It was a great show this year and Frederik and Mary had chosen some very relevant and touching prize recipients. The visits F&M did home at author Kim Leine and the Greenland Children was enriching. A good show with dignity and seriousness, but also humour.
A thing that I don't think has been mentioned here at TRF is that the Crown Prince couple's prize award (which was sent live on Denmark's main channel DR1) opened in a brillaint way!
* The program starts .. DR1 switches to the studio and sends live... but the hosts are missing. And then Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary stands alone in the control room and looks around...
Mary: Shouldn't they (the hosts) be here now?
Frederik: Well, they should certainly be here now.
Mary: We are going live in a minute...
Frederik: Yes, it's a tv production and you have to be punctual... but hey, their (the host's) cards are right here... (pointing at the cards)
Mary: Should we? (take the host's card and take over their roles)
Frederik: Yes, shouldn't we? Let's do it...
Mary: Yes let's do it... let us get started this show.... *
Then Frederik and Mary leaves the control room and enters the stage and welcome all (all this happpen while broadcasting live on Denmark's main channel in prime time.)
Frederik and Mary walks in and welcome and Mary just reach to say:
"And then we hope that Kaare and Stephanie (the hosts) soon are on the stairs...."
And the hosts come running and apologize for the delay and then take over.
It was obviously planned, but really fun and a brilliant opening of the show and F&M have been praised for it - both by the tv-watchers and by the royal experts in the papers.
