Programme summary

Did you know? Your ears are absolutely unique! They are exactly the same as as your fingerprints or the irises of your eyes. It does nothing more than to put a chip on the ears of the Dutch Police. The Dutch Police have compiled files on the ears of criminals, which have been developed to such a point that it has become possible to identify a suspect by comparing only the ear with a possible print left by the criminal who was reckless enough to eavesdrop. And so it goes!
