VSthis time,Intercity will indeed return to the small screen. France Télévisions has given its agreement for this emblematic game to be broadcast on the air again, according to Nice morning. In 2020, a project to revive the summer program could not come to fruition due to the Covid-19 pandemic. “We prefer to postpone the filming and wait until all the sanitary conditions are met rather than taking risks. But we believe in this show, we are not abandoning the project, ”said at the time to the Parisian the production of the game, the last broadcast of which dates back to 2013.
But this time it’s the right one. The show will air again next summer. While Bruno Guillon, Olivier Minne and Valérie Bègue were strongly expected two years ago to host the show, only Bruno Guillon should ultimately participate. He should co-present the game alongside Nagui. This new version will be produced by Air Productions, the company belonging to the animator of France 2. Sign of the progress of the project, several shootings are already planned, in the spring, at Futuroscope in particular.
Farewell cows
If the show has become cult, it is also through this famous phrase “top à la vachete!” “Except that the new version will not offer animals on the air, in the name of animal welfare, indicates the regional daily. A decision already endorsed by Nagui, two years ago, when he announced that he wanted to produce a new version of this cult game, created in 1962 by Guy Lux and Claude Savarit. “For two years, I animated Intercity and given what was happening with these animals, I do not want to reproduce that “, had justified the facilitator.

The genesis of the returnIntercity is directly linked to a survey, reports the daily. At the start of the school year, France Télévisions had asked viewers which programs they missed the most for the 30th anniversary of the group. Whether This is not rocket science and 30 million friends came out on top, the show Intercity placed third. A place which, obviously, convinced the management to really relaunch the program, ten years after the last broadcast.
