Barend is weer bezig

The television program was built around the character Barend Servet, played by IJf Blokker, who had first appeared in De Fred Haché Show in 1971. Other characters returning from the Haché Show were Sjef van Oekel (played by Dolf Brouwers) and Fred Haché (played by Harry Touw). In typical Schippers fashion, the program, like its predecessor, derived its comedic effects from crude humor, silly costumes or nudity, chaos, and absurdism; it combined the trivial and banal with controversial content. There were four episodes and a Christmas special, "Waar heb dat nou voor nodig?". For the Christmas special, two songs were written by Wim T. Schippers and Clous van Mechelen for Dolf Brouwers: "Vette jus" and "Juliana onze vorstin".

This production, originally released in 1972, has captivated audiences with its unique storytelling. As a Miniseries series, it brings a fresh perspective to the Comedy genre, maintaining a strong viewer rating of 0.0 across its 1 season.
