Casper & Mandrilaftalen was a Danish cult TV program aired on DR2 in 1999.

The comedy-drama Guru is the story about the life coach Andreas Mertz (Simon Kvamm) who returns home to his childhood city Silkeborg to give the Silkeborgeners the courage to take their fate into their own hands. With his intense coaching programme "Go by yourself" and the release of his book "The Silkeborg Road", we follow the self-appointed super coach in his mission to transform the citizens of Silkeborg, and especially his old childhood friend, Ralph.

Christmas has brought blessings - just not to Stewart Stardust. Someone has sabotaged the engine of his hot dog cart, and it's at the worst possible time. Danny has just been released on parole, and the social worker Arne demands that someone can provide for him - otherwise he will go back to the trap. As if that wasn't enough, the caretaker Greta threatens to put Stewart on the street if he doesn't pay his rent promptly. Fortunately, Kefir the Arab shows up and he wants to fix the hot dog cart for free. It is immediately a good offer, but what interest would he have in a sausage van standing in front of Christiansborg? And can you really repair an engine with the warhead from a Russian SS-20 nuclear missile?

Skavlan is a Norwegian-Swedish television talk show hosted by Norwegian journalist Fredrik Skavlan. It premiered in Sweden on Sveriges Television in January 2009, and the first guests to appear on the show were former Prime Minister of Sweden Göran Persson and his wife Anitra Steen. On 8 May 2009, it was announced that Skavlan had been renewed for a second season. It was also announced that the show would no longer only be produced by SVT in Sweden; Skavlan would now be partly produced in Norway by the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation. The first twelve episodes of Skavlan's second season were produced by SVT in Sweden, and the remaining twelve by NRK in Norway. Skavlan speaks Norwegian and his dialog is therefore subtitled in Swedish in Sweden, even though the two languages are quite similar and mutually intelligible. If the persons being interviewed by Skavlan are Swedish, he often tells them to let him know if they do not understand what he is saying. Swedish novelist Jan Guillou has criticized SVT for subtitling the program, stating "there is no need for that. If the host had been Danish, subtitling would have been necessary, but with a Norwegian host it does not make any sense."
