The original series may not have much of subtext (except perhaps to modern audiences who [[ValuesDissonance interpret differently the boys' closeness]]), but The Three Investigators is still about three boys with a very, ''very'' deep friendship. The German Extended release and it's eager radio play cast who seems very willing to [[ShipperOnDeck play into certain themes]], it seems as though there is much context to be had, naturally.

** Despite still canonically being in a relationship with Kelly in the novels, their relationship has become extremely turbulent in recent years and apparently has become unstable enough that they break up quite frequently. And the reason why is because Peter just liked being with Jupiter and Bob or his surfing buddies than he did with her.

* In the radio play version of ''Der finstere Rivale'', Peter gives Jupiter a kiss in relief when he realizes that he hid the money to prevent it from being stolen. And much like the Bob kiss in ''Der verschollene Pilot'', this kiss did not happen in the book.

* In ''Die Schwingen des Unheils'', Peter is randomly kissed two times on each cheek by a guy in cupid costume, who steals a football from him with a heart on which he had gotten from a house they just visited. The mysterious cupid-man also says to him: "Omnia vincit amor" which means "love conquers all".

* [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff German]] AudioAdaptation of the Three Investigators is hugely popular in its own right, arguably even more so than the actual books. Due to its long running time (well over 30 years) the voice actors [[CharacterizationMarchesOn have developed sort of their own spin on the titular investigators]] and over the years it has deviated quite a bit from the original source material. All the while influence from the show started creeping into the newer books too, largely because the young authors of said books grew up with the show that is in turn based on the books they're now writing.

This is the tame version to boot--there is an outtake where 'Bob' outright dipped 'Peter' in a ''very'' passionate kiss and full body embrace. To put it in [[ShipperOnDeck Andreas Fröhlich aka Bob's]] words : "I think Jens (Peter) finally expected tongue action that night." [[YaoiFangirl Cue curious editor]] asking if he (Jens) got it. [[spoiler: No. But he did imply that he ''groped'' him.]]

* Due to some AdaptationDeviation, the radio play incarnation of Peter seems AmbiguouslyGay. The main reason is because his girlfriend, Kelly, has been completely written out and their relationship is pretty much nonexistent. But as she still plays a role in the novels, Bob has taken over her lines and their dates is instead replaced with hangouts with Jeffery.
** Despite still canonically being in a relationship with Kelly in the novels, their relationship has become extremely turbulent in recent years and apparently has become unstable enough that they break up quite frequently.

** Also in the radio play, Kelly has been written out and by now, their relationship seems practically nonexistent. Instead, all of Kelly's lines are given to Bob, with all the romantic subtext still intact.
* In Crimebusters, the two are constantly at odds with each other in a sort of SlapSlapKiss sort of way. Both are mad at each other that they're spending time away from the group. While they aren't as genuinely annoyed as they are in Crimebusters in the German extended release, they both still [[BelligerentSexualTension tease each other]], basically being modus operandi between [[RedOniBlueOni snappy Peter and easily annoyed Bob]], with Jupiter mostly giving a reaction akin to 'GetARoom you two'.
* In German, Peter and Bob have pretty cute pet names for each other: Bob will sometimes call Peter, 'Peterchen' (the '-chen' suffix is used to make a noun feel 'cuter') and Peter has called Bob both 'Babara' and 'Bobelle'.
* Multiple time during the series, when staying in hotels there will be a disproportionate number of beds because they're three people, which leads to Peter and Bob sharing a hotel bed.
* Sometimes, when Jeffery is mentioned, Bob seems to get really jealous that Peter is hanging out with him. In fact, Peter and Bob tend to hangout with each other a lot and in many instances, they are doing something together in the beginning of the story, especially since Jupiter doesn't really like outdoorsy stuff.
* Since Jupiter tends to have more controlled [[FreakOut Freak Outs]] because of his slight {{Tsundere}} tendencies, it does seem like when either Bob or Peter is in danger, the other one will seem ''extremely'' devastated.
* These two straight up ''kiss'' in the radio play of ''Der verschollene Pilot'' (The Missing Pilot) after [[DumbassHasAPoint Peter]] figures out the puzzle.
-->'''Peter''' : ...get it?
-->'''Bob''' : ''(excited)'' ''OF COURSE!'' Oh Pete, I could kiss you!
-->'''Peter''' : ''(embarrassed)'' Ehrm....not...not here... ''(They go on explaining the puzzle)''
-->'''Jupiter''': You solved it, Second!
-->'''Bob''' : ''(slightly breathy)'' Can I kiss you ''now''?
-->'''Peter''' : Go ahead! ''*cue smoochie sounds*''
** Another thing to note is that this kiss is ''completely absent'' in the novel. In that version, Bob still says the 'I could kiss you!' line, but Pete just answers with 'Uh, no thanks'. The scriptwriters ''intentionally'' made that change for the radio play. If that doesn't say ShipperOnSet, then what will?

** Straight up intensified in the radio play, where Kelly was eventually written out completely and dates with Kelly have turned into hangouts with Jeffery. The best part is that Peter's dialogue is mostly unchanged leading to him being ''very'' excited to hang out with him.
* Another note from André Marx, he has alluded to the relationship in the fanbook: ''Die Welt der drei Fragezeichen''.
* In the radio play version of ''Fußball-Phantom'', Peter calls Jeffery instead of Kelly.
* In ''Die Zeitreisende'', Jupiter and Peter have an exchange where Jupiter jokes about how he had thought that Peter was thinking that he was 'stealing Jeffery' from him.
