I now know three people who Who is the mole (AvroTros) participated. The first was so worried about who the mole might be that he voluntarily dropped out after three sleepless nights. The second had a completely different tactic: he sat back and did little or nothing. The third came home with his eyes narrowed dreamily, and for weeks he suffered from homesickness for Molland, where life was exciting and warm and beautiful.
Even after 22 years Who is the mole lost little of its magic. The first episode, on New Year’s Day (no less than 3.1 million viewers) was set in the Castle of Rozafa at the foot of the Albanian Alps. The eleven participants played some games with locks and hourglasses, had to fill out a questionnaire, and pleaded why they weren’t the secret saboteur. For almost half of the broadcast they were listening to a slow-talking game master. Nothing special really.
But the program is made in such a way that you get the feeling of watching the most important game in the world, and at the same time a bloody thrilling whodunit full of hidden clues, in which the viewer can lose himself completely. Why does Welmoed suddenly have a fan in her hand? Why did Thomas screw up that calculation by moving yellow slats against the rules? And why do we see a portrait of the Albanian king Zog hanging behind Rik? (By the way, he always took his mother with him when he left home, because he was afraid of an attack.)
Above all, you see a group of very nice people on a dream vacation, with whom many viewers would love to join, to dine in the open air at sunset, on a mountain plateau.
Really happened
The historical youth series Welcome to… van Niek Barendsen has also been around for years, always follows the same strict pattern, and remains irresistible just as much. the new season,Welcome to the Middle Ages (NTR), promises to be another highlight. The program has the format of a talk show, in which Dorine Goudsmit (Plien van Bennekom) receives historical figures: “My guest has been dead since the year 754, but he makes an exception especially for us, here is Boniface!” Within this framework we are presented with sketches in which the historical information is elegantly packaged, indicated by a raised sign with ‘Really happened’. For example, we see missionary Boniface fanatically chopping down a sacred oak (“Hak! Hakhakhakhakhak!”) to convert the Germans to Christianity, and how Charlemagne is crowned emperor at a surprise party.
In the first episode, on Sunday on TV, there are witty references to Sinterklaas. For example, Boniface looks like the aggressive brother of the Saint, and early medieval children tell about the celebration of the midwinter festival, in which the supreme god Wodan comes by on a gray (“Amerigo? Ozosnel?” “No Sleipnir!”) and two black… crows. The children sing: “Wodan, Wodan, bonne bonne bonne”. But the best part is that Sinterklaas (Stefan de Walle) himself participates. This time he’s a Viking with a braid in his beard, who as an influencer gives a slick tutorial on personal care. He also shows how the Vikings went into battle naked.
(There is a competition associated with this Zap: guess who the three participants from the first paragraph are. A cuddly toy of a mole will be raffled among the good entrants.)
