Sirkuspelle Hermanni

There is no major continuing plot, instead the episodes consist of Hermanni talking about his life and daily events in a funny, clownish, somewhat childish way.

His comedic antics are further increased by the comically misproportioned props and his way of fumbling over difficult words.

Hermanni's telephone is a large, complex contraption with its own video communications screen.

Because the show predates actually feasible real-world video communication by more than a decade, this only adds to the comedy.

For most of the show, both Sylvia and Max remained unseen characters, with Hermanni only visiting their trailers where they were not present.
