- Several versions of this sketch were recorded/broadcast or released on DVD/video:
- the original B&W version with an audience as produced by Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR) in 1963. 18 minutes
- a changed B&W version where an english spelling error in the intro narration was digitally removed. Shown on German TV since the end of the 90s.
- a changed B&W version without the audience sound. Shown by Danish TV who also omit the introductory narration, bringing the sketch to a 14 minutes runtime
- a computer colorized version produced by the NDR in 1999. Due to massive protest from fans this version is almost never shown
- an alternative B&W version as produced by Swiss TV. This version has no intro narration and misses some gags. This version can be recognized by the much simpler set decoration (no table cloth, smaller/simpler pictures on the walls, much smaller stairs). Released on DVD in Germany. Runtime 11 minutes. Has been shown on Swiss television since 1989 on New Years Eve.
