From popular tv-quiz Blocks celebrates its thirtieth anniversary on Thursday. For that occasion, Team Ochtend called Play Nostalgie with jury member Kris Soret, the man who is often heard, but never seen. “Yet, in the beginning, I was not heard.”
“That’s something that happened organically,” Kris Soret explains to Bart and Desna from Team Ochtend. “Ben asked me a question and I shouted it through the studio. The people in the studio could hear it, but the people at home couldn’t, so I was given a microphone, somewhat against my will. Something that became very enjoyable in the short term.”

For some time now, Soret has not been the only voice heard as a jury member. “Due to a collision with another car, I was once an hour late for the recordings. As a result, the woman who normally sits next to me answered and that has remained the case. It was surprising and fun.”
After thirty years of experience, Soret Blocks and also the IQ-Quiz with Herman Van Molle the ideal quiz partner? “That’s a bit of an exaggeration. I know very little about sports and cafés in Flanders, unlike Ben,” he laughs.
