The previous episodes were a chore to get through, except possibly for 'Sein Erstes Rendezvous', which explores the relationship between the Mädler sisters. This one is a remake of Günter Stahnke's 1973 teleplay 'Reizende Ferien', and it has the strongest plot so far.
Joachim Kaps' Hein Kruse is a welcome addition to the cast. Kaps is warm and approachable, and his character Hein is an outsider from the family unit, even more so than Uwe, so his story is from an outside perspective.
The plot is a retread, so it has been tried and tested, but Hein will give the series the life it needs.
Michele Marian's Elke Plonk is very different from Helga Piur's Claudia Zimmerman, as is Helmut Schreiber's Walter Plonk is from Walter Richter-Reinick's Albert Zimmerman. Elke is not as childish as Claudia, while Walter is more mellow than Albert.
I definitely prefer Albert Zimmerman to Walter Plonk. Albert is much more animated than Walter, and I think he's funnier.
Herbert Köfer reprises his role and he really drags down the episode. It would have been more interesting to have a new character, rather than the old neighbor.
