The expression "take the temperature of the public" is now understood in the proper sense on French television in the context of an epidemic of coronavirus. At least on the side of the daily broadcasts of Nagui on France 2. As Le Parisien tells us on Wednesday, the spectators of Tout le tout monde wants to take their place , some unpublished films being filmed this week, must submit to the thermometer before d 'enter the set.
According to our information, it will be the same for the filming of Don't forget the lyrics planned for next week. "If members of the public have a fever, they are invited to go home and consult a doctor," informs a source close to the production.
Certificate to sign
In addition, the employees, spectators, candidates, technicians and providers of these two games must sign a certificate ensuring "that they have not visited one of the countries where the virus is circulating, that they have not rubbed shoulders with people having stayed in these countries and that they have taken note of the preventive measures described by the Ministry of Health and comply with them ”. Thermometers, hydroalcoholic gel and reminders of precautions are also provided for the technical teams.
Despite this device, many people prefer not to move to the TV sets. With our colleagues in Paris , the public manager of Everyone wants to take their place , estimates that “30 to 40%” the cancellation rate since the appearance of the first cases of coronavirus in France. Some shows have decided to do without audiences. This is the case of Téléfoot and C'est Canteloup on TF1.
As for shows, concerts and festivals, many shootings have been postponed. New numbers of Intervilles were to be boxed at the beginning of April at Disneyland Paris for France 2, or they were canceled until further notice, recalls Ozap. The media site also reports that a folk dance competition scheduled for recording on April 10 has also been postponed to a later date. The competition was to be hosted by Cyril Féraud.
TF1 follows the evolution of the situation
The presenter of France 3 must also put an end to the special program as part of La Nuit de la Bretagne. This show "which wanted to marry all forms of expression of Breton culture, traditional and contemporary" was to be held on March 7 at the Paris La Défense Aréna. But the government having prohibited gatherings of more than 5,000 people in confined spaces - a ban extended to gatherings of more than 1,000 people a week later - the event was canceled. "For us, this is a year of work reduced to nothing and therefore a very painful feeling of frustration", deplored Olivier Sévère, the executive producer of the show in a press release.
According to Ozap, TF1 is monitoring developments closely. The coronavirus epidemic could jeopardize the filming plan envisaged for District Z , a new project by Arthur, as well as the live bonuses of The Voice to be held in April at the Dôme in Paris.
For the time being, these disturbances on the side of French channels seem minimal compared to their Italian counterparts. Mediaset has thus suspended some of its programs such as Verissimo and Domenica Live to give priority to news programs, as relayed by the Italian Vanity Fair . Others take place in empty stages for all audiences and where recorded applause responds to the presenters. The talk show Quarta Repubblica was stopped after its host, Nicola Porro, tested positive for coronavirus.
