Since Narciso  wanted to substitute all the secretaries at the same time, he didnt  get new secretaries to substitute the missing ones, and so, for a  month, the team of secretaries only had four members, which led to  difficulties with cameras, since at least five secretaries were  needed to do the first part of the show properly, three to introduce  the contestants, and two to receive the host. So, the secretaries  had to run away from the hosts side to introduce the contestants,  and this couldnt be seen on'),

The result  was the immediate rise to fame of Marta Sanchez, and their album  sold thousands of copies. The record company gave Chicho and the  show "Un dos tres" a special gold record for launching Martas  career.'),

('37700',' In the three previous seasons, the first question in the first part  gave the contestants 25 pesetas per answer. In this chapter it was  introduced for the very first time the "Cylinder Machine" that would  last for the rest of the seasons, even in 2004. It was a machine  with a handle that had three cylinders with numbers. When a  secretary turned the handle, the three cylinders started moving like  in a vending machine. Then, the three cylinders stopped and a number  could be read. In this season, the right cylinder had only 1s and  0s, the middle one had the numbers from 1 to 5, and the left  cylinder from 0 to 9, so the amount for each correct answer on the  first question from this day on could vary from 10 pesetas if there  was bad luck to 159 pesetas if there was a lot of luck. The  secretary turned the handle twice to test the machine, and the first  try gave 152 pesetas, but when the final try had to be done, the  machine only gave 18 pesetas and that was the amount for the first  question on this chapter, 7 pesetas lower than in previous season  when the intention was to increase the money.'),
('37701',' Narciso had decided to take out the characters of the Miserly Ladies  and introduced a new character, a old and grumpy secretary called  Eugenia Enchufols to substitute them. But days before the shooting  began, he found out that character would not work and called the  Hurtado Sisters to appear as guests in the public. The shooting day,  he called them and told them if they wanted to return to the show,  he would spent the chapters contracted with Eugenia Roca, the  actress that played Eugenia Enchufols, and then he would recover the  Miserly Ladies. The Hurtados agreed, but while that return could be  done they asked to appear in the third part of the show doing  different characters. Chicho wasnt very convinced by that, but he  accepted it and the characters by las Hurtado in that part became so  successful that when the Miserly Ladies returned a few chapters  later, they went on appearing in the third part of the show until  the 1990s.'),
('37702',' After the total failure it was to substitute a negative puppet  (Ruperta) with another negative puppet (Botilde), Narciso decided to  do an experiment, and instead of bringing a new negative puppet, he  created the first positive puppet ever, El Chollo. If the  contestants won it at the end of the show, the could choose any of  the prizes that would have appeared on their night to keep it. But  the experiment went wrong, as the public didnt like just a positive  puppet, and so Narciso had to make modifications a few chapters  later.'),

('37704',' In all the previous chapters, there was a ballet that used to do  choreographies, and the secretaries only appeared as assistants to  the host, but they didnt sing or danced. This chapter was a  revolution to the show, since the ballet and the team of secretaries  merged into a single thing. The girls were assistants to the host in  the first part of the show and also helped him or her in the second  and third part when he or she needed it. Now they also starred in  musical numbers, singing and dancing. On this third season, the  secretaries mainly danced instrumental songs or did playback on  english songs while dancing. In this chapter, Kim Manning dances  while doing a playback of "Bye, bye, blackbird" with Liza Minellis  voice. There were exceptions, mainly from Silvia Marsó who sung many  of her songs, like in this chapter, "Remena, Nena". The reason was a  lack of budget to do spanish adaptations, something that would  change way in the fourth season.'),

It appeared later as  archive footage in two different chapters, the 20th anniversary  special in 1992, and a special chapter remembering the best musical  numbers of all the history of the show in 1993.'),
('37715',' After eleven years, Narciso decided to take out the pumpkin as the  symbol of the worst prize to renew the show. This way, Ruperta, the  pumpkin, made its last appearance as the puppet of the show, at  least in the eighties. Many puppets appeared during the 80s to  substitute Ruperta, but in spite of the years, the public did not  forget it, so Narciso had to bring Ruperta back in the 1990s. The  first substitute was again a negative puppet, and it was introduced  in this chapter to appear singing in the beginning of the show from  the following chapter. It was Botilde, the boot, the new symbol of  the worst prize and a total failure to win the sympathy from the  public who saw it as a copy from Ruperta.'),
('37716',' In this episode, Valentín Tornos made his last appearance on'),
('37717','screen,  as Don Cicuta. While the rest of the chapter was shot in color (the  first color chapter ever) his single scene from Tacañón del Todo was  shot in black and white to remind the previous season, fully shot in  that format. Although he was supposed to appear standing still,  because of the illness that eventually killed him a few months  later, he had to be sat down all the time, and the equipment built a  special balcony to hide this as much as it was possible.'),

('37721',' This was the chapter when, for the first time, Narciso Ibáñez  Serrador decided to credit himself on the titles.'),
('37722',' El Chollo wasnt working very well, as everybody missed a negative  puppet like the ones in the three previous seasons. So, Narciso  decided to create a new negative puppet, El Antichollo. If the  contestants won it, as it happened with Ruperta and Botilde, they  would go home with nothing. But Narciso didnt take off El Chollo.  To confuse the contestants even more, he stated the rule, that there  always would be a Chollo in every chapter, but it would never be  known if it was El Chollo or El Antichollo. This increased the  emotion in the end of the show if at the last prize the puppet  hadnt appeared yet, it would be a face or cross game, they could  win any prize they wanted, or they could go home with nothing. This  combination of El Chollo and El Antichollo finally managed to  compete with Rupertas memory since they became really famous in  Spain at the time, with a lot of merchandising like comic and  coloring books, collections, chewing gum, etc, something that hadnt  been so successful since Rupertas times.'),
('37723',' Third and last time we saw the classic musical number "Cesar", this  time in a full new version by Marta Garcia with some changes in the  lyrics.

('37724',' The show, which was showed on Friday evenings, used to be repeated  on weekend mornings so that children could watch it. The extreme  length of this chapter, almost three hours and a half, the longest  chapter in the history of the show, without including commercials,  which probably made this chapter reach four hours of length at the  moment of its broadcasting, forced to do this repetition on two  parts in two consecutive weeks.'),
