The Bulletin of the RTP Working Committee this Wednesday left scathing remarks on the Sunday afternoon program “Chefs da Nosa Terra”. presented Elizabeth Silva and João Paulo Rodrigues, which premiered on 15 May.
“When the fireworks were set off two years ago on the “positive” RTP results, it probably made sense to moderate the enthusiasm with some caution, because we were talking about the results before the tax blunder. When the “financial hole” sounds the alarm now, it will obviously be wise not to panic and first see what this alarm means“, can be read in a document shared on social media.
Then, in a paragraph titled “Buraco negro e regabofe”, a commission of public television professionals points the finger at the program and producer Coral for spending what she considers irresponsible: various non-critical externalizations. A program like the Chefs da Nossa Terra runs at a cost that is at least three times the cost of in-house production. (compare with the cost of Aqui Portugal).”
“Is there anything special about the production of “Chefs da minha terra” Coral that justifies this exorbitance? Over the years, Coral has already made a significant contribution to RTP and even elements of know-how that have enriched our own way of creating television. However, everything has changed, and what we see today are pharaonic entourages, leading regions that do not know their scripts, more like bazaars, captured by chaos, indiscipline and incompetence,” concluded the working commission of the RTP.
