In addition, episodes in which actors with a criminal record appear have also been deleted. This concerns, for example, an episode with a guest role for Guy Van Sande, who has been convicted of the possession, production and distribution of child pornography. David Verbeeck also appeared in the popular series in the past. He was also convicted in 2016 for possession of child pornography.

Episodes with the recently convicted Jan Van Hecke, for example, can still be seen on the streaming platform of the public broadcaster.

The VRT has recently set up a committee that screens every program for misplaced comments. “We hold old programs up to the light,” says spokesman Jan Sulmont in The newspapaer. “If it turns out that language, situations, images or jokes can appear inappropriate in the current zeitgeist or no longer fit in today’s society, that can be a reason to place them ‘under embargo’ in our archive: they will then not be more broadcast or put online.”
