Marijn Devalck emphasizes that the decision is one of everyone’s: “The entire cast has evaluated the Christmas special and together with the VRT decided to stop. We end at a peak, at a peak even. We made a ‘special’ that went further than usual, that mixed comedy and drama. That was very beautiful, that was very well viewed and it was an ode to our Xavier, to Johny Voners, to a very popular character and actor. “
But didn’t Devalck himself want to continue? “No, we all have the same opinion about it. We have achieved something wonderful in thirty years, nowhere in the world has a comedy series run for so long, we have set a world record in our own small country. Colleague An Swartenbroeckx and I are proverbially two hands on. One belly and she no longer saw new scenarios and wants to do something else. I’m also working on a new project. No, it’s over, we all say that. “
