Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe musical interludes, which usually had little to do with the story lines, were originally to be performed by a children's choir. However, songwriters Annie M.G. Schmidt & Harry Bannink insisted the actors sing the songs themselves. This resulted in several hit songs, 4 LPs, 2 EPs, 12 singles and numerous compilations.

Featured review
I seem to be first to write on this classic Dutch TV-series. Although it was meant for children, many adults liked it too. And actually it is remarkable that I can still remember so much of it. But the stories and the songs. I was only between the age of 4 and 6 when it was broadcasted. However I think it has left a deep impression on people of my generation. A year ago I met some old friends of mine and they could all remember it.
It is a pity that it was only shown in the Netherlands, because for me it was one the best TV-series ever. And the rest of the world is never going to see it, as most of the tapes have been deleted afterwards. Those tapes were expensive and they didn't consider something for eternity. Luckily the outdoor scenes were filmed on classic film material you can find some of the wonderful songs on Youtube.
A few years ago there has been a motion picture based on the series, but as I don't live in the Netherlands anymore I have not seen it. I don't know if it is comparable with the TV-series, but I am glad I still have my memories.
