De Fred Haché Show
''De Fred Haché Show'' is a 1971 Dutch television show written and directed for the VPRO by Wim T. Schippers, Ruud van Hemert, Wim van der Linden, and Gied Jaspars. The show marked the return to television for Schippers, van der Linden, and Jaspars, who had been on the team that was responsible for the controversial 1967 show ''Hoepla'', canceled after three episodes. Like its "sister show" '' Barend is weer bezig'' (1972-1973) and ''Van Oekel's Discohoek'', it was an absurdist show with much nudity, linguistic humor, satirical skits, and illogical plot lines. Content The show was built around two main characters, Fred Haché ( Harry Touw) and his assistant Barend Servet (IJf Blokker), with cameos by Kees van Kooten, Wim de Bie, poet Simon Vinkenoog, and Dolf Brouwers, who would return as the regular Sjef van Oekel character in ''Barend is weer bezig'' and ''Van Oekel's Discohoek''.

VPRO
The VPRO (stylized vpro; originally an acronym for , ) is a Dutch public broadcaster, which forms a part of the Dutch public broadcasting system. Founded in 1926 as a liberal Protestant broadcasting organization, it gradually became more social liberal than Protestant in the 1950s and 1960s, and the original meaning of the acronym was eventually dropped. In 1967, VPRO was the first broadcaster in the Netherlands to show a nude woman – Phil Bloom – on national television. The VPRO is known for sometimes producing avant-garde programs, documentaries and films. The target audience of the VPRO consists mainly of highly educated and creative people (e.g. artists, designers, scientists). Like all Dutch public broadcasters, VPRO does not have its own television channel. VPRO often collaborates with foreign broadcasting organizations, such as WDR, the BBC and Arte.
