That is why "Cash for Rares" continues despite the Corona crisis

Despite the Corona crisis, ZDF continues to show new episodes of the junk show "Bares for Rares". The reason for this is simple. It is unclear whether it will continue in the summer.

• Despite the corona virus, the ZDF shows new episodes of "Bares for Rares" .
• But in the summer, no new episodes could run.
• Moderator Horst Lichter comments on the corona virus on Facebook.

The corona crisis has far-reaching consequences and numerous companies are temporarily taking a break to curb the spread of the virus. For this reason, film and series productions have also stopped their work. However, the popular junk show "Bares for Rares" with Horst Lichter continues as usual. ZDF continues to show new episodes every afternoon from Monday to Friday from 3 p.m.

The reason for this is very simple: "Bares for Rares" * is not a live show. ZDF usually produces the episodes three months in advance. This means that the broadcaster can provide enough "cash for rare" replenishment by mid-July . But what about the time after that?

At the moment, Horst Lichter and Co. are no longer in front of the camera because the risk of infection with the corona virus * is too great for everyone involved. The ZDF explained the news portal TAG24. For the months after July , it is currently not clear whether filming can start again. Before these start again, the situation will be checked daily.

It is unlikely that filming will continue under special security measures despite the limitations of the Corona crisis. Those responsible take the situation extremely seriously. Horst Lichter recently published a self-made video on his official Facebook page. In it, he urges everyone to really stay at home and offer help to those who really need them.
