The documentary
Robbie Williams
After Pamela Anderson and David Beckham, it’s Robbie Williams’ turn to undergo the trendy treatment in documentaries: we capture the reaction of a celebrity in front of archive extracts. Apart from the strange setting in which the British singer comments on these videos from mothballs (in bed, in underwear, in a semi-recumbent position, looking slightly magané), the exercise is rather successful. The four episodes entertain, especially the first, when we show images of Take That, the boy band that he formed with four other budding New Kids on the Block in the early 1990s. Since we finished watching, Angels, Back for Good And Rock DJ play on loop in our heads.

Gisèle Lullaby in Drags – The queens of pop
Drags – The queens of pop
Go to bed, the children! Mona from Grenoble, Gisèle Lullaby, Barbada and Tracy Trash are coming! (This is obviously sarcasm. Unlike some cranks, the idea of a minor being exposed to the playful world of drag queens does not arouse any feeling of insecurity in us.) In this show produced by Christina Lalumière, the colorful quartet, accompanied by Mado Lamothe, meets their idols: France D’Amour, Marie Denise Pelletier, Patsy Gallant and Mitsou. On the musical program, rereadings of Tell me, tell me from Mitsou, Look at me by Celine Dion, Oxygen by Diane Dufresne, For a one night stand by Marie Denise Pelletier, Sugar Daddy by Patsy Gallant, Alive from France D’Amour and Dance dance by Nanette Workman.

Double occupancy Andalusia
After a season that was much, much too smooth and nice, the result of post-traumatic stress disorder contracted last fall with the bullying affair, the Andalusian edition ofOD ends with the election of the winning couple, after a trip to the Maldives and a live broadcast in front of families and friends hosted by Frédérick Robichaud and Alicia Moffet. As for the People’s Favorite award, which will be presented by Julie Snyder, we anticipate a landslide victory for Céline, the clinical nurse from Moncton. The following weekend (December 3), we fear the worst for the moment of truth, during which producers risk scraping the bottom line to fuel supposed settling of scores.

Véronique Cloutier hosts The rumor machine.
The rumor machine
In this documentary series directed by Daniel Vigneault (1res times, Sweety salty), Véronique Cloutier explores our relationship to gossip. Landing on ICI Tou.tv Extra in December 2022, this KOTV production is still relevant, especially since the call for a boycott of QC Scoop, this gossip site with questionable methods run by Simon Waddell. Remember that at the beginning of the month, the platform put off several personalities (and sponsors) by publishing – without their consent – the photo of a hospitalized singer. Véro confronts Waddell about the ethics of QC Scoop on the show. Let’s say that due to recent developments, the host would have had even more arguments to make her points if the show had just been filmed.
