Humberto Tan has a new travel program in which he interviews celebrities, as if we didn’t have enough already. How did Luckily We Still Have Photos started? Bad. Very bad.
With the first episode of Fortunately We Have De Photos Nog, presenter Humberto Tan immediately managed to make the headlines. The big news: Kees Tol has been happy in love for a year. Well, that says enough about the level of the program. Yet another celebrity tea party and the viewer is not exactly excited about it.
364 thousand viewers
The viewing figures are very poor, reports Tina Nijkamp. “It’s a kind of combination between Casa di Beau and Het Perfecte Plaatje, because they take photos all the time. Also a bit of Floortje Naar Het Einde Van De Wereld, but more in the general travel version. It didn’t get off to a very good start: only 364 thousand viewers.”
She continues in her podcast Tina’s TV Update: “That is of course very low for RTL 4 prime time and much lower than what Help Mijn Man Is Klusser scored last week. So no, it is not a good start. I think it is a shame that there was no format behind it. It is very messily edited. It went from one thing to the other.”
Messy show
There is no line in the program, according to Tina. “Then Kees was briefly on the screen again, then Pepijn again, while other programs such as Casa di Beau clearly have a format. Then the presenter sits down separately with this or that one, then another activity, then a conversation with guest B. That’s how the program is structured.”
She continues: “But that was not the issue here at all, which made it a bit messy. Was it about the climate or Kees’ life or Pepijn’s career? There was no real logic to it and I found that very unfortunate and unnecessary. If this program had been better edited, it would have had higher viewing figures, I think.”
Humberto also scored poorly in the commercial target group with only 11.1 percent market share.
