Enquêtebureau

Enquêtebureau

Do you pee in the shower? Have you ever cheated on an exam? What is your favorite deep-fried snack? And do you prefer wine over beer? Not too serious topics, but we can still discuss them for hours. We will find out Flanders' answers to these and many more questions in the brand new humorous panel show Enquêtebureau with host Steven Van Herreweghe. Two teams of three well-known Flemish people compete against each other with the aim of testing their knowledge about the behavior and habits of the Flemish. In the meantime, the BVs themselves expose their souls in witty and often surprising anecdotes and revelations. The result: a panel show that holds up a mirror to the viewer at home. Because what's more fun than having a good laugh at ourselves?

Ciao Darwin

Ciao Darwin

Ciao Darwin is a variety game show format from Italy sold under licence to several countries, including Romania, Hungary, Poland, Serbia, Canada, USA, China and Greece. There are two competing teams of about 50 people each, usually made up of people who fit certain opposing stereotypes. In each game two members of the audience are selected at random, one from each team, indicated by a light in front of them which remains illuminated when all the other team members' lights have gone off. The games involve contestants competing in acts of bravery, style and talent, some of which are designed to humiliate the contestants, especially an assault course which was introduced with the Italian version in 2010, and the Finale which is a water tank game.
