Flikken

Flikken (Dutch-Flemish slang for "Cops") is a popular Flemish-Belgian TV series about a police-department located in Ghent. The show started in 1999 and is still being produced. In the series, police officers solve various crimes, which are shown as realistically as possible. It is produced by the VRT and broadcast on Belgian public channel één and TROS in The Netherlands. It is expected that the show won't continue after spring 2009. Flikken is very popular in Belgium and The Netherlands. The show has very high ratings.

Every year the VRT organises the Flikkendag ("Copsday"), a family day where the public can meet the actors of the show. There are many games, demonstrations of the real police and other safety organisations and performances of singers (including some of the actors on the show). The last Flikkendag is planned on the 28th of september 2008.

In the Netherlands, a Dutch version of the program, called Flikken Maastricht is in production.
