    Conquering Europe

    This serie is absolute entertainment like all the Bassie and Adriaan-adventures.

    In this adventure we see the villains B-100 and Handy Harry for the first time.

    Bassie and Adriaan travel all over Europe to find secret packages.

    Great fun !

    kids will love this

    This is a great movie/episode of Bassie en Adriaan. When I was younger I always loved this particular one, it was thrilling for me then. Why I don't know, perhaps because it has the Halloween theme music all the time during this movie/episode. Well I would advise you to see this when it is on the television even if you aren't a kid anymore.

    The BEST EVER

    Oh yes, you won't get any better than this.

    Superb adventure and fun in Greece with the dutch masters of children comedy.

    Paul van Gorcum steals the show with a brilliant appearance as the villain "the Baron".

    The best serie I have ever seen.

    An absolute must for every Dutch kid.

    B & A visit the States

    In this episode of B&A they visit the United States of America.

    You get a beautiful impression of all the nice places in the country, like New York, San Francisco, Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon.

    Of course the villains Baron, B100 en Handige Harry are also in the USA to try to catch B&A with a big bomb.

    This was to be the last adventure of these Dutch comedians and it is certainly one of the best.

    A goodbye to two legendary TV- icons of the Netherlands!

    A Timeless Children's Classic, Deserving of 10/10

    Bassie en Adriaan is a series that I hold close to my heart, and it unquestionably deserves a 10/10 rating. In my view, it stands as one of the greatest children's series ever created. Having watched it over 150 times, its charm and appeal never seem to fade, even as an adult. The series manages to strike a perfect balance between humor, adventure, and educational content, making it enjoyable for viewers of all ages.

    What's particularly remarkable about Bassie en Adriaan is its enduring appeal. Unlike many children's shows that lose their magic as one grows older, this series maintains its allure, proving to be just as entertaining for adults as it is for kids. It's a testament to the quality of the writing and the universal themes it explores.

    My favorite part of the series is 'Reis door Europa' (Journey through Europe). This segment stands out for its adventurous spirit and the way it introduces young viewers to different cultures and landmarks across Europe. It's both fun and educational, a combination that's rare to find in children's programming.

    It's a shame that Bassie en Adriaan doesn't receive as much recognition today as it did in the past. This series is a gem from a bygone era, one that deserves to be celebrated and remembered for its significant contribution to children's entertainment.

    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      (series 4) Many of Bassie's dream sequences were cut from the final edit of the series, due to many problems on the set.
    • Goofs
      Inspecteur Jeroen van der Steen aka The Captain speaks common Dutch without a local accent while being under hypnosis, but has a very strong Flemish accent when waking up.
    • Crazy credits
      The show's leader contains several scenes which were only shot for the leader, in order to make the viewer curious about the story, while never appearing in the series itself.
    • Alternate versions
      In the mid-1980s, there were two episodes missing, episode 2 and 7 of season 2. So Aad van Toor re-edited the series, to make the story work without those episodes. All reruns, videos and DVDs until 2004 are missing about three episodes because of this. (Aad had to delete about one episode of material to remove any references to the missing episodes.) One of the two missing episodes was rediscovered in 2004 (episode 2). It was put back in again, together with some of the material referring to it.
