TV It will take some getting used to for fans of 'Van Gils & Guests'. Who as of tonight is no longer their trusted praatbarak, but the brand-new fiction series 'Thirty-somethings'. A bold, but calculated risk of One, that with this change of course wants to rejuvenate.

'Thirty-somethings' replaces until the end of February, every Monday to Thursday, Van Gils & Guests', the hard talkshowstek of One. Not obvious, but it is a conscious choice, makes network manager Olivier Goris clear. "We had the one talk show by a other can replace. Or with another host or hostess to extract. Or, as we previously did, our viewers with a quiz please. But we have opted for a break in style. It will be used to for the seasoned One viewer. And we keep in mind that it will take time to both the gewoontekijker as new to attract fans," says Goris.

is Very common

With the red thread of the ins and outs of thirty-somethings and their particular recognizable, ordinary life, 'in their Thirties' both younger viewers as a broad audience. "The group has a high feeling of family, of joys and sorrows is constantly shared. It's all very familiar, very ordinary. Of course, there are also traumas and mysteries in some of the larger storylines, but often it is also banal. As on each other's mobile phone to look and see things that you don't need to see. Or as a single, to children of friends and look wrong advice to those kids. You name it. So things sit there non-stop," says director Wim De Smet.

"In the first season of 'Thirty-somethings', we hope to soon have many people to charm, because they recognize situations. Therefore, we have chosen for young adults, all of which improve their life. All the big issues of life come together. Say but the impossible balance between work and life, at that age, a highlight," adds managing director Tom de Baerdemaeker, of the production company Warner Bros, finally.
