Only the Pfister siblings have succeeded so perfectly in portraying the entertainment scene of the 60s, 70s and 80s. That was the time when there were still television programmes that worked across generations. They lovingly parody the sweetly mendacious kitsch of the industry, artfully, ambiguously and ‘only seemingly innocently’ (Die Welt).
Ursli Pfister, alias Christoph Marti, spent his childhood and youth in Switzerland in the 1970s. His programme about Peggy March reflects this time. The American Peggy March was one of the most successful pop singers in the German-speaking world between 1965 and 1980. Even if many people frown today because they don't immediately remember her name when she sings ‘Mit 17 hat man noch Träume’, ‘Carnaby Street’ or ‘Memories of Heidelberg’, a glow of remembrance flits across their faces. It has accompanied an entire generation from childhood into the adult world.
Christoph Marti takes us back to this time with the stories of his childhood and the songs of Peggy March, we get to know Mrs Huggenberger and will be surprised to be able to sing along to so many songs word for word.
