TF1 deprograms Gladiators due to low audiences and liquidates its last three issues
The channel's decision to deprogram its new show comes after a poor audience this Friday, January 3. If the program had not already aroused the curiosity of viewers last Friday December 27, TF1 was largely dethroned by the prime time of competing channels. With only 862,000 viewers, Gladiators ranked far behind Caesar Wagner (France 2), The Secret Box (France 3), Beauty and the Beast (M6) and Le Comte de Monte Cristo (Canal+). Despite everything, la Une will liquidate its last three pre-recorded issues of Gladiators on Friday January 10, in the second and third parts of the eveninginstead of Friday anything goes with Arthur.
An Arthur show will replace Gladiators in prime time on Friday on TF1
If the broadcast of the new show played by Denis Brogniart, Hélène Mannarino and Jean-Pierre Foucault had been announced in prime time every Friday, Gladiators will give way on Friday January 10 to the show by ventriloquist Jeff Panaclocaffirms The Parisian. While on Friday January 17, the headlines should bounce back with a show presented by Arthur: Tourists. However, the production had all the cards in hand with its new game adapted from the American show: “It's an absolutely cult show in the United States, it's become an incredible phenomenon, this show there is legendary. In the UK they have had several versions for 25 years and the relaunched version this winter was a huge success. It was the biggest prime time launch on BBC One in 7 or 8 years“, noted Matthieu Grelier, director of programs and development at ITV Studios France. Nothing therefore suggested the failure of the program.
