Carlo Boszhard is working on a drama series about presenter Willem Ruis. The series is based on the quizmaster’s life, but is “partly fictional”.
“The series highlights, among other things, the last days of one of the best showmasters the Netherlands has ever known,” writes producer Boszhard in his column in Television. “With the backdrop Star showthe tent with which he wrote TV history.”
His daughter Suus Ruis says that the series is largely inspired by her father’s life. She is involved in the project as a writer. “The series is about my father’s work and shows his personal and inner world,” she says The Telegraph.
It is not yet known who will play the leading role. Xander van Vledder previously played the leading role in a musical about the life of the quiz master.
Ruis is one of the best-known presenters in Dutch television history. He made programs like The Willem Ruis Show, 5 against 5 and the Star show. He died in Spain in 1986 at the age of 41 from cardiac arrest.
