Biolek accepts German Television Award
TV host Alfred Biolek accepted the German Television Award on Saturday evening, unlike Marcel Reich-Ranicki did last year
Television presenter Alfred Biolek accepted the German Television Prize on Saturday evening, unlike Marcel Reich-Ranicki last year. "Dear Marcel Reich-Ranicki, I ask for your understanding, I accept the prize," said the 75-year-old, according to SDA. Reich-Ranicki had turned down the award a year ago, and in an angry speech, he railed against the event and television. There are many things he does not like about television, Biolek now explained. But he stands by this medium.
