“Nobody has to worry that I will somehow miss a state parliament session or another political appointment, because in reality I will only be filming in my spare time, on vacation,” Hold told the German Press Agency about his return to television.

He has a strong commitment and confidence that the broadcaster and production company will ensure that working in television does not mean any restrictions for the rest of his life. “The biggest challenge is juggling it with family, but it definitely won’t hurt anything else,” Hold says.

Sat.1 has been trying intensively to bring it back over the past few years after old episodes were shown on the program with increasing success, Hold said.
