Original question by @Justathroughdaway@lemmy.world

Ask any Australian/New Zealander who grew up in the late 2000s or early 2010s what they’re favourite show was and they’ll probably say something by Chris Lilley. In particular Summer Highs High or Jonah From Tonga. I used to love watching these shows when I was younger and Lilley is such a great actor. To this day there still quoted in schools all over NZ and Australia.

    Alfred J. Kwak was actually a co-production of VARA (NL), ZDF (DE), TV Tokyo (JP) and TVE (ES). Lots of people involved ;).

    Didn’t know those German series were popular across the border! Very interesting. And hey, learning a language is never a bad thing, I guess. Sometimes I wish the Germans wouldn’t dub everything.

      I didn’t know it was a co-production, but I knew it was Herman van Veen! That guy had the weirdest kids show ever: “Daar komen de Clowns” (Here come the clowns) about a group of clowns flying through space in a giant top hat.
