Telecinco premieres in its prime time the contest On your own, presented by Lara Alvarez and Florentino Fernandez. On La 1, Weekly report includes a report that analyses homophobia in Spanish football. DMAX offers a new installment of the documentary series 091: Police alert. And in the field of cinema, a great family film like The magic Nanny and a very tough drama about the ins and outs of a family, Secrets and Lies, by Mike Leigh.
‘The magic Nanny’
20. 15, Hollywood
Nanny McPhee. United Kingdom-USA, 2005 (97 minutes). Director: Kirk Jones. Starring: Emma Thompson, Colin Firth.
Commercial films with greater pretensions would like to aspire to match the narrative effectiveness and the powerful staging of this family fable, simple only in appearance. Christianna Brand’s excellent stories come to the screen to present a mysterious nanny who has to deal with seven restless kids.
Police work, day by day
21.00, DMAX
Like every Saturday, DMAX accompanies the units of the Spanish National Police in the documentary series 091: Police alert. In this episode, viewers will witness the search of a drug dealer’s flat, the assault of a man on his partner in the presence of his daughter, a settling of scores between several young people and other cases that the security forces face every day.
Homophobia in Spanish football
21.30, La 1
Space Weekly report broadcasts the report Homophobia is out of the question, The film stars Marbella player Alberto Lejárraga, who speaks to the programme to explain how he has experienced homophobia first-hand, both on and off the football pitch. Later on, A hot year takes stock of what 2023 has been like on an international level.
‘Secrets and Lies’
22.00, Movistar Indie
Secrets and Lies. United Kingdom, 1995 (140 minutes). Director: Mike Leigh. Cast: Timothy Spall, Brenda Blethyn, Phyllis Logan.
Mike Leigh once again portrays the miseries of contemporary society. Secrets and Lies It infiltrates the inner workings of a family to break down its relationships, and it does so by achieving the most complex thing: making the viewer almost another character in the play, shaken by the proximity of the conflicts, making what happens before their eyes life itself and making its meticulous dramatic reconstruction invisible. Secrets and Lies It is a disturbing, very hard, essential work.
