On Saturday, January 3, 2015, Swiss Radio and Television will air the final episode of the comedy series «Total Birgit» starring Birgit Steinegger. On Saturday, October 4, 2014, SRF 1 will broadcast «Total Birgit – The Big Night.».
After "Total Birgit - Der grosse Abend" on October 4, 2014, with three episodes from 1999, 2006 and 2007, and a new episode of "Total Birgit" on January 3, 2015, SRF is no longer producing the series. However, the SRF comedy lineup will be enriched with new launches - as it has been for the past three years. The first episode of "Total Birgit" reached an audience of millions right away in 1998, according to a statement. From then on, Birgit Steinegger shone as a versatile comedian and actress in countless roles. The stories of author Markus Köbeli with Mrs. Iseli & Co. were able to inspire a large family audience for over 15 years.
Birgit Steinegger will still be on screen at SRF after the end of "Total Birgit". Her characters and parodies will continue to appear in SRF's entertainment programs. Birgit Steinegger: "Total Birgit was a stroke of luck. I am infinitely grateful to SRF, everyone involved and the audience. The fact that the show has run so successfully for so long is something to be a little proud of." Rolf Tschäppät, Head of Comedy and Quiz: "Total Birgit was a unique success story and we thank Birgit Steinegger and her team for the many enjoyable TV moments. We hope that future comedy projects will also find such a loyal audience."
