After Dalida, Thierry Ardisson has decided to revive Coluche in a new number of “Hôtel du temps” broadcast on France 3 this Friday, June 23, 2023. An episode for which the host and producer collaborated hand in hand with the sons of the comedian who died 37 years ago. “I don’t have to ask the heirs for their opinion, but I do so out of ethics. So I contacted the children of Coluche who wanted to be co-screenwriters.he indeed explained to our colleagues from TV Magazine.
“What may seem like a constraint turned out to be a very good thing because they brought a lot. Documents, archives, texts from their father that I didn’t have. And then at the level of the scenario, they had good ideas. One day, Romain said to me: “Thierry, you are your baby, we are our dad”. added Thierry Ardisson.

A collaboration not easy
A collaboration that has not been easy for the television man. And for good reason, on the occasion of the release of this new issue on their late father, Romain and Marius Colucci explained to our colleagues that they had been extremely fussy. “ It’s true, we really pissed him off! We were supposed to shoot in September 2021, we put a year in his face! He certainly thought we would act like Orlando, but we re-did the whole script. The structure has remained the same: we start with the end, that is to say the Restos du Cœur, Cannes and “The Game of Truth”, we then talk about the one-man-shows then the cinema and finally childhood. We haven’t changed what we say, but how we say it.explained Marius Colucci.
A desire of the two sons of Coluche to want to tell their dad in the most faithful way which justifies the reason why this number of “Hôtel du temps” took longer than expected to be shot… “It was a battle, but Thierry ended up understanding and today he readily admits: “You did well to piss me off. The final version is much better and more interesting,” concluded Marius Colucci. A biopic that traces the life of the creator of Restos du Cœur to discover this Friday, June 23, 2023 at 9 p.m.
