It's Loriot's birthday. Reason enough to show him as he really is. Evelyn Hamann interviews him in the TV studio where he always records his show. A lot of guests are invited, mostly people who played in Loriot's show, and a big surprise is announced for the end. - This fake celebration shows Loriot as a bitter old man, his guests as humorless bourgeois and Evelyn Hamann as an overtaxed presenter who can't save the show.

TV special that celebrated the comedian and filmmaker Vicco von Bülow’s 65th birthday. The special is a mix of retrospective and tribute to his incredible body of work, filled with humorous moments, interviews, and highlights from his career.

Loriot is a classic German comedy television series produced by Radio Bremen from 1976 to 1978. Each of the six episodes (numbered with Roman numerals I–VI) featured sketches and cartoons by and with Loriot . Some of these achieved cult status. In the 1990s, the short films were re-edited into 14 programs of 25 minutes each, supplemented by works from other television programs featuring Loriot. In October 2007, the six episodes were released in largely their original order and length on the DVD box set Loriot – The Complete Television Edition .
