The program describes how to properly cut, store and burn wood. In telethon musical and poetic inserts will be also provided. One of the guests is Lars Myutting, an author of the bestseller about the fires. His book “Hel Ved” (Strong character) in the Norwegian charts has yielded only to “Fifty Shades of Grey” and totally more than 130,000 copies was sold – an impressive figure considering the whole Norway’s population of 5 million people.
Meanwhile 12 hours is not a record for the tv-program on Norwegian television.
In 2011, NRK introduced 134-hour program about a cruise ship traveling to the Arctic. It still holds the record for the duration of the program on TV. Rating services report that at its peak an incredible marathon was contemplated by 3.2 million Norwegians – it is 60% of the country, reports Reuters.
An eight-hour program about the trip from Oslo to Bergen was so popular that it had to be repeated.
