- A portrait of unconventional, working-class politician Jan Schaefer (1940-1994). Schaefer was a Member of Parliament for the Dutch Labour Party at the time, as well as a community activist in the impoverished Amsterdam district De Pijp, where he was committed to responsible large-scale urban renewal, better public housing and a solution for impending vacancy and demolition. The first part of a De Pijp-trilogy by the VPRO broadcasting corporation.
- As long as Holland is willing to pay for the war, Frederik Hendrik can continue the struggle. In 1648, the time has finally come for peace. The negotiations are conducted in Münster.
- Her bones must still lie somewhere under the Binnenhof: Jacoba van Beieren (1401-1436), Countess of Holland, Zeeland and Henegouwen, a woman of distinction. But her title and possession are disputed by imperious men. She fearlessly enters into battle at a time that we still know as that of the Hoekse and Kabeljauwse disputes. She has to give up a lot, but at the end of her life she gains something: love.
- Johan van Oldenbarnevelt (1547-1619) is considered the first great statesman of the Netherlands. For over thirty years, during the Eighty Years' War, he was a state attorney and grand pensionary of the States of Holland. Side by side with Maurits van Oranje, he fights for independence. But then there is a break in their relationship. Oldenbarnevelt finds his humiliating end on the scaffold in the Binnenhof. How did that happen?
- It is etched in the Dutch collective memory: the gruesome murder of Johan and Cornelis de Witt in the disaster year of 1672. Anyone who reconstructs the events surrounding the lynching party is still amazed at what happened in The Hague that 20th of August. How is it that two such respected regents, who have spent nearly twenty years serving the Republic, are so dishonored?
- At the end of the 18th century, the Netherlands fell under the spell of revolution. Inspired by the American Revolution and even before the French, the so-called patriots want to get rid of the corrupt administration of the House of Orange and pave the way for reforms. Their most powerful representative is Rutger Jan Schimmelpenninck (1761-1825). His great legal and political talent is recognized by the man who decided the fate of Europe at that time: Napoleon.
- Johan Rudolph Thorbecke (1798-1872) is the political example of Prime Minister Mark Rutte. Thorbecke is the man who in many ways lays the foundation for the new Netherlands. And not only because of its much-vaunted Constitution. Thorbecke grows up in a poor family and is being groomed for something big by his ambitious father. How big, even his father cannot imagine.
- He is one of the most interesting figures in Dutch political history: Pieter Jelles Troelstra (1860-1930). Frisian folk hero, poet, enthusiastic parliamentarian, but above all founder of social democracy in the Netherlands. In 1918, however, he made a crucial error of judgment: gripped by the revolutionary élan then prevailing in Europe, he proclaimed the revolution in the Netherlands as well.
- Pim Fortuyn (1948-2002) shook the political Netherlands to its foundations at the beginning of this century. His criticism of the multicultural society and his inimitable way of debating made him an icon. When he is murdered, the Netherlands is on fire. What is his legacy?
- In the thirteenth century, the Netherlands consists of several counties and duchies. The young count Floris V never knew his father, but has to succeed him. Will he be able to unite the Dutch nobility and avenge the death of his father?
- During World War II, crimes are committed before our eyes. Not only by Germans, but also by ourselves. We see how ordinary citizens try to live and survive in times of war and occupation. We ask ourselves: who was right and who was wrong?
- Provo member Irene van de Weetering shows her "witte wijvenplan". Politician Nico Verlaan talks about the strategy of the Farmers' Party (Boerenpartij). Ad Bouman takes Philip to the Radio Veronica studio for the beats of the sixties. Together with former rally driver Margriet Bot, Philip drives in the iconic car from this time; the DAF 600.
- In Friesland, the Nassau-Dietz family continued the Orange line after the death of king-stadholder William the Third. From Leeuwarden they try to emulate the name and fame of their Orange predecessors.
- The power of the Orange kings crumbled in the nineteenth century. A new constitution gives parliament more power at the expense of the king. Much to the frustration of King William III, who did everything he could to turn the tide.
- Morten takes on a new stylist, Evelien Bax, who spurs him on to make a grab for the top job. A young cleaner, Kelly de Nooijer, finds a discarded manuscript and senses its importance.
- Morten's political career is at risk when an experiment gets out of hand. Marijn manages to give the truth a deceptive spin. A phone call throws Mo's family life into disarray.
