Who killed Françoise Jouve?
At 66, this cantankerous widow, a big fortune in real estate, was found defenestrated at the bottom of her mansion in Aix en Provence.
Add seven suspects and two investigators, you get the setting
for Find the Culprit.
This new program is particularly close to the heart of Christophe Dechavanne, who co-signs it.
It is even according to him "the most important program of the decade" on which he worked.
"First of all, it's a UFO," he says.
"Because it's very hard to define what this program really is. It is both really a game and it is also really a fiction."
The viewer taken to task
But why is a fiction about an investigation, when there are so many on television, innovative?
"The actors speak directly to the televiewers, who challenge them, who show them images to try to make them discover who is the culprit", explains Christophe Dechavanne.
"When you read a good thriller, you get taken on several tracks. And in this fiction, you are also taken on several tracks. You have to be very careful."
The viewer is thus directly taken to task, with direct access to all the documents to which an investigator may have at his disposal: "telephone tapping, autopsy report, hearing of witnesses, questioning of suspects ...", thus lists Christophe Dechavanne.
"We are really immersed in the middle of a fiction, which takes us to a thriller whose output we do not know."

TV made active
The novelty of this program is therefore to make the viewer a real actor.
"TV is a passive medium," recalls the producer
of Find the Culprit
.
"That is to say that we sit down eating crisps and take what we are given. For once, the TV becomes active. This means that nothing should be missed and that 'you have to think about it. "
The show has everything planned.
If you miss a passage, or want to review an element of the survey live, it is possible.

"We can even review the images of a surveillance camera and get back into the bath to find who killed the victim", specifies Christophe Dechavanne.
To ensure the proper functioning of this show, his production company Coyote even tested it upstream on a sample of viewers.
The first two episodes, and their two independent surveys, are broadcast Sunday at 3:30 p.m. on France 3.
