"Dit was het nieuws" is Dutch for "This was the news", and is a Dutch television panel show, wherein two teams give a satirical account of the previous week's news. The program has the form of a game show in which two teams, each with a team leader plus a weekly guest, compete against each other. The scoring is not serious; after the first round, for instance, the score is always 4-4. The show is based on the BBC show Have I Got News For You.
