Two inseparable couples who form a great team, they are in charge of preparing cars and sets, while Charo and Encarni are in charge of making the costumes, in such a way that we have seen them dressed as Policemen, Firefighters, parodying advertisements and programs. of television, of Monarchs, Princes and Princesses, of chefs with some other star and an endless number of characterizations, each more amusing.
