References in Popular Culture
Derrick was briefly referenced in Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis.
The series was parodied on the Norwegian comedy show Åpen Post. It was humoristically claimed that NRK had bought the legal rights to produce dubbed remakes of the series' original episodes after the show stopped airing in Germany. NRK could however not afford expensive remakes, leading to a very simplistic (and in the viewers eyes ridiculous) approach to the show, involving uninspired actors and a strong lack of action.
