hahaha, i know it, it is hilarious. this is actually Belgian, not Dutch, and it is fake, in the sense that it is acted - but acted really convincingly and doesn't make it any less funny :)
thanks for sharing it, hadn't seen it in a while!

^ disclaimer, I only caught it the second time around - was on TV in the late 90's :)

Oh man that Thames TV intro, that was a blast from the past, never watched the show though.

Hi Wux,
Yeah trust me the best thing about the original was the intro.:)

Had a cheaper budget than Dr Who so looked even cheaper.:)

@jules: well, the thing is that Belgian is essentially the same language as Dutch, but with some alternate words thrown in. for example, what we call "surfing", they call "planksailing". shit like that. the easiest way to distinguish between Dutch and Belgian is by the accent; Belgian is like a Frenchman would speak Dutch - very soft, soft G's etc. so now you *do* know Belgian :D

^ Well, it is a very bad movie. But somewhere in the middle I remember a very nice cinematography. :)

isn't "Belgian Dutch" properly called Vlaams (Eng. Flemish)?

I'm told that Belgian French is also a bit weird (although they count to 100 more sensibly), and let's not get started on Walloon :)

Edited to add:
love the complexity of the language situation in Belgium according to wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_of_Belgium

and in my book the best low-budget high-fun sci-fi series is Red Dwarf

For the same reasons, Belgian French is Walloon.

yeah, you're right, I screwed up there, though Wikipedia suggests that there is some distinction between "French" as spoken in Hainaut and the Walloon of Brabant, but it doesn't seem all that great. I was remembering some very wierd Belgian language that a had a few web pages by some people trying to keep it going. Maybe it was Picard?

so much youtube (and other) video goodness is to be found here: http://watch.everythingisterrible.com/

These guys collect old VHS tapes and enhance their creepiness and badness by creative editing.

Their greatest masterpiece/discovery is "So Your Cat Wants a Massage": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnZhi5gaX8g
