At the beginning of 2009 the premiere of the sketch program "One for All" took place on Domashny TV channel. Its main difference from similar shows is that all the main roles are performed by one actress - Anna Ardova. Many years have passed, but the interest of viewers in Anna's work has not only not faded away, but has increased many times over.
Each issue of the program "One for All" consists of several humorous sketches that are not related to each other in meaning. Only one thing is invariable - the main character of each story is a woman, played, of course, by Anna Ardova. The show has already released seven seasons of 20-30 episodes, and the ratings of the program are just off the charts, despite the fact that its reruns are on the air. The main theme is, of course, ridicule of our vices and shortcomings. The storyline is built in such a way that in almost every character the viewer recognizes himself, his neighbors at the entrance, cottage or garage, relatives and acquaintances. At the same time, the stories are presented not as caustic satire, but as warm teasing over oneself, harmless humor performed by talented actors.
The face of the sketch show "One for All"
Anna Ardova is the successor of the famous acting dynasty. She grew up among famous directors, famous actors and simply could not become anyone else, only an actress. Her comedic talent was appreciated back in 1995 by her teacher A. A. Goncharov. Behind Anna's shoulders many years of work in the Mayakovsky Theater, shooting in humorous programs and films. But the real, nationwide fame and love was brought to her by shooting in the program "One for All".
Work on the show
The creators partly borrowed the idea of the program from foreign colleagues, taking as a basis the program from English television "The Catherine Tate Show". The episodes were filmed mainly in the pavilions of the film studio, but there are several scenes filmed on city streets. For the makeup of the actors, a unique method was used, which was previously used only in Hollywood make-up rooms when shooting films in the genre of fantasy and thrillers. This method allows you to change the face of the actor beyond recognition, without creating a mask effect and unnaturalness. The plots for each story were taken "from the people", the lines and even entire monologues of many heroes changed and improved already in the process of shooting. The work on the program took place, practically, in an emergency mode. The popularity of the show was so high, and since the release of its first issues, that it was necessary to work hard, because the viewer demanded a continuation.
Uniqueness and versatility
Despite the fact that the idea of the show was English, “One for All” did not become a faceless copy of the original. The script for each plot is built taking into account the peculiarities of Russian humor and Russian mentality. You can watch the show with the whole family - it has no age restrictions and will interest both a teenager and a pensioner, it will be understandable for both a child and a 20-30-year-old viewer.
