“Good morning, Jos.” “Good morning this morning, Edgar and Miss Jannie.” “Good morning, gentlemen of the good life.”
Jiskefet* was an absurdistic series which ran from 1990 to 2005 on the Dutch VPRO television channel, and was written by Kees Prins, Michiel Romeyn and Herman Koch*. The programme was made up of sketches and improvisations. One of the regular features was Debiteuren Crediteuren [Debtors Creditors], a spoof of office life. Jos, Edgar, colleague Storm and obese secretary Miss Jannie work in accounting and get through the day with off-the-wall humour. With recurring topics: sandwich spreads, recent events at the tram stop and the coffee break with Miss Jannie. If you have missed your vocation as an office clerk, or simply like humour of the more offbeat kind, do not miss the Debiteuren Crediteuren Marathon!* Unadulterated fun!
*Jiskefet is Frisian for "litter bin".
* Yes, Herman Koch, the Herman Koch, successful author who wrote Het Diner en Zomerhuis met zwembad*.
