Television mourns this Wednesday the death of Eduardo Ladrón de Guevaraone of the creators of Tell me how it happened. The screenwriter has died at the age of 80, and he did not do so on any given day: his farewell comes the same day that La 1 offers the last chapter of the fiction. This is how his team said goodbye to him: “Leave on the day it ends Tell me “Maybe it’s not a coincidence, but perhaps one of your jokes, a last wink that chills our hearts while making us smile.”

His partner and also screenwriter of the fiction starring Imanol Arias and Ana Duato, Jacob Delgadohas shared an emotional letter addressed to Eduardo León de Guevara in The world: “Only you could have thought of leaving the day you left. Look, when plotting scripts you didn’t like coincidences very much. You said that those were screenwriter’s tricks, not good stories,” he begins. “Your scripts always ended up on top, after moving us, giving us some discomfort and, above all, having made us laugh. That’s how you were, like one of your scripts. Funny, biting, witty, unpredictable. That’s how you were and that’s how you’ve gone “Being Eduardo until the end.”

The journalist remembers the life of his mentor in post-war Madrid, his love for reading and football: “From you I learned that there is nothing more difficult than comedy. Difficult for the rest, because for you comedy was the natural state of things. Working with you was fun.” And he adds: “Tell me It is one of your greatest successes, perhaps the most colossal, but not the only one. If the great Spanish series can be counted on the fingers of one hand, many of those fingers are yours. Pharmacy on duty, Thieves go to the office, Dear Teacher… You are television history and a reference for all of us who have come after.”

And he says goodbye: “You are gone, but you are still here. Your legacy of humor and wit will always accompany us. And the pride of having known you, too. Goodbye, teacher, companion and friend.”
