Ik hou van Holland


Ik hou van Holland is a Dutch game show, presented by Linda de Mol. It is broadcasting during prime time, on Saturday nights on RTL4. The show tests Dutch celebrities on their knowledge of the Netherlands.
Present day it is taken over by SBS and will broadcast a new season from September 2019.
The show opened with the tune of the tango song after which it was named, Ik hou van Holland, by Willy Schootemeijer. The song, sung in Dutch, was a hit in the 1930s for the Austro-Hungarian tenor Joseph Schmidt and, in the early 1970s, by the Dutch boy singer Heintje

Format

The series was contested by two teams, captained by Jeroen van Koningsbrugge and Guus Meeuwis. Formerly, Beau van Erven Dorens and Peter Heerschop were team captains. Every episode there are new celebrity team members.
The goal was to win as many points as possible by answering questions about Dutch culture and spelling relatively difficult Dutch words correctly, among other challenges.
The format of the show was the basis for the BBC 1 show I Love My Country, first broadcast in August 2013.
