Man over woord (2011-2012)

EndedScripted showComedy

In Man over woord, Pieter Embrechts does not look for the rules, but for the beauty and secrets of our language. Why do the West-Flemish have such a hard time with the difference between g and h? How many words does a person know and where do we get them? In these busy, busy times, do we also talk faster than in the past, and do Limburgers really speak slower than the other Flemish people? In his quest, Pieter meets ordinary people and top experts, and he discovers the craziest things. That the most difficult sentence you can make in Dutch only counts three words. That Ghent really is as unique as Ghent's thinking. What an unlikely world trip some words made before they ended up in our language.

Saint-Pierre

After Royal Newfoundland Constabulary Inspector Donny "Fitz" Fitzpatrick digs too deeply into a local politician's nefarious activity, he is exiled to work in Saint-Pierre et Miquelon (the French Territory nestled in the Atlantic Ocean just off the coast of Newfoundland). Fitz's arrival disrupts the life of Deputy Chief Geneviève "Arch" Archambault, a Parisian transplant who is in Saint-Pierre for her own intriguing reasons. 

As if by fate, these two seasoned officers — with very different policing skills and approaches — are forced together to solve unique and exciting crimes. Although the islands seem like a quaint tourist destination, the idyllic façade conceals the worst kind of criminal activity which tend to wash up on its beautiful shores. At first at odds and suspicious of each other, Arch and Fitz soon discover that they are better together... a veritable crime-fighting force.
