When the last stage of the Tour de France arrives, it’s high time to set sail and we can no longer count on the small screen to fill our summer evenings. It’s an indisputable fact: the finish line on the Champs-Elysées marks the beginning of the soft underbelly of the year’s TV programs. And there, good luck for the next three or four weeks… The reruns of Four weddings for a honeymooninvestigations into the chipolata business or the fake Corsican sausage…
But all is not lost. Between two episodes of The house party and an old report on judicial officers, a few programs should brighten up this month of August a little. TF1 and M6 notably reserve new features for the return from the beach, and France Télévisions a final not to be missed.
Camping vs large families
Big program for the week of August 8 on TV. On Mondays at 4:05 p.m., M6 launches a brand new daily program for young and old: My very large family. The pitch? “They have between 6 and 10 children and have to manage an extraordinary daily life. Follow 6 families day by day, in total immersion, in the small as well as the great moments of life, ”details a press release. Reminds you of something? We really don’t see what… If you like to hear children screaming (a lot of children even), you shouldn’t mind.
And why not continue with Camping family: our life at the campsite on TF1? At 5:30 p.m., the channel also offers its summer novelty, a daily on campsites, as its name suggests. We invite you to follow the daily life of five families who run a campsite, with diverse and varied profiles: “in a campsite which is celebrating its 40th anniversary, in another establishment where all the members of the family take part in shows XXL or even with a family embarking on their first season, you will follow all these professionals in a decisive moment of their season”. The ultimate being to watch Family campsite while being himself with his little family at the campsite, of course.
superstar drag queen
After seven weeks of competition, France 2 will broadcast the grand finale of Drag Race France at midnight on the night of August 13 to 14. And for those who don’t stay up so late, or for the impatient, this eighth and final episode will be available two days before, Thursday 11, on France.tv. Yes, a broadcast like that in the middle of August, exactly during the holidays, it’s not terrible terrible. And even less if it falls in full silent retreat in a white zone. But we make a little effort, we squat on the neighbors’ TV if our vacation rental doesn’t have one, we take a VPN if we’re abroad or we break our retirement if that’s the case, because anyway way it is not by eating raw vegetables and remaining silent that you will be happier. Who will be crowned the queen of queens in this first season? At this stage, six drag queens can still claim the title: Lolita Banana, La Grande Dame, Soa de Muse, La Big Bertha, Elips and Paloma. Your predictions?
love on tv
You don’t care about our TV advice because all you’re waiting for is to find Love is in the meadow in September ? We respect, but know all the same that M6 reserves a bonus for its sentimental viewers. On Monday, August 8 at 9:05 p.m., the channel will broadcast 20 years of love on television, a program that will retrace all the dating shows broadcast in France in recent years. We will of course find Karine Le Marchand there, but also Greg the millionaire, Love is blindthe legendary The Z’amours or temptation island. What good memories, in short. A piece of advice, however: if you’re single and loneliness weighs on you, and if on top of that you haven’t been able to go on vacation, skip a report on the kings of the barbecue, it will save you the Monday night blues.
Eric Antoine’s new game
Viewers loved it in Lego Masters, and he returns to lead a new entertainment. Next Monday (yes, we won’t be in August yet, but almost), Eric Antoine will present Who can beat us?, a new TV game broadcast as a bonus on M6. The principle ? Six experts from the channel will join forces and pool their knowledge to face 100 candidates who will challenge them in a series of questions. Who are these points? The stars of M6: Philippe Etchebest, Hélène Ségara, Mac Lesggy, Marie Portolano, Cristina Cordula and Eric Antoine – who therefore has two hats –. You have to love quizzes of course (but who doesn’t?), but the idea of this new game is rather enticing. And it’s also an opportunity to discover Philippe Etchebest other than by grumbling behind the stoves or Cristina Cordula scared in front of an H-shaped silhouette that thinks she’s a V-shaped silhouette.
