Big Dating - Season 1

Season 1

The app developer Samuel has developed an algorithm to find his perfect partner. In a stolen data set, he comes across Lina, a waitress who is as chaotic as she is mysterious. Sam and Lina are at the center of the family comedy series Big Dating. App developer Samuel (Ole Fischer) no longer trusts his own feelings. Instead, he wants to find the perfect woman for him with the help of an algorithm he developed himself. His ideal partner is - surprisingly - Lina (Olga von Luckwald), a singing waitress with a penchant for spontaneous actions. Samuel throws himself head over heels into the new relationship. Supported by his two best friends Inga (Anna Schimrigk) and Henner (Leon Ullrich), who are about to become parents, Sam manages to win Lina over. But the mysterious algorithm has long since begun to change everyone's life.

The Repair Shop

The Repair Shop is a workshop of dreams, where broken or damaged cherished family heirlooms are brought back to life.

Furniture restorers, horologists, metal workers, ceramicists, upholsterers and all manner of skilled craftsmen and women have been brought together to work in one extraordinary space, restoring much-loved possessions to their former glory.

Many of these items have incredible stories behind them and a unique place in history: from an accordion played in the Blitz by a woman who is now in her 90s, to a beautifully crafted clock made by a father who was completely blind; a Pinball machine that is currently being used as a kitchen counter, and a Davenport desk with its trademark fake drawers which fooled burglars - and their crowbar.

The Repair Shop is an antidote to our throwaway culture and shines a light on the wonderful treasures to be found in homes across the country.
