our selection for Saturday November 16

This evening, you have the choice: put on the crampons on TF1, the explorer’s outfit on Arte, or the sailor top on France 3. Three programs, three atmospheres.

Alleezzzzz les bleuus: “Rugby: France/New Zealand”

Newbies (like the writer of these lines) assume that this meeting, although purely friendly, may have an interest. The pros, like my colleague Michel Bezbakh, know: this France/New Zealand is unmissable. It seems, moreover, that the French are favorites… Get your beers, set, go!

At 9 p.m. on TF1. Live.

In search of lost time: “Egypt: investigation into the necropolis of the sacred bulls”

Devoted to the site of Saqqara, this erudite documentary, with beautiful computer-generated images, is the result of a long-term collaboration between the Egyptologists of the Louvre and the director Frédéric Wilner, a good popularizer.

At 8:50 p.m. on Arte. Documentary directed by Frédéric Wilner. (France, 2022). 95 mins. Rebroadcast.

Corpses in the land: “Murders at Pointe du Raz”

A pious childminder is found dead on the shore… Who could have done this? Well written and extremely complex, this Finistère section of Murders at… turns out to be completely convincing: we admit, Brittany wins us over.

At 10:40 p.m. on France 3. Series (France, 2021). 95 mins. With Évelyne Bouix, David Kammenos. Rebroadcast.
