The animals play the main role in this series. The animals are the real main characters and the supporting roles are for the caretakers or zoo staff. Decisive for the program is the camera technology, which shows the animals' lives everywhere behind the scenes and out of sight of the audience. We experience the 24-hour feeling within the walls of the zoo, just like the animals themselves. The program is recorded at Ouwehands Zoo in Rhenen, the Netherlands.
De Avondetappe is a daily television program during the Tour de France that discusses the stage of that day. From 2003 to 2014, the presentation was in the hands of Mart Smeets. In 2015, the program was replaced by NOS Studio Tour, but since 2016 De Avondetappe has returned to the screen, now with presenters Dione de Graaff and Herman van der Zandt.
This series takes place at a cutting-edge city hospital. The first season follows Ella, a skilled obstetrician who leads a team of fellow medical professionals. Together, they must perform under immense pressure. The healthcare providers and their patients represent all walks of life and amidst their many triumphs and struggles, laughter and tears occur in equal measure. The thin line between one's personal life and one's professional life becomes increasingly blurred when working such long hours, making conflict unavoidable. But in the end, there is one thing that unites everyone on this parallel hospital-universe: the universal human experience of new life, fragile yet filled with hope and potential.
