Den 11. time (styled as "den 11. time"; English: The eleventh hour) was a Danish television talk show on DR2. It aired at 23:00 on DR2 weekly on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The show was hosted by Mikael Bertelsen, and his editor, Mads Brügger would occasionally step in as host for a given programme.
Den 11. time included guests such as the then-Danish Minister of Culture, Brian Mikkelsen,[1] but also had foreign guests such as Phillip Blond[2] or even Mikhail Gorbachev, who stated in a letter to the presenters that it was one of the most interesting interviews he ever did.[3] Sometimes the programme would air live, but other times it would be pre-recorded, often to be able to get the subtitles on for non-Danish guests. Though, at times an interpreter in the studio provided the translations.
It last broadcast on 21 May 2008, despite large popularity.[3]
