This Sunday evening was dedicated to Franco-Belgian comedy. And in this little game, it was TF1 which won with yet another rebroadcast of “Nothing to Declare”. The feature film by and with Dany Boon, who shares the bill with Benoît Poelvoorde, made people laugh 3,60 millions of viewers. This corresponds to 19,7% of the public aged 4 and over and 26,0% on the target of women responsible for purchasing aged under 50 (FRDA-50).

The last broadcast of the comedy, which was a hit in theaters in 2010 with more than 8 million admissions, attracted 4.72 million viewers on Sunday May 20, 2022, still on TF1. At the time, the film attracted 25.2% of the general public and 32.1% of the FRDA-50.

France 3 takes second place on the podium with a new episode of “Enquêtes de Vera”. “Hit and Run”, the first episode of season 13 of the British soap opera with Brenda Blethyn, intrigued 3,04 millions of viewers, or 15,3% of the public and 2,5% FRDA-50s. Last year, the start of season 12 brought together 3.30 million faithful (15.5% of the public aged 4 and over and 2.5% of the FRDA-50).

France 2, which for its part was banking on a new comedy, “Men on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown”, is third. The film directed by Audrey Dana with a five-star cast (Thierry Lhermitte, Ramzy Bedia, François-Xavier Demaison…) won on average 3,01 millions of viewers, according to Médiamétrie. This is equivalent to 15,5% individuals aged 4 and over. Last week, La Deux broadcast “Pupille”, a drama on adoption directed by Jeanne Herry and carried by Élodie Bouchez, Sandrine Kiberlain and Gilles Lellouche. 2.85 million viewers (14.4% of the public and 7.2% of FRDA-50) were moved by the meeting of Alice (Élodie Bouchez), 41 years old, and Théo, 3 months old.
