I have many favourite TV programs. Of them I like ‘Ityadi’ most. ‘Ityadi’ is broadcast on BTV. Its duration is one hour. This is a magazine program. This is basically a social satirical program with entertainment.
‘Ityadi’ has been being broadcast for more than 25 years. It is one of the longest running shows on Bangladesh Television. This proves the popularity of this program among all sorts of people in Bangladesh and abroad. Hanif Sonket is the designer, director and presenter of ‘Ityadi’. He shows mini dramatic sketch, songs, dance, quiz contest, documentary report, letters from the audience, interview etc. Ityadi also helps to promote Bengali culture among the young generation in age of cultural diversity due to globalization. It also brings many intellectual persons in music, drama or education into light.
Hanif Sonket upholds many bad practices and social evils in his program. Hanif actually gives mild slap to the worst people in the society. Thus ‘Ityadi’ serves the purpose of public awareness.
Hanif Sonket shows some exclusive documentary reports on different extra-ordinary performances from selective people throughout the country. The people who have talents but cannot flourish because of poverty or lack of scope get chance to show their charisma in the ‘Ityadi’.
The reports on the foreigners and foreign historical places are really excellent. Hanif Sonket gives Bangla dialogues to some selected parts of English films which become very comical and entertaining. Besides, he introduces many famous historical places that are very enjoyable and knowledgeable.
Actually ‘Ityadi’ is favourite for many reasons. It gives sharp entertainment as well as lesson to the audience. Behind every item of ‘Ityadi’ there is a specific purpose. The purpose is creating social awareness of the people. Ityai always shows something different from any other TV program in Bangladesh. So ‘Ityadi’ is my favourite TV program.
