Tijdtrigger

Tijdtrigger is a Dutch TV show that was aired on the television channel Veronica between 1965 and 1968. The show was a magazine-style program that focused on popular culture and social issues of the time. It was known for its irreverent and sometimes humorous approach to discussing topics that were considered taboo or unpopular.

The show was anchored by a sequence of presenters, including Joan vd Reijden, Ad Feitz and Rudi Carrell. These presenters would explore various themes, such as music, fashion, and politics, and would often interview notable figures and celebrities of the time.

Tijdtrigger was notable for its break from conventional television programming formats of the era. Its use of a live broadcast, direct-to-camera format and often irreverent commentary helped set the show apart from other TV programs of the time. The show's liberal use of in-vision interviews and music meant that viewers were able to see and hear live performances from various artists.

Tijdtrigger's run on Veronica was followed by a brief stint on the channel's competitor, ATV, between 1970 and 1972. Despite its relatively short duration, the show's legacy has endured as an important artifact of 1960s and 1970s Dutch popular culture. Tijdtrigger was remembered for its break with convention, both on-screen and behind the scenes, and its influence on the development of Dutch television programming.
