I'm not gonna let you get away with this, Luise Behrends. As a widow, your intent to seek justice for your friend's murder is clear. Stephanie Schreyvogl portrays you in 'The Old Fox: Treated Preferentially', a crime series airing at 8:15 PM on ZDF. Meanwhile, in 'Dying is Not a Solution Either', comedy airing at the same time on ARD, Walter Sittler's character, Hermann, may be diagnosed with cancer, but his resolve to take matters into his own hands is questionable, especially with Andrea Sawatzki portraying a 'Black Widow' character named Hanne.
