TV review They take ‘VI Inside’ very seriously in The Hague, Sam said. A fantastic learning school, said Pieter Jan

The Netherlands is a country of traditions. Of norms and values. And now we can celebrate a value that I didn’t even know we had: 130 kilometers per hour driving on the highway. On three pieces of highway, I mean. Three pieces throughout the Netherlands. But God all -like, how fast we can drive there.

This fact kept Dutch television busy on Monday. Around the few places where we could now do a nice Vroem-Vroem, road users were asked what they thought of this development. Vox dolls responded to during the day Good morning Netherlands (WNL), it NOS Journal,,  » RTL News and News of the day (Talpa) and later in the evening, for example, René Froger was allowed Renze (RTL) On the Vox dolls out again RTL News respond (the voxfrogje). Some Dutch people were happy, others thought it was nonsense and René Froger thought that people could also keep driving 70 or 80 kilometers per hour if they preferred to do it; As long as they stayed on the right, of course, because otherwise it would be dangerous. Binked at the table. In this way a nice nuanced image about this Dutch value was created.

In any case, it was an educational TV day for people who now wonder what those Dutch norms, values ​​and traditions are. If I have understood correctly, the NTR produced programs such as Het Klokhuis and The Sinterklaasjournaal An important Dutch tradition, but not the NTR itself. I concluded that from the parliamentary debate with Minister Eppo Bruins, which could be followed on NPO politics. And from the words of Member of Parliament André Flach (SGP) in both Good morning Netherlands as News of the day – Also for him it was a long Monday – I concluded that religious freedom is an important Dutch tradition, but the right of mosques to reinforced prayer calls is not. So: Vroem-Vroem, Sinterklaasjournaalno NTR, religious freedom and no reinforced prayer calls. Anything else?

Water guns

Yes. Bee Eva (AVROTROS) was still felt an important media tradition: the us-know-on-our culture. Father Pieter Jan Hagens was a guest with son Sam Hagens (also called « baby » by Jinek). They had the same glance, only the corners of the corners and hair of Pieter Jan pointed a little and that of Sam up a bit. In terms of content, there were more differences: Pieter Jan had always worked for the public broadcaster, while his son had become known on SBS6. He had often been a guest at that for a while Today Inside. And although Pieter Jan had squeezed him at first when his son joined there, he soon started to realize that it is « a fantastic learning school » and « a very nice stage » to show what you can do. Sam and Jinek thought so too.

“The great thing was really that Vi At some point it was taken very seriously, « said Sam; » also by political The Hague. Certainly by this cabinet, but also by the previous one. It was very important what in it Vi It was said and especially what was said by Johan Derksen.  » Johan Derksen – You know that of that candle in the unconscious woman. Vi. In minute six the men watched images of women who played a game with water guns, after which René van der Gijp Gierde: « I sometimes spray them wetter. You don’t? » And that brings me to the last important tradition that I have noted on Monday evening. How did that one poem go again? Very old, very Dutch – ah yes, that was it:
