Background: Salomon Kalou (then of Feyenoord, now of Chelsea) wanted a Dutch passport and to play for Holland in the 2006 World Cup. Van Basten had already said he would pick him, and the whole country wanted him, but right-wing minister Rita Verdonk (who is the one on the sofa with her not-so-happy husband at the end) refused to fast-track his passport. This was released just before the world cup, amazing with Lineker and Dutch TV presenters guesting, and was eventually banned after only 1 day on air. I thought it was great.
