Among the important documentaries that TV3 has broadcast on the Sense ficció container, most of which are self-produced, came a documentary called El Jueves that impressed us deeply this week. Touching noses for 46 years. For those of us who have confessed to Juevians since the magazine was founded in 1977, the work has served as an exercise in emotional memory.

Muriel and Manel Barceló (authors of Mamen) and Vizcarra, the top cartoonist for centerfold posters, were also featured.

Better to dive into the documentary to find out the details of what happened and see how long the monarchy continues to dominate.
