Pauw & Witteman is a Dutch late-night talk show, hosted by Jeroen Pauw en Paul Witteman. It is generally focused on current affairs and politics. It is broadcast every weekday at 11 pm on Nederland 1. It is produced by Dutch public broadcasters NPS and VARA.

"Keek op de week" was a satirical television program by the duo Kees van Kooten and Wim de Bie. In it, Van Kooten and De Bie discussed current events, usually through sketches featuring their various characters. They often held "conversations" with these characters via a screen, which in reality was just a blue screen. They also provided commentary on the news in a columnist-like style. The rug beater logo of Van Kooten and De Bie's "Simplisties Verbond" was still present, though placed modestly in the background. The song "Duke of Iron" by saxophonist Sonny Rollins served as the show's theme music.

Warning - Now that we no longer view men and women as objects of desire, thank God, it is good to remember how unrestrained things were in the Netherlands long before the restoration of Christian norms and values in 2007/2008. In twenty-seven scenes, which have never before been released on video or DVD—and which you have therefore never seen, not even once on VPRO television—the boundaries of sexual ethics and the resilience of our physical relationships are explored by Walter de Rochebrune and De Vieze Man, Carla and Frank van Putten, Ralph and Thea Ternauw, Jet and Koosje Veenendaal, F. Jacobse and Tedje van Es, Dirk, Koos Koets, Koot and Bie, and about twenty-five other reprehensible, white Dutch people. And this for over a hundred minutes.

The brothers Gé and Arie Temnes return to the home where they used to live as teenagers during WWII. Arie talks about the role that he played in the resistance movement.

Which includes the parody of the seventies craze of the sensitivity training, the simplistiese on culture, the stencil war, the slide with the clowns. And of course many other highlights from the first carpet-beater-years. Additional seen on this DVD: the four cinema advertising films that Lord Koot and Lord Bie made to promote the Postgiro. (The material on part 10 was aired between 1974 and 1976 by the VPRO television.)

Of those things, yes, those things
