I seem to remember one programme called 'Non-stop Nonsens' or something like that - absolutely hilarious! Helga Feddersen appeared in a lot of scenes in his shows.

Correct, "Nonstop Nonsens" was a comedy episodes tv show which was really funny. There are two DVD box sets (I bought box No 1 many years ago).
Another famous comedy episodes were "Zelleriesalat & Gitterspeise" (a phonetical modification of Selleriesalat & Götterspeise). On YT there should be some clips. And his best cinema movies were "Didi der Doppelgänger" where he plays 2 characters (his best movie) followed by "Didi und die Rache der Enterbten" playing 7 characters. No idea if a dubbed version can bring the original humour to the audience, the original German audio is so great. E.g. in the Doppelgänger movie where the CEO guy instructs the dumb pub guy (both played by Didi) what he has to say to an employee (the CEO guy tries to replace himself with the identical looking "twin" in order to escape gangster attacks). So he instructs his "twin" like that:
"You're the boss. If someone comes to you and aks something, what does he do? He DISTURBS the boss! Tell him either 'this is only your opinion' or 'I don't care about your opinion', or 'write it down, Iater I'll pay attention to it'"
