"The Mountain Doctor" - Hans Sigl seeks direct contact with the public
Actor Hans Sigl (54) is seeking direct contact with the audience after completing filming for the 17th season of the ZDF series "Der Bergdoktor" - on an Advent reading tour. He told the German Press Agency shortly before the planned start of the tour on Tuesday (December 5) in Fürth that there is a big difference between being in front of an audience and being in front of a TV camera.
He can speak to people directly as Hans Sigl and doesn't have the character Martin Gruber or another role in between.
During the "Bergdoktor" filming, he was always on location at the Wilder Kaiser, and now he is looking forward to the tour: "It's nice, above all it takes me all over Germany - Fürth, Chemnitz, Neusäß, Hanover, Hamburg and then Munich." There will also be a big Christmas singalong in Munich's Olympic Hall on December 22.
New Year's Eve show on ARD
On December 31 at 8.15 p.m., he can be seen as the presenter of the ARD New Year's Eve show. He wants to sweeten the last evening of the year for people, he said. He also wants to use the show to bring joy to people who are alone on New Year's Eve. The co-host is Francine Jordi, and the guests include OMD, Loona, Vaya Con Dios and Mark Keller, Sigl's colleague from the "Bergdoktor" series.
According to the broadcaster, the new season of the successful ZDF series starts on January 4. Eight episodes have been filmed for the 17th season. Actors Heiko Ruprecht, Monika Baumgartner and Ronja Forcher will be back as the Gruber family.
