Toni Soler and some of the regular characters of ‘Poland’ at the birthday gala3Cat

has celebrated its twenty years of existence with a gala. A permanence that fully justifies the party now that televisions and platforms tend to fumigate the projects with hysterical anger. In fact, Toni Soler himself, its creator, made a program in 2001 mixing information and humor that lasted for a season on TV3 under the mandate of Jordi Pujol. Some of what will be haystacks were already there poland like Queco Novell, Manuel Lucas… Soler, in an interview, has admitted that the hearings of the 7 of news they were not for throwing rockets but, also, that CiU, PSC, ERC and PP multiplied the political pressures. “”, he stated to La Xarxa in June 2002. poland born with the tripartite government and has always had outstanding support from the audience. Seeing politicians in the audience and on stage at the birthday gala, I’d like to think that, over the years, they’ve learned to embrace humor and, in certain cases, even overlook inequalities in comic indulgence. Anyone who has seen the penultimate scene (if not, consult 3Cat when it was one hour, 22 minutes and 28 seconds ago) will understand it better. In an interview with (RAC 1), a member of the team of poland he made an important precision to understand his game: they don’t make imitations, they create characters. This would explain, for example, that José Montilla, one of the attendees, declared without rancor that a poland they made him say phrases that he had never said before.

The participation of politicians in the program has not been uncommon. In the first season there was a section where one of them was quizzed and received a caustic comment from his clone. We also saw Mayor Hereu, who had just been elected, bring a video of himself so they could fine tune the impersonations. There have been moments that do not wither. The song of Mas Stylewhere the politician asked for an absolute majority to be able to make cuts and did not mean that he would fight for independence is one of them. Tardà’s phrase “someone should have said it” would be repeated in countless environments. If at the beginning, the lookalikes of the politicians practically had the exclusive, little by little poland they were populated with other figures, anonymous or well-known (Ferran Adrià -one of the first-, Carme Ruscalleda, Quim Monzó, Pere Gimferrer, Empar Moliner, Tomàs Molina and his miniature, Josep Cuní, Lluís Llach…). When Toni Soler was out trying to tidy up the chaos in the recording studio, perhaps remembering Telepatientsmeta-television allusions were more frequent. They even hired a TV critic and his funny sarcasms: Ferran Monegal and the canary Papitu.

The program began broadcasting in February 2006. And treatment difficulties did not take long to appear. For example, with the announcement (October 2007) of Pasqual Maragall, a central character in this first stage, who suffered from Alzheimer’s. The week it was announced, polandonce the program finished with the credits he placed Maragall in a homely environment and the comfortable, despite the crowds, company of Jordi Pujol. Seen now, he unwittingly anticipates the cloudy sky inhabited by Macià and Companys, where they also do not avoid discrepancies. Another elegant apartment maneuver when the mood gets really difficult was in November 2017 with the prisoners of the process. The show straightened their wigs in a scene that, too, was a no-commentary tribute. At the gala they broadcast this scene. In January 2019, they returned to their characters. A gala that had more successful jokes than others, as is natural, but which was an example of imagination, worked live television, with gags that did not last, very fast, and a millimeter execution, as has rarely been seen.
