  remember with nostalgia this cult program combining scientific popularization and pop culture.

• Some people even believe that it was the origin of their scientific vocation.

With the death of Grichka Bogdanoff, this Tuesday, December 28, the memories of our readers came to the surface, following the physical laws of Archimedes and nostalgia.

Because the Bogdanov brothers, who were not yet Bogdanoff, for you, it was above all

, a program combining science, science fiction and pop culture.

And so iconic of the 1980s. “I must have been 10 years old when I discovered the Bogdanoff twins on television,” recalls Iza.

I didn't always understand what they were saying.

But I really liked playing about who is Igor and who is Grichka!

"

An affection that has endured over the years and the twins' amazing physical transformations “Even with their strange looks I found them so likeable, they even laughed at them.

I was shocked at their age, they looked so young.

"

A totally cult show

You emphasize the UFO and cult character of the show.

An "indelible memory of the Saturdays of my youth", for Céline.

She tells about "the fears in front of the episodes of the

, the trailers of horror films, the futuristic combinations of the two brothers!

".

And yes, it is thanks to the show that many of you have discovered series, now cult.

“I watched

, because we could vote by phone, in order to choose the episode of one of our favorite series,” recalls François.

I discovered

, of which I became a big fan.

But there was also

,

,

Others underline the fascinating side of the whole: the spaceship and its open door to the future.

"I loved the show because it made me travel to the future, me kid from a city" explains Patrick

Above all, you will recall that the program was one of the first to popularize science.

Arousing interest, passion, even… vocations.

An open door to science

“Their presentations were always fluid and precise,” insists Alain.

I think they made it possible to reveal my curiosity for science, which I also studied a few years later at university ”.

Bob, for his part, hails "a faith in science which has helped nurture the vocation of a future engineer".

In a moving message, Céline remembers that

changed her life. Literally and for the best. “I was 12 and had just started college. Their program, so different from those intended for children, opened the field of possibilities for the one who lived in a small town and was the daughter of a worker without any access to science. Their intelligence, their passion burst the screen and the terms used were accessible. Their outfit and their very twinness were flamboyant in a one-color and very conformist provincial world where you had to be transparent to integrate ”.

For her, there is no doubt, “along with Hubert Reeves, they are the ones who allowed me to look at the stars.

Even if I did not become a scientist, I took my Bac C in 1986 and have always been passionate about the Universe and the sciences ever since.

They were one of the doors open to other worlds and made me grow in my quest for answers.

I wanted to thank them for it: each dust of knowledge deposited can one day bring forth a Life.
