The roads of public television are inscrutable. On February 7, La 1 premiered its new space for humor and news under the title of ‘Let’s get along’ and with Ana Morgade in front. Three days later, TVE has decided to “temporarily suspend” the program to give the format a twist and, if all goes well, return around the summer with a new presenter or presenter.
start off on the wrong foot
‘We’re going to get along’, in which a group of comedians face each other to try to get more laughs from the respectable —measured with an “applause meter”— while they review current affairs, began his journey wrapped in a controversy related to accusations of plagiarism. According to the journalist Marisol Galdón, the title of the show was the same as that of a project that she presented to the network in 2020.
Finally, after the RTVE board of directors weathered the storm by assuring that the content of the space “had nothing to do with it”, ‘Vamos a llevarnos bien’ was broadcast with Bárbara Rey, Luis Zahera, Antonio de la Torre and Blanca Paloma as guests . Unfortunately, it seems that these names were not enough of a claim, because the prime time of La 1 only scratched a deficient 4.8% share of the screen.
This seems to be one of the main reasons that have led to the suspension, announced by Ana Morgade on her social networks through a message that started with a “It has not been” and who makes self-criticism by acknowledging that “We have made less audience than teletext”. In addition, the comedian has communicated her abandonment as follows:
“The show will try to shine again and will return to the screens in a few months, but I can not be in it, I have other adventures agreed and we will go our separate ways.”
Will ‘Let’s get along’ return to be reborn from its ashes like a phoenix? Will it be left in the limbo of ghost cancellations? While we wait for answers, you can read the text complete de Morgade on his Twitter account.
