Jack van Gelder acts in the talk shows of Hélène Hendriks as the Johan Derksen, but is that trick not worked out a bit now? “He’s really more and more a humming grandfather.”
The talk show of Hélène Hendriks scores well, but the cast From her talk show is not nearly as popular as that of today Inside. The duo Rutger Castricum and Jack van Gelder is not nearly as popular as René van der Gijp and Johan Derksen. Is Hélène doing well to hold on to these two gentlemen so stubbornly?
Grumbling grandfather
Media journalist Mark Koster believes that the Oranjezondag is going downhill. “The Oranjezondag is getting worse. I think: that really is no longer possible what is happening there. It is such an incredible living room with such a nagging uncle. Our husband from Badhoevedorp, Jack van Gelder, I really can’t look at it anymore,” he says in The Media Week.
Mark is absolutely not a Jack fan. “That half laconic, but in the meantime … it has become such a humming grandfather. I find nothing exciting anymore. I think Rutger Castricum is good if he has a subject that is about something, but that Pieter Cobelens too, it’s always the same! I don’t like it.”
‘I am a bit milder’
Co-host Tina Nijkamp sees that differently. “I am a bit milder about it. I also have the viewing figures. They had 899 thousand viewers and it also scored very well in the target group. So there is an audience for it.”
Mark: “I think that Hélène really does her best, but it comes out so little that is fascinating.”
Tina: “No, it isn’t. She’s really good.”
Mark: “No, she’s good. She really does her best.”
Better line-up
The broadcasts of Hélène are indeed very bad; There is hardly anything new quality. “Maybe they should do the line-up a little tighter. Slightly tighter,” said Tina.
Mark: “More modern people in it. Always the same, Joh.”
Tina: “Maybe some new guests.”
Mark: “New guests, a bit fresher, and not always that nagging. It can also be a bit happier.”
