The episode, entitled “Against the flow”, is headlined by David Hallyday, surrounded by Romane Bohringer and Olivier de Benoist. Written by Robin Barataud, it was initially expected on Friday October 4 but was canceled by France 2.

France 2 therefore broadcast the feature film “I find you very beautiful”, in which Michel Blanc played the main role. A tribute which was widely followed, since 5.17 million French people (29.1% audience share) were gathered to watch Isabelle Mergault’s film.
