2. Channel

I was allowed to watch:

19:00 Die Feuerzangenbowle

Ah, a classic! Die Feuerzangenbowle is a German comedy from 1944. Or as Wikpedia puts it: “a masterpiece of timeless, cheerful escapism.” I still like to watch it occasionally.

I assume the second channel mentioned is the East German one, because I doubt our papers printed the TV schedule of the enemy . Private television must have started around that time in the West and being located right next to West-Berlin we had a bit more choice of TV programs than the two East German channels.
