Herr K. and Dr. Blau

Herr K. and Dr. Blau were recurring characters in live-action film inserts on Sesamstrasse beginning in the 1970s and continuing into the early 1980s. The series centered on the eccentric Herr K. (with his vaguely Groucho Marx-style glasses and moustache combination) and his friend and neighbor Dr. Florentin Blau. The two would play sports together (such as golf and softball), traveled to Spain, and went camping together. 
Whenever Herr K. had trouble with a new appliance or device, Dr. Blau would usually become involved in the end. Still, they remained friends, even singing about it in "Nachbarschaftssong." Other songs with the pair focused on topics such as eyeglasses or the countries of the world. In the song "Das Papageinlied," Herr K petsits for Dr. Blau's parrot, Cora "the wonder bird."
Herr K. sometimes had solo misadventures, while Dr. Blau also appeared occasionally in segments featuring Hans Heinrich (who, like Herr K., was played by Peter Bauer).
The segments were written and directed by Christoph Busse.
