Season 2

Splinter Chabot follows the renovation of the Binnenhof. Unexpected archaeological finds and changes to design plans cause delays and resistance. Splinter discusses this with involved professionals, local residents and entrepreneurs. He also reminisces with BBB Member of Parliament Caroline van der Plas and speculates about a possible future in the Torentje.

Architects and contractors put together the puzzle for the design of the renovation. Together with Lilian Marijnissen, Splinter Chabot looks back on her time in the House of Representatives and visits the Chamber of Commerce. He also goes out with political journalist Jaïr Ferwerda, who collects anecdotes together with Splinter and really misses the Binnenhof as a workplace.

The Binnenhof is a symbol of a society, of a spirit of the times. Splinter Chabot talks about it with architect Pi de Bruijn, who was responsible for the major renovation of the House of Representatives in the 1980s and is now involved in the design of the new public entrance. Political reporter Merel Ek is the first guest to return to the Binnenhof with little nostalgia. According to her, the Binnenhof should have a completely different function. Together with Alexander Pechtold, Splinter Chabot looks back on the formation negotiations of 2017.
