From Monday to Friday in Media Culture, Eva Roque gives you her TV tips for the evening.

This Wednesday, she offers us two programs that give us a lesson in cinema.

“To be or not to be James Bond” is on Histoire TV at 8:50 pm and “Blier, Leconte, Tavernier, trois vies de cinéma” is on Ciné + emotion at 7:30 pm.

What does tomorrow's zapping look like?

Are we going to be able to relax in front of our screens?

Yes thanks to the cinema.

Not to cinema films, but thanks to two cinema lessons.

The first is to be enjoyed on Histoire TV, a stunning documentary on George Lazenby.

The only man to have played the most famous spy only once: James Bond.

It was after Sean Connery, in 1969 in "On Her Majesty's Secret Service".

And it is George Lazenby himself who tells this story, his story too.

That of an Australian kid whose doctors had predicted death before he was 12 for health reasons.

All his life was a series of encounters.

Car mechanic, then car salesman, he was spotted by a photographer, became a model and imposed himself on the James Bond cast, telling producers that he had played a lot in his life.

Except that in front of the director Peter Hunt, he confesses his lie.

He never got any role.

The documentary is a series of incredible anecdotes, interspersed with the story of the sexual escapades of George Lazenby who decided not to star in another James Bond.

Despite the promised million dollars.

You have to see the documentary to understand why.

Same cinematographic jubilation on Cine + emotion which offers us a huge lesson in cinema.

A conversation between Bertrand Blier, Patrice Leconte and Bertrand Tavernier.

Here they are side by side to tell about their cinema.

Leconte, for example, loves the timing of spotting, but with a rule that is not to Blier's taste.

Bertrand Tavernier, him, returns on the difficulties to finance his films.

Even when it comes to producing "L'horloger de Saint Paul" with Philippe Noiret.

Three filmmakers, three lovers of actors and actresses.

But sometimes things don't always go well like between Jean Rochefort and Patrice Leconte, who was then making his first film, the toilets are closed from the inside.

The two men made peace and together shot several other films including the magnificent "Husband of the hairdresser".

This Wednesday evening, broadcast of the first part of this delicious conversation between directors, punctuated by extracts from the films.

To sum up :

- "To be or not to be James Bond" is on Histoire TV at 8:50 pm

- And "Blier, Leconte, Tavernier, trois vies de cinéma" is on Ciné + emotion at 7:30 p.m.
