The return ofIntervilles becomes clearer. Nagui will be back at the helm of the game in 2025 on France 2 for a new season, the first in fifteen years. The host was the guest of Aurélie Casse in C the weekly on France 5 this Saturday, November 23, 2024.
Boycott of Intervilles: Nagui responds to the mayor of Mont-de-Marsan
The host showed her guest a video message from the mayor of Mont-de-Marsan, who with that of Dax and that of Bayonne, will not participate in Intervilles because of the absence of cows. “The Landais are civilized people, we love our animals. So Nagui, think carefully. I think you can put the cows back in Intervilles. This game is linked to the Landes cow because it is unpredictable, it is playful, that's where there are the bowls, the comical aspect. So come see us here, you are invited and maybe you will change your mind”, declares in this video the elected official who called for a boycott of the program. Nagui then reacted: “It's very nice, (…) so thank you, Mr. Mayor, for the invitation. I have no doubt that Landes cows are happy in the wild. That's why I would like them to remain happy in the wild. I think there are plenty of people who play games in the pool in the summer, without there necessarily being a cow in their pool. I don't believe it's a cow's natural element to be in a swimming pool or on a track with black soap“.
Nagui marked by the death of a cow in Intervilles
If he “don't accuse anyone of mistreating“, Nagui remains traumatized by a tragedy that occurred in 2005 when he was already the producer ofIntervilles : “In 2005, a cow died during rehearsals. So when you're doing the rehearsals, you're laughing and (…) the cow stops and collapses… You're not having a hard time, honestly. There is no mistreatment, she could perhaps have died free in her field, she died before our eyes. Was the game responsible at that time for this incident, this accident, when they are normally in the prime of life? I don't know anything about it“. The presenter also remembers “impaled candidates, (…) with cracked ribs. We will continue to have events where things slip, where things fall, where things slip. But today there are no television shows with any animals.“, he concluded.
