Kull Hadd Fil-Pjazza, a Sunday morning programme that started this season, is a show that brings the culture of the places visited into viewers’ homes.

“Kull Hadd Fil-Pjazza is a programme that makes the Maltese public proud to be Maltese,” says the programme’s producer Angie Laus. “With each programme, we discover more and more things about places in Malta and Gozo that we knew nothing about. We’re showing viewers places that haven’t been opened for years. We’re interviewing people with an interesting story to tell, who were virtually unknown. And most importantly, we’re bringing back old Maltese traditions that have been forgotten,” she says.

Another feature that makes this show different is its break away from the usual two presenters, since Kull Hadd Fil-Pjazza has a team of presenters. “Since the programme moves quickly from section to section, and the village squares are big, it would have been impossible for one presenter to keep up,” explains Angie. “So Pablo Micallef, Valerie Vella, and Joe Debono were chosen. Together they make a great team. Then there’s Steph Cassar, who takes care of the ‘Imhatra’ (the bet) section in which contestants have to carry it out, and Mario Coleiro, who presents the features about places of interest.”

The programme also includes the newspaper analysis section that is presented by MPs Chris Cardona and David Agius, with some good-natured teasing. Ray Fauzza cooks up to 20 different recipes while in the village square and “Illum Imissek Int!” is the show’s candid

camera.

“We try to choose villages from every part of Malta and Gozo. Obviously we choose places that have interesting traditions and a thriving culture,” says Angie. By the end of the series Kull Hadd Fil-Pjazza will have visited 39 different places. Naturally, this kind of programme means that the team has to meet lots of people. Angie explains that they visit the different clubs in the village, the local council and, of course, talk to the local residents. In this way, they have a clearer idea of who has an interesting story. “And if anyone has an interesting story to tell, all they have to do is call us on 25606 200. The rest is in our hands,” says Angie.

Angie says that the response from the villagers has been great. “We’ve found a lot of help at every single place we’ve visited and everyone is willing to pull out all the stops and show the village at its best,” she says with a smile. “Kull Hadd Fil-Pjazza is the only programme that everyone can join in without being invited, the more people, the better the atmosphere!”
