Tim Hofman causes annoyance to Tina Nijkamp with his guest appearance in the anniversary season of Wie is de Mol. “He’s going back and forth by plane to Portugal for a day!” she shouts.
The NPO talks a lot about sustainability, but according to TV authority Tina Nijkamp, it has a lot to worry about. She points to the anniversary season of Wie is de Mol, in which old acquaintances from the program also appear in fleeting guest roles. So fleeting that it is ridiculous that they are flown to Portugal for this, she thinks.
For the stage
It’s laughable, says Tina. “The broadcasters, including AvroTros, are supposedly doing their best to work sustainably, are talking about it and there is even a whole so-called Albert certification (costs a lot of money and a lot of time for the TV makers), but what happens??? Just for the stage!!!”, she calls out to her. analysis channel.
“They do just the opposite. They use airline tickets as if it were nothing. After no fewer than nine former candidates from Wie is de Mol, including Tim Hofman and Marc Marie Huijbregts, were flown to Portugal for one day (!!!) for a very minimal contribution to one (!!!) assignment last week, it was Ellie Lust’s turn this weekend.”
Cervelate
Albert is the NPO’s program to reduce CO2 emissions from TV programs. “The HYPOCRISY called Albert,” Tina shouts. “At Wie is de Mol, printing is not allowed and no cervelaat sandwich is allowed to be eaten, but airline tickets are booked as if it were nothing.”
Tina continues: “Next episode, about six people will again be flown in for one day, including the former presenters Art, Angela and Pieter Jan. How can these kinds of actions be reconciled with that Albert certificate? So hypocritical.”
Three tons
It’s a waste of money, Tina thinks. She adds in her podcast The Media Week: “With all the fuss about the cutbacks that they are so busy with, they have had eight former candidates fly over again for a day.”
She continues: “Tim Hofman was sitting there, Marc-Marie, well, all types. They were also allowed to judge who they thought the Mole was. That was total nonsense! That’s how a budget of three hundred euros per episode comes up, yes.”
‘Damn you, man!’
Co-host Mark Koster completely agrees. “It has a strange kind of pretension. It’s the TV aristocracy. Tim Hofman is falsely modest. That’s like: ohhh, I’m not flying! Hey, get the hell out of here! Say: I enjoy life, and this is a nice treat for me!”
Tina concludes: “I’m concerned about the hypocrisy. Máxima doesn’t say: ‘I’d rather go by train.’ No, we know he gets on private planes all the time. Tim Hofman says: ‘I prefer to go by train’, but then he goes back and forth to Portugal for a day. That hypocrisy is what matters to me.”
