What happens

Geef Nooit Op (Dutch: never give up) is a Dutch television series broadcast by VARA and RTL 4 between November 1991 and February 1997 and presented by Peter Jan Rens. The concept was based on the BBC series Jim'll Fix It. The show encouraged children to write in a letter to Rens with a "wish" that would come true at the end of each episode.
