Each show consisted of five different wishes. The first, third and fifth were usually short films shot on a location, in which the participant and Peter Jan Rens practiced a profession or did an activity. Examples of this are drawing the lines on a road, or shooting with a ball. The two wishes in between were usually things done in the studio, such as playing in a band or cooking with a top chef. In addition, every show had a child who 'made the presentation', in other words the formal announcement of all wishes.
