Action:
Carnival time in the big city! Of course there must be found a masked ball. A masked ball in which a party guest as Simpsons Krusty clown appears. But then why is actually the clown from the movie "It" (1990) shown on the cover? At this point already begin the discrepancies that "The icy Clown" shape. Martin Hofstetter is responsible for the script to 190th episode, is to makes a lot and stirs the TKKG World neatly on. Of sensitivity for the series peculiarities lacks this, however. At no point germinates humor, very dark, it goes to the whole thing. Actually welcome approaches leave due to their wayward implementation ultimately a gloomy picture. Some examples: At first Tim is in the family Glockner guest, behave there, however, as he was the first time at the table. He acts suddenly uncertain and explained the history of his first name, whose background is known to all fans of the series at the latest result for 38 ('The White smugglers yacht! ") And therefore for commissioner Glockner really should be nothing new. This to explain the potential in-laws after 190 episodes, seems extremely implausible. Still to this, Gaby is over the entire season uncommonly ugly and bitchy. From her loving, warm side so there is nothing left. Another novelty: the audience get diary entries read by Gaby in which she lets her thoughts childlike love free rein. And then Tim, Karl and dumplings trudge me nothing you nothing in woman toilet while Karl little later loose and little thoughtful sayings about unemployed releases in order apparently to swing the moral cudgel. The fact that he does not back up its computer network adequately, contradicts the previous presentation of his character. Tim inspires dumplings then also for theft in their own homes on. In total, there are thus many taboos that commits Martin Hofstetter. TKKG loses its peculiarities when long-cherished characteristics of the four detectives are thrown completely overboard and TKKG rabidly goes to work. As a store burglary, blackmail, showdowns in deep snow as well as the theft of personal items do not help, because the mediocre plot is in view of these weaknesses under completely. The characters that are actually in the series focus, this radio play has virtually nothing in common. That one dressed as Superman dumplings and a startled rooster named Gaby mitermitteln, puts this disappointing chapter of TKKG history as only the crown on.
Speaker:
After navigating Wolfgang Kaven as narrator euphonious through all events. The Hamburger Speaker is always present when it is necessary. Renate Pichler-Grimm mimes a worried mother Margot Glockner, even if they too hysterical fears a kidnapping her daughter Gaby. Those who follow the radio drama series for some time, knows that this has happened already umpteen times in the radio drama series and is therefore surprised that Margot Glockner not acting more sensitive here. Wolfgang Draeger, who is fortunately still at the microphone to hear the commissioner Glockner, looks miserable helpless and inexperienced in his role, which is mainly due to the script, which can simply plump stand him. Terrifying are the performances of the four main speakers and especially Rhea Harders appearance as Gaby. Like the three other main characters Tim, Karl and dumplings (voiced by Sascha Draeger, Niki Nowotny and Manou Lubowski) loses it every now and then her nerves, even occurs around and is due to their diary now and then to the beast. Eingesprochen of Tim and Julia Kreuer Fölster, becoming part then two more nasty, rowdy teens, results, also on speaker pages a disappointing picture. The speakers must fill the roles ascribed to them in "The ice-cold Clown" after all, but the rancor, let the well Kreuer and Fölster any sympathy miss is extreme. Stephan Benson (listed in the second part under the anagram Hans-Benno plague) speaks the Gaunerduo angle Berger and delivers a decent performance from. In the remaining roles Soi Anifantis, Jona Mues and Jesse Grimm are heard.
Music and effects:
To continue listening to upload the music of "The icy Clown" not a. The recent standard music languishes listless to himself. After a few seconds often follows already the next scene, so stylistic elements anyway not large come to fruition. A negative peak represents the music of the carnival celebration in the boarding school, relentlessly dance music echoes through the boarding passes at the. Consequently, the charm of the eagle nest is not to bear. A disappointment in every aspect.
Conclusion:
Unfortunately, there are only approaches of "The icy Clown" that convince. This includes for example the idea of looking at the backgrounds of the four TKKG-sleuths closer, or the relatively autochthonous criminal offenses which Tim, Karl, dumplings and Gaby need to educate. Thus, it has, however, already then. In almost all respects, because there are also negative to report. Particularly serious does the failing type of actors noticeable, put all of them an aggressive attitude to the day. That in a TKKG radio play so much scuffled and gepöbelt and bolted to the characteristics of the four detectives, is a rarity and will not happen again in this form as soon hopefully. The listening experience is low due to inadequate representation of the characters.
