A return to the top! After more than twenty years of absence, The Bigdil was relaunched this Thursday, January 2 by RMC Story and many nostalgic people were there to attend the event, and find the credits and the setting of the game hosted by Vincent Lagaf’ and his extra-terrestrial friend Bill…
The Bigdil’ : a record never reached in 10 years on TNT!
The show, which has not aged a bit, allowed TNT channel 23 to land in fourth place in the evening’s audiences, surpassing M6 and The Best Pastry Chefattracting an average of 1.8 million viewers and 9.1% of the public! But that’s not all. On two commercial targets highly coveted by advertisers, namely women responsible for purchases under 50 and 25-49 year olds, RMC Story was the first national channel of the evening. In the history of TNT in France, only one program has done better at this time: the film Hunger Games on D8… In 2015! And finally, the opinion of Internet users was unanimous: the first issue was “a flawless“! It is therefore a real triumph with which Vincent Lagaf’ (who gave a behind-the-scenes tour of the game to Télé 7 Jours) is satisfied, in all humility, with our colleagues from Le Parisien.
Vincent Lagaf’ hit by the Bigdil’ card
“We always hope that a show will work but, at this level, we didn’t expect it. This success shows that I was right to refuse three times. Because this time they let me do what I wanted, like before. They trusted the old man. I have to thank Stéphane Sallé de Chou (the general director of the channel), who had the idea of doing it. Antoine Henriquet, who had the funds to produce it, and the entire team who made it possible. (…) It makes you smile while drinking your coffee this morning. It’s very pleasant. I tell myself that the year is off to a good start. (…) I enjoy it. I received messages from all my old friends, including some who hadn’t called me in twenty years“, confides the host who will be on the air once a week. Despite this immense success, RMC Story has decided to change the broadcast day of Bigdil’ : from January 10, the channel will broadcast the game every Friday at 9:10 p.m.
