The Big Donor Show : ウィキペディア英語版 | De Grote Donorshow
''De Grote Donorshow'' (''The Big Donor Show'') was a hoax reality television program which was broadcast in the Netherlands on Friday, June 1, 2007, by BNN. The program involved a supposedly terminally ill 37-year-old woman donating a kidney to one of twenty-five people requiring a kidney transplantation. After a first selection, three people remained. Viewers were able to send advice on whom they thought she should choose to give her kidney to via text messages.〔(The Scotsman )〕〔(Sky News )〕 The profit made by the text messages was given to the Dutch Kidney Foundation.〔 (Jeugdjournaal )〕 The program, due to its controversial nature, had received heavy international criticism in the run-up to the broadcast.〔〔 In the end, it was revealed during the course of the show that the "terminally ill" woman was, in reality, an actress, although the three candidates were, in fact, real kidney patients; they were aware that Lisa was an actress, and participated because they were supportive of BNN's cause to give awareness to the limited number of organ donors in the Netherlands.〔(''Washington Post'', June 1, 2007 )〕 In a press statement after the show, Paul Römer, the director of the program's creator Endemol, stated that the show was necessary in order to get the shortage of donors back on the political agenda.〔 (BNN's press statement ) in which BNN explains that the show was a hoax, and why they did it.〕 ==Background== Bart de Graaff, the BNN founder who died in May 2002 (almost exactly 5 years before the broadcast of the show), obtained a donor kidney in 1997. De Graaff had renal failure stemming from a car accident in his youth. The studio from which the show was aired contained photos of him, as seen on the picture to the right. It has been claimed that De Graaff was BNN's source of inspiration for the show, both by the show's host, Lodiers, as well as in the post-broadcast press release.
