Overview
Father Frost has struck. Shortly before Christmas Eve, half of Münster caught a cold. Also in court, where Chief Inspector Frank Thiel (Axel Prahl) and Prof. Karl-Friedrich Boerne (Jan Josef Liefers) are waiting for the verdict in a murder trial. Public prosecutor Wilhelmine Klemm (Mechthild Großmann) even has to break off her closing speech, and the verdict is adjourned because of the outbreak of colds. Actually, the evidence in the murder case is clear - but then a mysterious caller reports to Chief Inspector Thiel. Thiel and Boerne actually wanted to spend Christmas with family and friends, but to their disappointment they canceled. The case and the work assignment before Christmas Eve is a welcome distraction.
About the show
Tatort is a long-running German/Austrian/Swiss crime television series set in various parts of these countries. The show is broadcast on the channels of ARD in Germany, ORF 2 in Austria, and SF1 in Switzerland. The first episode was broadcast on November 29, 1970. The opening sequence for the series has remained the same throughout the decades, which remains highly unusual for any such long-running TV series to date. Each of the regional TV channels that together form ARD, plus ORF and SF, produces its own episodes, starring its own police inspector, some of which, like the discontinued Schimanski, have become cultural icons. The show appears on DasErste and ORF 2 on Sundays at 8:15 p.m. and currently about 30 episodes are made per year. As of March 2013, 865 episodes in total have been produced. Tatort is currently being broadcast in the United States on the MHz Worldview channel under the name Scene of the Crime.
