Trivia

Season 2 (fall 1999) was originally scheduled to be 20 x 28 minutes but was eventually broadcast as 18 x 28 minutes, plus 1 x 58 minutes. A technical error at Danmarks Radio resulted in one of the episodes not being broadcast. The material from the missing episode was then used in the first half of the following episode (2.14). In total, 67 episodes were broadcast from Seasons 1 and 2, but the running time is equivalent to 68 episodes.

User Reviews

The funniest and craziest show ever!

When I first watched "Casper & Mandril Aftalen" I didn't have any idea about what I was going in to.

It's quite hard to describe what the show actually was about. Casper Christensen - the host, sat behind a desk and did all sorts of crazy things. The show always started with Casper showing his very special list of what was to come on the show. An example: "23.15: German lock smith buys brave panda." It's hard to convey the crazy on goings in the show so I'll leave it to those who are lucky enough to be able to watch the show.
