Goedele Liekens

Do we still sing the praises of folly like Erasmus, or is it trendy again to be smart? And if so, who is the smartest? Who can talk about the medals won at the Olympic Games in London, but at the same time knows who Captain Haddock is? Who knows whether Lacan was a hair growth product or a psychoanalyst and can also program their own digital television? Who has déjà vu when leafing through the Encyclopedia Britannica and when reading the interviews with the new Miss Waregem Koerse? Who, oh who, is the smartest person in Flanders, Belgium, Europe, and by extension, the world? That is determined by a fierce battle between three fellow human beings. Every day, someone is eliminated, someone who may not be the smartest, but who is perhaps cherished in their family circle because of their many other talents. The others advance and are joined by a new challenger every day.

In Geub, the wife of fictional Philippe Geubels runs off with the charismatic Dutchman William Van Bronkhorst, who is thirty years her senior. In addition to being eligible for retirement, William is also an almost too sympathetic man who seems impossible to anger. However, that doesn't stop Philippe from regularly trying. Deeply humiliated and depressed, Flanders' most popular comedian turns to his mother Sonja, who supports him with advice and laundry baskets full of ironed clothes. Philippe's entourage also includes his regular technician Dikke Dirk and his best friend Pannenkoek. They do what they can to cheer Philippe up, but unfortunately, that's not much.

Eight celebrities couples venture on the perilous mud roads along deep chasms and ravines, extreme mountain passes and terrifying jungle routes in The Most Dangerous Roads.

De Lama's is a Dutch television show made by BNN and first aired on 26 June 2004. It is an adaptation of the Channel 4 show Whose Line is it Anyway?. Patrick Lodiers hosts the show, which contains both well-known and more obscure elements of theatresports. The most important of these is improvisation. De Lama's consist of the following comedians: Ruben Nicolai, Tijl Beckand, Ruben van der Meer and Jeroen van Koningsbrugge. Jandino Asporaat, Ad-Just Bouwman, Sara Kroos, Arie Koomen, Kristel Zweers and Martijn Oosterhuis are ex-Lama's. Other than in the British and American series, every episode of De Lama's features a Guest Llama, a well-known Dutch person who offers suggestions for games and always joins the regulars for one or two games at the end. At the end of 2006, regulars Sara Kroos and Arie Koomen left the show, leaving it with only three regular performers. To help alleviate this problem, broadcaster BNN organised a televised competition, Lama Gezocht, in order to find a new performer to round out the team. Ad-Just Bouwman eventually won this competition, and joined the Llamas. He, however, is no longer part of the troupe, reportedly because his artistic style didn't fit in with the other Llamas. Another recently 'llamafied' performer, Jandino Asporaat, left at around the same time to focus on his own theatre production, although rumour has it that his style clashed with the remaining three members as well. Jeroen van Koningsbrugge is the only new member to remain with the Llamas until the end.

What do you think the world will look like in five years? And how do you think you'll be doing in five years? These provocative questions form the basis of Over 5 Jaar (Over 5 Years), a program produced only every five years. Five years ago, Wim De Vilder visited nine well-known and interesting Flemish people at their homes or workplaces. And he asked them to look into the future, five years ahead. Not easy. The interviews from back then were hidden away for five years. No one could see them. A reason for the guests to really let their guard down. Now, Wim De Vilder confronts the guests with their own predictions.

A Dutch quiz show about both verbal and non-verbal communication.
