Carlos Latre premieres next Monday Babylon Showthe program with which he intends to make a place for Telecinco in the access prime time, fighting against the almighty Pablo Motos (The Anthill) from Antena 3 and David Broncano, who is about to land on TVE.
This battle, with permission from Ana Rosa Quintana and Sonsoles Ónega, is the one that has aroused the most curiosity in view of the television season that is now beginning. “It’s good for the industry and for everyone, because it makes us get our act together”defends Jaime Guerra, Director of Content Production at Mediaset Spain, in the face of what he defines as the network’s “big bet” to “open a slot” that Telecinco had not traditionally bet on, with the exception of Chinese Tales. “We have always had the pending subject of access”.
Mediaset will try to fish in the ‘troubled waters’ of a section of the schedule where an interesting battle for the audience is supposed to take place if Broncano or Latre manage to hurt Motos, which remains to be seen. However, it seems that both are aware of the reality at 10:00 p.m., when the dominance of The Anthill it is absolute.
This is how Latre explains it when we ask him if he knows Broncano and if he has spoken with him about the battle of access. “Yes, yes of course. We have told ourselves to have a great time and that we are the ‘last ones in the Philippines’. Pablo is Pablo. It’s television history, “because he has been a leader for 18 years and has Jorge Salvador at his side, who is the smartest guy on TV. Absolute admiration.”
“I’m coming like David: they’ve given us the opportunity, we’re going to do it, we’re going to have a good time and see what happens,” Carlos Latre explains to us five days before the premiere. Babylon Show. “I have no aspirations and I know the desert we are going to have to go through. First, because we are already prejudged. I hadn’t said anything about the program and I was already dead, sentenced and buried.“, he says. “I have a clear idea of what is going to happen next… Well, okay, relax,” he explains about the idea that viewers may have formed before the premiere.
“What I’m going to try to do is not look to the sides and not see what Pablo and David are doing, but my goal is to create the atmosphere Babylonthat people get to know the collaborators, our style,” he says about a program that aims to recover the improvisation and the spirit of programs as unpredictable as Martian ChroniclesTo do this, he has surrounded himself with a large group of collaborators, including Sardà himself, Latre’s television father. Josie, Marta Torné, Esperanza Gracia and Yolanda Ramos will also be on the programme.
Aware of where he is starting from, Latre does not rule out that this supposed disadvantage could become an opportunity. “In two days people have already been surprised. Luis de la Fuente? People didn’t even know that there was going to be an invitation,” he says about the football coach, who will be the godfather of Babylon Show“Maybe it’s part of the strategy, knowing what Spain is like… Calm down.”
