Jack van Gelder would like to revive the TV classic ‘On land, at sea and in the air’, but he doesn’t know if the AvroTros wants to. “Maybe Eva Jinek will do it!”
Last Saturday evening it was an unexpectedly big television hit: the start of the compilation show ‘The best of 50 years On land, at sea and in the air’. Immediately after the Achuurjournaal, no less than 1.2 million people (31 percent market share) watched it, which is really very high for a program that is broadcast in the summer.
‘A lot of viewers’
Viewing figure connoisseur Tina Nijkamp is impressed. “That’s a lot for the end of July, because a lot of people are on vacation, on vacation and that’s just such a month that you don’t always turn on the TV,” she says. RTL Boulevard.
“We all know it from the past. We watched it with wet hair on the couch, as they say. That evokes a very pleasant feeling and that is why the older people certainly watched it and they probably watched it with their children, because it also scored very well in the younger target group.”
‘SBS 6 wants it’
The channels also see this, of course, continues Tina. “Of course the NPO thinks: geez, that one is very good, much better than that talent show. And SBS 6 and RTL 4 will also think: ooh, this might be a reason to do it.”
Tina, the former channel boss of SBS 6, fills in on her ratings juice channel to: “I know that SBS 6 has thought about it VERY often and talked about bringing it back, but when I checked the numbers it turned out that it scored fairly old with the TROS at the time. What about now? It scores GREAT. No less than 28 percent in 25 to 54 years.”
Jack will
Jack van Gelder would like to revive this former AvroTros show. “It’s just good entertainment that could still be done today. Yes, I would be honored. I would love it and look forward to it, so yes: why not?” he says Show news.
However, it is also true that AvroTros has just brought in a big TV star, Jack jokes. “Maybe Jinek will present it. You never know!”
AvroTros won’t
However, the AvroTros does not seem that enthusiastic: “Of course we look back very positively on the rich history of On land, at sea and in the air (and at last night’s good figures), but there are currently no concrete plans to make new episodes.”
According to Shownieuws, Talpa does listen to it. “The success surprised us. We are following it with interest.”
