Comedian and actor Fred Testot will be on TF1 on Monday, in the last two episodes of season 5 of the "Sam" series.
Guest of "Culture Médias" Thursday, he remembers at the microphone of Philippe Vandel of his teacher of CM1, a pedagogue out of the nails, like the main character of the series.
INTERVIEW
Sam, the main character of the TF1 series of the same name, made the success of TF1 Monday evenings.
This free and whimsical teacher (played by actress Natacha Lindinger) is not so far from reality, according to Fred Testot, one of the main actors in this fiction.

Thursday, he explains having had in CM1 a similar teacher who came out of the nails of the National Education and left him a memory still very vivid today.
"I had a 'Sam' in fourth grade. It was amazing because there were no more grades," he recalls.
"There was no more first, no more last".

An idyll that only lasted a year
His days as a CM1 student were indeed very different from what many have known.
"Every morning, we debated what we had done yesterday or what our parents were saying," says Fred Testot.
"We did theater, kayaking, rollerblading…" Fred Testot remembers that this atypical teacher had thus transformed the dynamics of the class.
"She had succeeded in making a team of us," he explains.
"The last one was no longer at the back of the class, near the radiator. He could be in front, he was perhaps very good at the theater."
But this school year with his "Sam" has obviously come to an end.
"Of course, when I found myself in CM2 with a teacher a bit old-fashioned, it was a little less good," he laughs.
