During the holidays, Jean-Pierre Foucault replaces Thomas Isle at the presentation of “Media culture” on Europe 1. And this April 15, 2024, the host received the actor Francis Perrin, on the radio. And the star of the series “Mongeville“, always broadcast on C8 on Wednesday evening after “Do not touch My TV”spoke about her departure from France 3.
“I didn’t know I was laundry“
Curious to understand why the fiction in which he appeared between 2013 and 2021, and which enjoyed great success on France television, was stopped overnight, Jean-Pierre Foucault stirred up a painful memory for the 76-year-old actor …
Still angry, after 3 years, Francis Perrin replied: “I never got a phone call to tell me it was stopping. It’s something (…) Then, not even: ‘Thank you for all these years when you were a hit every Saturday night’ (…) Afterwards, I was told that it was a brand change. I said, ‘I didn’t know I was laundry.’“. For him, “it was a bit of a shame“, because the program “was a hit on France 3“. He in fact estimated, this Monday: “I wasn’t even told that it had been transferred to C8. It was incomprehensible! Even if I was happy afterwards!“.
“It’s a shame there wasn’t a sequel.“
Today, Francis Perrin comes to promote the play “The Duplex“, which he plays at the Paris theater, and he welcomes the winning transfer of Mongeville to the TNT channel. He believes in fact: “But what is understandable is that the audience loves ‘Mongeville’, follows it and re-follows it. These are reruns. It’s amazing. It’s a shame there wasn’t a sequel.“, greeted the actor.
