Berlin – The Sandman, Germany’s longest-serving character on children’s television, receives a lot of audience mail – and it is always answered. 500 painted pictures per year are sent to each of the three television stations that broadcast The Sandman. There were also around 800 emails and letters with different content. “The mail to the Sandman is always answered,” said a spokeswoman for rbb. There are many questions about the program, for example when the favorite series will run again, and a lot of praise.
