The little ones showed the big ones: Small Talk - the prime-time family show, hosted by Birgit Lechtermann, ran a total of 16 times in 1997.

Three celebrities from politics, sport, music, radio and television (including Formula 1 stars Michael Schumacher and Heinz-Harald Frentzen, actor Ralf Bauer and boxing world champion Dariusz Michalzcewski) had to correctly assess the children’s answers and reactions in several rounds of the game and the final. For example, did little Lars (6 years old) know what a mummy is? Of course! “A very, very old person who lives in the desert and has broken all his bones.”

Empathy and wit were required if you wanted to score points as an adult. And one thing is clear: at

, the little ones put the adults’ knowledge of human nature to the test. At the end of the show, all the points were converted into money and donated to a good cause.
