"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.

Special broadcasts in which a special guest explains scenes from the Simplicity Alliance. From 1974 onwards, Kees van Kooten and Wim de Bie gave criticism and analysis of Dutch society in their own unique way for years. What do you know? The themes of then are also the themes of today.

They worked together for nearly forty years, and during that period, Kees van Kooten and Wim de Bie produced hundreds of hours of television. Initially with 'Hadimassa' and 'Het Gat van Nederland', and later with the 'Simplisties Verbond'. For years, they were the standard for humor and satire on television. They enriched the language with dozens of self-invented words – from *doemdenken* (doom thinking) to *regelneef* (control freak). They received the Silver Nipkow Disc twice. In 1985, they were awarded the Honorary Nipkow Disc for their entire television oeuvre. This documentary offers a unique glimpse into a wealth of archival material and visits and interviews Van Kooten and De Bie themselves.

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.)

A film crew whose members can't stand each other is trying to make a slapstick comedy in the style of Buster Keaton. It's about Boy, who runs a failing desert service station. Things get even worse when a business competitor arrives.

Of those things, yes, those things

Irony conceals jest behind seriousness, and satire conceals seriousness behind jest, and here you will find all these genres together: jest, satire, and irony (according to the Brown Spelling Book) about language and literature, readers and writers, doers and whiners. Profound and superficial. Licentious and literary.

Namens Van Kooten & De Bie heet ik u welkom bij deze twee uur durende dvd, waarop nooit eerder uitgebrachte satirische scènes zijn verzameld.

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.
