Willy's en Marjetten
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Willy's en Marjetten is a Flemish comedy TV series created by Neveneffecten and Bart De Pauw. The first season aired on Één in 2006. The program was produced by Woestijnvis.
Each episode takes the form of a broadcast made by a fictional pirate television station, manned by a small number of VJ's who introduce various sketches disguised as news or human interest reports. The style of both the program and it's official website is deliberately amateurish. Most episodes involve a framing story which intertwines with certain sketches.
Originally, a 13-episode series was planned. However, shortly before the end of 2006 the VRT announced that the final two episodes would not air and that the eleventh episode (broadcast 31/12) would be a clip show.
The final episode included some new material, showing the main cast, now homeless, trying to survive a cold winter night out on the street. As the episode progressed, their condition deteriorated due to malnutrition and hypothermia. At the episode's end, a final shot showed the main characters had frozen to death.
