20:15, Das Erste, Winter Waltz, tragicomedy
Preview - TV tips on Friday
Albert (Ulrich Matthes) never wants to dance the slow waltz again! Because it belonged to his wife Martha and him. Albert is a retired dance teacher and has been a widower for three years. He misses his wife so much that he has lost all courage to face life, buries himself in his semi-detached house - and meticulously plans his demise. But an unforeseen dance class with an exceptionally untalented student thwarts his plans. What he doesn't suspect is that his daughter Ina (Antonia Bill) has plotted to save him. The untalented pupil is psychiatrist Hanne (Nina Kunzendorf), who is supposed to treat Albert unnoticed - as a kind of undercover therapist, so to speak.

When Markus Hoppe (Arthur Galiandin) enters his company Enrodigital early in the morning, he has no idea that this will be a short working day for him. Just half an hour later, Hoppe is dead. The case makes it difficult for Vera Lanz (Katharina Böhm) and her team - no witnesses, no murder weapon, no surveillance cameras. However, the list of Hoppe's enemies is long. The entrepreneur had ruined small investors in his company Stipwire with falsified balance sheets.

The Chicago branch of a large company is to close. The manager Clay (T.J.

But the party gets so out of hand that the whole of Chicago will remember it.
20:15, Tele 5, Johnny English - Now more than ever, agent comedy
A few years ago, MI-7 agent Johnny English (Rowan Atkinson) made a complete mess of a mission in Mozambique. The goofy secret service agent is so ashamed of this that he seeks refuge in a Tibetan monastery, where a Buddhist monk takes it upon himself to train him in Asian martial arts. But then Johnny is called back to the British secret service in London. Apparently, the Chinese Prime Minister is to be assassinated. English, of all people, has to hunt down the masterminds and prevent the attack.

But it's not just Simon who seems strange, Leonie's doctor Dr. Emma Holler (Effi Rabsilber) is also behaving strangely.
