'Who is the Mole?' is a great show, which has its roots in Belgium. In 1999 the first series of 'Who is the Mole?' started in Belgium. It was a great success. A lot of other countries soon followed, like Holland, Australia, Germany, Sweden, the USA, Poland, Britain, New Zealand, Israel, Catalonia (Spain) and Italy. Meanwhile there have already been second, third and fourth editions in several countries.

But what is it all about? A certain number of people go on a journey. They have to do different challenges to win money. But there is a Mole among those people, who tries to sabotage the challenges. The others have to find out who the Mole is. And so do the viewers, because no one knows the identity of the Mole, except for the Mole itself and the production crew. Only the contestant who knows the most about the Mole wins the money.

The Mole won The Golden Rose of Montreux in 2000.

In Australia the Mole won the award for most popular reality program on 23rd April 2001 at the 43rd TV WEEK logie awards. It competed against the popular show 'Popstars' but still won.

On 21st September 2001, 'The Mole' won 'Het Gouden Beeld' (the golden statue) in Holland.
Another award in Holland is 'De Gouden Televizier-ring'. 'The Mole' was one of the three nominated, but just didn't win. Instead the award went to 'Spoorloos', a show which reunites people who haven't seen each other for years.

On 2nd February 2004, 'De Mol 3' (third series of the Belgian Mole) won the award for 'Best tv show of 2003' in Belgium. Every series of 'De Mol' had been nominated each time for best tv show of that particular year, but this is the first time they actually won the award. The show got rewarded because of the way the contestants get treated with respect and are portrayed respectfully. Other reality-tv shows don't always do that.
