Many young people who only know Martine Bijl from her role in the comedy series Het Zonnetje In Huis, do not realize the extent of her long and versatile career as an actress, singer, writer and grand artist. The 3 DVD box with highlights from television and theater shows will provide a lot of viewing pleasure for them and old fans. Bijl selected the fragments herself, precisely because she is quite
… critical of herself. Fortunately, she gradually started to enjoy it. Bijl started in 1965 as a singer, made many records and performed in a series of his own TV programs. In the Flemish TV program Tienerklanken, recorded in 1966, we see an eighteen-year-old Martine singing songs like Ik Zou Wel Eens Willen Weten and 't Bloemendaalse Bos with a beautiful voice. Among the best clips from television shows, broadcast between 1975 and 1982, guest appearances by Johnny Kraaijkamp Sr., Rijk de Gooijer and Willem Ruis. Two DVDs contain the funniest and most moving excerpts from her four one-woman theater shows Martine (1985), Bijl (1988), Martine Bijl (1989) and Mevrouw Bijl (1991). And last but not least: her performances in Hak commercials. A nice compilation of sketches and many beautiful songs that give a good impression of this intelligent and humorous woman.
