The legendary voice of Paul Jambers sounds again in the Netherlands. RTL 7 will start Saturday with the series Jambers: 20 Years Later. An interview with the famous Fleming about his career and cult reputation. ,, I find myself just so normal ”
With a low, almost whispering voice on his Flemish ‘. By day he is a neat town official, but at night … “At school parties and you were only popular if you had a rake Paul Jambers imitation in the house. In 2006 navigation could even be equipped with the distinctive voice. ,, And I still see imitations come by. Of those videos included with smartphones. I seem to speak much to the imagination. What I think of that? Rather strange than annoying, ” said Jambers itself. ,, I did not know I had that caricatured traits. I found myself just so normal. ”
The now 70-year-old journalist and filmmaker returns after nearly 18 years ago on television. RTL 7 broadcasts from Saturday a series from which the Antwerp returns to the Flemish birds of paradise which he portrayed between 1992 and 1998. A model that after incurring serious burns her career saw shattered, turns 20 years later, happily married to a millionaire from Cannes. And the son of a now dead eccentric, yet fulfills his father’s dream come true: a boat trip around the world. But according Jambers had his last visit to the eccentric Armand, possibly the greatest impact.
Dandy
When he tells those exceptional voice about the encounter, comes across as a bit of TV history to life. ,, A dandy with a huge collection of special clothing. But in the evening he never attended a gala. Armand was lonely. I met him now in a home where only foxes hung up his cloak. And on the wall a picture of us together. Our encounter 20 years ago proved his only moment of fame. ”
Paul Jambers, now in Belgium for some time in the shadows of his 24 years younger wife and successful cook Pascale Naessens, was not the first camera ever put on prominent figures. ,, Who saw you in the early days of television phenomenon. All were always curious people, for example, used a bicycle as a flute. But in my program there was genuine interest in the person himself. That I was I think the first one. ”
Congratulations
,, All I was often thwarted, ” Jambers adds directly to it. This was also discussed in Alloo at Jambers, a documentary series (recently on the Belgian broadcaster VTM) on the career of the famous Fleming who make television 44 years on the counter stand. ,, They did not find “real journalism.” Now I just hear compliments. What you now see everywhere on television, I did 30 years ago. Bon, such a documentary series about me so I see it as recognition. “
How does he see the current approach of ‘his’ genre? Man Bites Dog for example, recently retired after 16 years in the Netherlands, but Flanders is still on the tube? ,, I also see there that funny side of people are enlarged, sometimes at the expense of the person portrayed. It’s a tad facetious. With other programs, I see again that the interviewer is too much in the foreground. Almost like a superstar. That bothers me. My programs were about taboos, but they were always especially informative. ”
Exotic
His reports incidentally led to more discussion in the Netherlands than in home country Belgium, said the maker. ,, My work is closer to the Flemish population and how they are. When you was also popular, but more like exotic phenomenon. Can I say that I love the Netherlands? You’ll hear few other Flemish say ”
The series Jambers:. 20 Years Later is a few years old. It is unlikely that he makes a series yet. ,, I am very busy in the role of manager for my wife. The spotlights are now focused on her, I actually find it enjoyable. Believe it or not, I’m more of a man from behind than in front of the camera. Always have been. ”
