" There ain't no Inspector" (Inspektor gibts kan..)

Kottan is cult. To describe Kottan to someone is difficult. Kottan represents the dry viennese humor and the special form of carelessness which was the ideal form of being. In the late Seventies, early Eighties . It's an exquisite Form of "Trash-Comedy", that starts low, but reaches unknown height later.

The Kottan-Twelve-Tone-Music

Most episodes are composed of the following twelve elements in different Variations.

• [01] Kottan starts out as a Mr.NiceGuy in an unimpressing setting ("nobody has ever fired a shot at me..") and ends up as a suspended Cop, wearing an Al-Capone-Outfit.
• [02] Schremser has one leg only, and is supposed to be an indoor policeman. Nevertheless does he probably have the most sucessful rating at chasing down suspects: He throws his crutches and uses them for fierce fencing duels.
• [03] Schrammel and his intellectual capacities are rather limited. He's the dumb-guy-element no serie can afford to leave out.
• [04] Pilch is the President of the Police, and therefor Kottans boss. Always trying in vain to gain sucess, favor and Mrs. Kottan.
• [05] Attempdes Asassinations of Kottan from his favourite enemies are on every days agenda. Carbombs, poisoned Candy or a really mean Sex-Movie-in-the-Freezer-Truck-Trap, just to name a few. Always kills the wrong one, for sure.
• [06] Drballa, occupation Hobo. Whenever he appears, we know: the dead victim is just about to be found.
• [07] Interaction Today a vision for the near Future, normal at Kottan: They have Dialogs with the News-Lady in the TV. And several times do the actors turn the audience to explain.s
• [08] Playback Again and again, Kottan appears in shady nightclubs as an Entertainer, either with his colleages or with his wife. He doesn't really sing by himself, of course.
• [09] Frau Kottan is played continuously by Bibiana Zeller, even although the actor for Kottan changed thrice. This means: Three different wedding-photos on the mantelpiece. In general, there's trouble in the air between Mr and Mrs Kottan. One reason for this is quite often ....
• [10] Girlfriend Elvira She's a former prostitute, and still is "in the line of duty" for special opportunities. She's the "sex-component" of the series, without ever really showing skin. A undefined, but suggestedly close relationship to Kottan is at hand.
• [11] Flexible Actor The episodes are all mostly with the same actors, but they're playing changing parts. Yesterday suspected, today a waiter, tomorrow a victim and the murderer for the day after that.
• [12] Crime is only a supporting role. It's just supporting the punch-lines.
