8.1La que se avecina is a Spanish television comedy created by Alberto Caballero, Laura Caballero and Daniel Deorador. The TV-series focusing around the inhabitants of Mirador de Montepinar, a fictional building located on the outskirts of a big city. Both its storylines and cast are heavily based on Aquí no hay quien viva, which ended when Telecinco bought Miramón Mendi, the series production company. The episodes debuted on the Telecinco network, and were later rerun by the same network as well as cable/satellite channels FactoríaDeFicción and Paramount Comedy. The series debuted in 22 April 2007 and became popular thanks to its funny characters, witty script, use of catchphrases and capacity to integrate and poke fun at contemporary issues; the program presents a caustic satire of many of the 'types' found in Spanish society. The name of the show involves wordplay, as "vecina" is the Spanish word for neighbour.

NRA documentary that takes an emotional journey through the life and career of David Delfín, a unique, controversial, and revolutionary artist who was much more than a fashion designer. It portrays a complete and multidisciplinary creator who used couture to express himself and the catwalk as his megaphone. Beginning with the scandalous 2002 Cour des miracles show—known as “the rope show”—the film explores his artistic vision and his intimate world as a son, brother, boyfriend, and friend. Through moving testimonies from those closest to him, it reveals both his brilliance and vulnerability. In a tragic twist of fate, Delfín and his soulmate, model Bimba Bosé, were both diagnosed with cancer at nearly the same time; she died in January 2017, and he followed five months later.

6.2La Bola de Cristal was a Spanish TV Show that aired on TVE from 1984 to 1988. The show was the brainchild of Spanish writer Dolores Rico Oliver and was hosted by pop singer Alaska. The show, which was ostensibly targeted at a young audience, reflected the spirit of the times, that of the post-Franco Spanish transition and of the cultural and musical movement known as la movida. In contrast to previous shows, with a very childish use of language, it had continuous puns related to electronics: the Electroduendes puppets included Maese Cámara, Hada Vídeo and Bruja Avería as regular characters.

In 'El Mago Pop', Antonio Díaz will take his magic to the streets and will connect with several well-known faces on the national and international scene that will serve as intermediate steps to reach his final goal. With Discovery MAX cameras as a witness and magic as a bargaining chip, ‘El Mago Pop’ will weave a chain of contacts in which each of the five links will bring him a little closer to his idol. Who is ‘The Pop Magician’? There is no tux, no top hats. Just a young wizard with overwhelming talent.
