aired for the first time on 16 February 1986 and ended with Episode 79 on 21 March 1999.[1] Beginning in 2002 ZDF broadcast a second series, titled Die große Knoff-Hoff-Show (The Big Knoff-Hoff Show); this ended in December 2004. According to Bublath, it was canceled because it proved impossible to keep up the pace of experiments ("a new experiment every minute").[2]
There were also two special broadcasts in summer 2005 under the title Der Sommer mit Knoff-Hoff (Summer with Knoff-Hoff).
