Which German producer invited the Pythons to Germany in 1971?

Alfred Biolek invited the Pythons to Germany in 1971. The German entertainer and television producer had encountered the troupe while visiting Britain and was impressed by their inventive, absurd style of sketch comedy.

Biolek arranged to meet the Pythons at the BBC bar in London and persuaded them to consider making a German television project. The troupe then visited Munich to explore the idea and learn more about German culture and humour. Their work eventually became Monty Python's Fliegender Zirkus, a pair of specials produced with Westdeutscher Rundfunk.

Biolek was not merely the person who issued the invitation: he also produced the specials alongside translator Thomas Woitkewitsch. Because most of the Pythons did not speak German, Woitkewitsch prepared phonetic versions of the dialogue. The first programme was performed in German, while the second was recorded in English and dubbed into German. The other names in the options are German entertainers or filmmakers, but they were not the producer responsible for this invitation.
