Sinterklaas absent from first Sinterklaasjournaal episode

16 sources

Het Sinterklaasjournaal began on Monday with images of the steamboat travelling from Spain to Grave, where Sinterklaas is due to arrive on Saturday. Sinterklaas himself was not shown in the first episode, and his head assistant also failed to find him in his office. The programme did not reveal the successor to Stefan de Walle, who had played Sinterklaas for 15 years. The identity of the new Sinterklaas therefore remains unknown.
