Not familiar with that one either. We had a public broadcaster, called
VPRO, who did very innovative and provocative stuff in the 60's and 70's
They were the first one to show a naked woman, full frontal. The upheaval
that caused. "Janet-gate" is for whimps! ;-)
Anyway, later on they started to show some fabulous documentary work (Frans
Bromet, old buddy of Jan de Bont), and still do quite nice stuff. They are
one of the fews (if not the only one) here on national tv which keep
inventing new programs, while the rest makes bland copies of American
stuff, if not showing the originals.
