Thirty-five years of “Telepasión” and 70 years of RTVE. Half. It’s a little scary. May “Telepassion” be a tradition that you saw born, my mother. It’s like when we realized that in the 80s, it had been so long since the end of … the civil war (which seemed like the Pleistocene to us) like almost now in the 80s (and I’m talking about the 80s, which seems close to us, because ‘Journey to the center of television” was dedicated to that decade). I don’t know if in “Telepasión” they are doing the right thing by inserting old images, I don’t know, of María Teresa Campos, who is the most important television character in the history of “Telepasión”. I say this because this world of yesterday provokes the same nostalgia that Zweig has for a disintegrated world. It’s like watching the Oscars broadcast now and watching it when there were still real stars alive And that’s without forgetting that “Telepasión” has always been pure Christmas entertainment where we were entertained by watching who sang the least well and who had the least grace when moving And as it happened with the singers and their specials, we then knew who everyone was. We have to talk about “Telepasión” on Christmas Eve because RTVE is the only television that works on the 24th of Christmas. later. And as I said, whether or not you know the singers who lead the others, you may know This time the lucky ones were Dani Fernández and Abraham Mateo.
I’m not going to lie. He had prepared the pipes. I couldn’t wait to see the current figures of RTVE sing (in addition to the not so shy Maria Eizaguirre, the communications director, who is already a classic of recent years; is out, is out, and soon). Would Javier Ruiz sing? He sang and dressed in a hat and raincoat (the usual vest seems more like a suit to me). Even if he didn’t do it with Sarah Santaolaya, and I missed that. Oh. Would Cintora sing? She was released under the name Cintora, but she didn’t sing. Inés Hernand did this by leading a sort of demonstration to defend public television. “La Pasionaria de RTVE” was called Cintora, who reported on the demonstration in her program with the banner “Whoever wants to stop me will not be able to do so”. The current leaders, despite their efforts, will not succeed in stopping RTVE either. On the other hand, Marta Flich sang, but not Gonzalo Miro. Damage.
And then another classic from the latest telepasiones, Aitor Albizua as presenter. Although Lalachús carried the weight (I lost count of how many times he strutted, what a girl). I had fun looking at the great contrast between Albizua’s perfect teeth and Lalachús’s. I understand how hard it is to lose weight, but I don’t understand not getting your hair done. I also understand that there is no reason to lose pounds, at the risk of losing grace at the same time (sometimes it’s like Samson’s hair). I don’t like Melissa McCarthy so thin, Ozempic did a lot of damage. He created big bony women. Lalachús surely wouldn’t be Lalachús if he didn’t have this size. Those thighs in the see-through bodysuit from last issue. What an asshole. I felt for her.
As they were fired shortly after (they lasted from April to June 2025), those from “La casa de la tele” were not able to sing, with the exception of Hernand and Albizua, who despite his kindness and that I would leave him the keys to my house, is the person with the least charisma of the whole house. Eva Soriano and Aníbal Gómez had time to get out, although “How Much, How Much, How Much” has lasted two performances since its premiere in October.
I was looking forward to seeing the current figures of RTVE sing (in addition to the not so shy María Eizaguirre, the communications director, who is already a classic of recent years; she is out, she is out, and soon)
And of course they withdrew the distributions of ‘The promise‘ (Candela, the captain, Leocadia…) and ‘wild valley” (These, the youngest, in their period costumes). There were La 1’s two daily series of failed suicide attempts. The almost suicidal woman in “Valle Salvaje” sang; the other, no (Ángela has a disappearance plot too similar to Doña Pía’s months ago, that I say something else could have happened to them).
I’m already waiting for next year’s “Telepasión.” If you want to see and hear people singing well, this is another window. For example, ‘Rio Bravo‘, which they put yesterday on Trece between ‘Río Rojo’ and ‘Río Lobo’. John Ford was once asked what his best film was and he answered “Rio Bravo.” They told him it was by Howard Hawks. “Oh, it’s from Hawks. I thought it was mine. But it remains my best film.” Yesterday too, they followed in the afternoon “Mary Poppins” and “The Sound of Music” on La 1. Look, Julie Andrews, one of the remaining stars. I love TVE more than Inés Hernand. Even if he doesn’t pay me. Because he doesn’t pay me. Because it’s as much a part of me as my years, my kilos and my memory.
