TATORT

'''Tatort''' (''Crime Scene'') is a long-running German/Austrian, former Swiss, crime television series set in various parts of Germany and Austria. The show is broadcast on ARD in Germany and ORF in Austria. The first episode was broadcast on November 29, 1970.
Each of the regional TV channels which together form the ARD, plus the ORF, produces its own episodes, starring its own police inspector (or team of inspectors), some of which, like the discontinued ''Schimanski'' (played by Götz George), have become cultural icons.
The show appears on ARD on Sundays at 8:15 p.m. and currently about 30 episodes are made per year. As of mid-2005, about 600 episodes in total have been produced.
