About the program

The programme's concept consists of two famous guests meeting together with their old class for a fantastic reunion. The two guests, (and their classes) compete in different games, sports, and activities - always ending with a quiz at the end of the programme to decide a winner. Members of the teams provide anecdotes and memories of their former classmates, and what they did after the school bell had rung for the last time for them. Some of the contestants have been plumbers, school teachers, and dog trainers, and there are reminiscences about who was the best at different subjects.
