TV SERIES 1988 38 SEASONS

Overview

This VPRO's ‘summer classic’ is based on an equally simple and refreshing idea that originated in 1988: When during the summer most of the channels are showing reruns, ask interesting people people to curate their ‘favorite television evening’ and let them clarify the fragments in a long-form interview/conversation. The programme was first aired in 1988. Each episode takes up an entire Sunday evening, lasting typically three hours. It consists of an in-depth studio interview with a notable Dutch, Belgian or other Dutch-speaking foreigner, interspersed with cinema or television footage selected by the guest, which is subsequently discussed. Guests include writers, scientists, television personalities, politicians or business people.

This production, originally released in 1988, has captivated audiences with its unique storytelling. As a Talk Show series, it brings a fresh perspective to the Talk, Reality genre, maintaining a strong viewer rating of 0.0 across its 38 seasons.
