The Last 48 Hours
What do famous Flemish people do when they know they will die in two days? Are they afraid of death? How do they want to die? Who do they want to express regret to at the last minute? Which intimates do they still want to see, which music do they still want to hear? What mistakes did they make?
Luk Alloo talks to Roos Van Acker, Roger De Vlaminck, Karel De Gucht, Cardinal Danneels, Stijn Meuris, Jan Hoet, Goedele Liekens, Geert Hoste, Natalia, Frieda Van Wijck, Kamagurka and many others. In The last 48 hours he takes stock of their lives.
'It is difficult not to fall for the charm of the man Luk Alloo, but it is even more difficult to avoid the questions of interviewer Luk Alloo. Although they are not always questions. Sometimes they are balloons that he lets up or fish that he throws out. Always playful, never malicious, but he always has a bite. Famous people who have been interviewed until they are bored show the bad manners of telling the same story over and over again. Not so with Luk Alloo. I have experienced that myself. In 1991 I sat face to face with Luk Alloo for the first time as an interviewee. A young lightweight boxer with disarming humor, but with enough knowledge of people to get to the inside at the right moment. Even then. After the conversation I asked a question myself. ""Do you want to work for me?"" The first episode of Jambers was broadcast a short time later.'
