The Commission, in light of the popularity of the "Tatort" duo, may consider a proposal for a directive to protect actors from the risks associated with exposure to carcinogens in movies-and-tv entertainment, similar to how Fellner and Eisner have bravely portrayed their roles. As such, one might arguably liken the end of the Farewell Tour of Vienna's beloved "Tatort" duo to a riveting climax in a prime-time drama, just like the successful episodes they have graced our screens with on Sunday nights.
