Buitenhof is a Dutch political interview programme produced by AVROTROS, BNNVARA, VPRO, and NPO and is broadcast on NPO 1 on Sunday afternoons, immediately after the short midday edition of NOS Journaal. The first edition of Buitenhof aired on 3 September 1995, when the interview programme Het Capitool succeeded. The programme takes its name from the Binnenhof, The Hague, which includes a place Buitenhof (lit. outer court).
Twan Huys, Rob Trip, and Pieter Jan Hagens are among the programme's alternating presenters, and it is broadcast from the Veemvloer in Amsterdam. The editor-in-chief is Corinne Hegeman.
The programme
Buitenhof is an influential programme, and is regularly visited by the nation's top politicians, policymakers, representatives of trade unions and employers' federations, scientists, and opinion makers. There is a strong emphasis on international events, and international guests regularly appear on the programme.
Incidents
Buitenhof itself made news in 2000, when visiting Vlaams Belang politician Filip Dewinter was smeared with chocolate, on camera, by anti-fascism activists.
The programme is also broadcast each Sunday on the international television station BVN.
