From 1980 on, Klocke appeared in various TV productions and shows, including the thriller "In den Todeskrallen des Dr. Do" (In the death claws of Dr. Do) for the ARD, a Saturday night show called "Flitterabend" on ARD and various appearances in RTL Samstag Nacht and 7 Tage, 7 Köpfe.
Klocke acted as Wachtmeister Dimpfelmoser in the 2006 movie "Räuber Hotzenplotz" (together with Armin Rohde) and in "Das Fliegende Klassenzimmer" (The flying classroom) in 2003.
Piet Klocke's trademark role is Professor Schmitt-Hindemith in his show "Musikstilarten im auslaufenden Jahrtausend" (Music styles of the ending Millennium). Here, he is accompanied by Saxophonist Simone Sonnenschein, acting as Fräulein Angelika Kleinknecht. Usually, Klocke is dressed up in eccentric ways and uses his scrubby red hair and lean figure to create an image of a helplessly nervous person. Additionally, he speaks in a very addleheaded way and doesn't finish his sentences most of the time. This is especially his trademark when doing radio plays.
