Every evening at 6:45 p.m. sharp, a prominent guest takes a seat on the red sofa—and DAS! provides daily updates on what's hot in the north.

The series ruthlessly exposes the secrets of industrial production. Whether it's pork in chicken sausage, imitation cheese in kebabs, or glue in ham—host Kim Adler wants to know from producers, manufacturers, and association representatives what's really in our food. The 31-year-old reporter shows how many small pieces of meat are turned into a whole with the "Pimp Your Meat" campaign in a shopping center in North Rhine-Westphalia. And finally, he tries to sell his homemade "Mega Cordon Bleu Sausage" with 14 additives at the largest food fair, Anuga.

"40 Years of Formula One" revives the music and zeitgeist of the wild 80s. Presenters Peter Illmann, Ingolf Lück and Kai Böcking deliver the most successful songs from the era, show milestones from the first music video era and present the biggest upsets and music scandals of the decade: from Michael Jackson, whose cult video for "Thriller" was only allowed to be broadcast after 10 pm, to the groundbreaking "Sledgehammer" by Peter Gabriel.
