TV review Sometimes it is better to admit that you were wrong

‘I? » Nels eyebrows went upstairs and then shot her gray -blue eyes on her chest. « The neighbor is all about now. »

It is always turned in The moving judge (Broadcaster Max). If the people involved agreed on where the fault was, they would not have called Master John Reid. The neighbor says he is plagued by the neighbor, the neighbor says that the neighbor is lying and causes nuisance. His fence is too high, its TV is too loud – the complaints are often variants on the same themes. In fact, the program should call in an enthusiastic psychoanalyst to dig up the underlying feeling that connects all those themes. I guess that it will come out on something like: take space. See and be seen. But it won’t get that far: due to cuts on the public broadcaster disappears The moving judge Next year from TV.

I thought that was sad news, because I like to use the program to test my human knowledge. I often come to the conclusion that both parties sincerely believe in their own right, but there is sometimes a neighbor whose intentions you start to distrust more and more during the episode. Nel was such a case. She The air conditioning of neighbor Dikran held responsible for a loud sound that sounded like « Dum Dum Dum » (hence the poetic title of this episode: « Not in your hum through Dum Dum Dum ») and was angry that Dikran smoked and sometimes barbecue in his backyard. Dikran just wanted to be left alone in his own house and no longer be scolded by Nel.

With angelic patience he stood opposite her when Nel said against presenter Mascha de Rooij that she had put a high fence in her garden since the first recordings for the program. But Dikran thought that was fine, he experienced less nuisance from Nel in the last two weeks. He smiled at her: « Nice fence, by the way. » Nel then silently shook her head, arms over each other, while she immediately continued to make an eye -catching with her neighbor. « Sir gives you a compliment, » De Rooij tried. « I’m not waiting for that, » said Nel. Furthermore, the program had spoken to another neighbor since those first recordings: Henk, who thought Nel (« a very difficult aunt ») had already bullied three families. To which Nel again responded with: « I? »

Arrow truck

Sometimes your image benefits if you just admit that you were wrong. Take Tom Waes: Last year the Flemish TV personality got into his car drunk and belelled and rode against an arrow truck. Now he makes an excuse round through talk shows to save what can still be saved (a contract with both the VRT and the NPO). Tuesday he was at Eva (AVROTROS), after he was understandably interviewed at VRT Canvas on Monday. « Tom Waes also has to go through the dust in the Netherlands, and there they are harder than here, » headed The standard Expectable. In practice, that was not so bad. Jinek played her strict role with verve and emphasized how irresponsibly Waes had acted, but you can no longer kick a man when he himself has already lay down on his back. Whether he is there as part of a PR strategy or out of genuine regret, only Tom Waes knows-and perhaps Master John Reid, whose human knowledge after almost ten years of solving neighborly quarrels must be well -developed.
