2017 When comedian Herman Finkers starts his search for his ancestors, he assumes that he can make the journey by bike. He suspects that from Twente he will not have to cross the IJssel. After all, his ancestors are all true Tukkers, rooted in Almelo and its immediate surroundings for generations. To some extent, that is true, but when Herman delves a little deeper into his family history, he is still faced with surprises and has to travel more kilometers. In any case, too many for the bike. At the end of his journey, Finkers concludes: 'There has been quite a lot of suffering and that is why I actually find it admirable and also surprising that I come from such a cheerful family.' Herman Finkers' dry humor seems to be born from misery.
