Slow news week.
However, @artbegotti pointed a video out to me this afternoon claiming it to be a bit Fort Boyard-esque, whilst also being from the mind of Bother’s Bar favourite Aussie comedian Shaun Micallef – as it turns out the very sketch somebody introduced me to his show with:
(Incidentally there’s usually a “gameshow segment” in The Micallef P(r)ogram(me), many of which are very funny indeed so do check them out.)
Fort Boyard already has “pied marin” – sea legs, and it’s one of our favourite games. But imagine something a bit puzzlier and spatial awareness-y, how incredible could it be? Would probably require one of the Fort’s bigger rooms, especially if it would have to rotate.
Speaking of Aussie comics, it looks like the second series of Bother’s Bar favourite 31 Questions is wrapping up filming soon, so fingers crossed it won’t be long until broadcast!
Meanwhile they’re looking for contestants for The Million Pound Drop, if you want a go you can apply here.
*ping!*
Today’s next word is gimbal – gimbal – and I’m going to guess that your sketch was filmed pretty much like the way Fred Astaire danced across the ceiling sixty years ago. Still hugely impressive that they would go to the effort of making one for a single sketch, mind.
They could just revive Toile d’Araignée. That was a great game. Set it outside, dangle it above the sea, possibly spin it across another axis at the same time, bosh.
Some Patrice Laffont old things popped up on Youtube

I do find this quite fascinating, potentially there are 10,000 different phone numbers for that viewer end game, did they have to buy them all up? Did people get large amounts of phone calls to wrong numbers? Fascinating. Also I note that it seems pretty clear that only the part after the commercials was live and the rest looks like a pre-record.
FRENCH KEYNOTES!
