Years after leaving the small screen, the bigdil is about to make its big comeback! In a few months, the cult show will find its place on television, this time on RMC Story.
For this highly anticipated comeback, the channel has chosen to focus on nostalgia by identically recreating the old set which marked an entire generation.
“It’s Vincent’s desire, he wanted to return to a formula that worked: “The one everyone talks to me about”. This is the formula of the beginnings, with this set, Bill's saucer, the garage… The French are nostalgic for this formula. It suited us very well“, confided Julien Lalande, director of content and programming of RMC Story, in an interview granted to Tele-Leisure.
A broadcast faithful to the first version
Nor the famous musical theme of the credits, “a little remixed but not much“, nor the decor, “brand new and built in France“, have not been modified in order to respect the original spirit of the game show.
“We welcomed his dog and the members of his family have evolved a little. Bill is just a little more rounded. We brought it up to date“, added Julien Lalande. “taste of the day“which doesn't seem to please everyone…
On X (formerly Twitter), Internet users did not mince their words regarding the new appearance of the mythical extraterrestrial.
“It was better done in the 90s”
“It hurts me to criticize for once. I love Gilles Vautier who is a cultured and talented guy. I'm afraid of a Bigdil sub, made too quickly and on the cheap. Then change Bill's appearance is a mistakewhat's more, the voice isn't even well synchronized…“, one fan was indignant.
And others add: “Is this a joke? There is a problem with the mouth joint”, “Frankly, it was better done in the 90s”, “Bill was better beforethere, it looks like he had plastic surgery”, “The utter shame!”, “Um…. It looks like a fake”.
