‘This TV war is very entertaining’

The television quarrel between Beau van Erven Dorens and Wilfred Genee continues merrily, to the great pleasure of Johan Derksen. “As an impartial judge I can say: you are both right.”

Beau van Erven Dorens and Wilfred Genee have not been able to get through each other for years, because Beau feels very badly put off by his TV colleague. In two interviews, which took place at the end of Beau’s failed adventure at SBS 6, Wilfred sawed him through about his many television flops.

Leech Wilfred

After years, Beau rekindled their dispute last Monday by calling Wilfred in RTL Boulevard ‘one of the most horrible people I have ever met in my life’, after which Wilfred again called out that he was very ‘desperate’ for Beau.middle of the roadas a talk show host. And those two sneers are now getting a sequel.

Beau got a leech placed on his arm on his talk show on Wednesday, to which he said: “Hi, honey. What shall we call him? Hi Wilfred!”

“He eats it!”

Wilfred can laugh heartily at that joke. The fragment was repeated last night in Inside today. Immediately afterwards he accuses Beau of effect: “If the ratings don’t go up, he’ll eat it soon, of course, won’t he? Then he bites it.”

Colleague Johan Derksen then: “I have to laugh a lot about your media war. You with Beau. Beau thinks you’re a terrible man and you think Beau is middle of the road. And me as an impartial judge: you are both right.”

Middle of the road

Wilfred laughing: “Yes, that’s right! I think Beau is a really nice guy.”

Johan: “But indeed: middle of the road.”

Wilfred: “Yeah, it’s a different shape, isn’t it? We are trying to sharpen things up a bit at this table, I have the impression.”

Johan: “Yes, but that is why you are a terrible man.”

Wilfred: “Yes, that will play a role, because otherwise it won’t work.”
