Television, like any other artifact of pop culture, has a huge sociological charge.
Through it, an entire country or an entire era can be explained and understood, just like the news in newspapers or history books.
Días de tele
, the new La 1 program that marks the return of Julia Otero to TVE, arrives this Tuesday night (from 10:40 p.m.) with that premise.
Carolina Bilder, its director, advances that it is not a magazine about nostalgia.
"From an event that left us glued to the screen, we relive a time in very different ways, to begin a journey every week that takes us to the present day," she comments by phone a few hours after the premiere of the space.
From a great moment lived in front of the television and that belongs to the collective memory of the Spanish,
Días de tele
will connect with the present.
A good example of how the program is going to unite yesterday and today is the menu of its first installment.
In it, Otero and his team will remember the phenomenon of Uri Geller, the man who in September 1975 kept viewers glued to television with his illusionism.
The journalist will reflect with her collaborators on truth and lies to this day, "in the era of hoaxes, misinformation and
fake news"
,
highlights Bilder.
He will do it with the performance of the illusionist Adolfo Masyebra and the review of the adventures of an artist in this lie: little Nicolás.
The new La 1 program seeks a versatile format, which is a great two-hour weekly show in which to speak in one of the 13 installments of its first season "about sexuality and pornography or about the way in which today's young people they manage success and failure compared to previous decades”, says its director.
And it will also combine humor and music, through monologues and special live performances.

The huge RTVE archive fed during its more than 65 years of history is an important part of the program's script, but so are the reports on the street with which to return to the present, in a RTVE production in collaboration with Lacoproductora (from Grupo PRISA, publisher of EL PAÍS).
