Reality TV is celebrating its 20th anniversary and several channels such as C8 or TMC have decided to celebrate it with documentaries retracing its history.

Cyril Lignac will lead a new program for M6, a new culinary competition entitled "My cake is the best in France".

He will taste pastries made by amateurs in seven cities in France.

The Clubhouse app will allow some of its most popular users to "monetize their business" - in other words, earn money.

On the front page, a birthday. 

"Secret Story", "Les Anges" or even "Pop Stars".

Reality TV is 20 years old in France.

It was in April 2001 that she arrived on our screens with “Loft Story” on M6, an adaptation of a Dutch format called “Big Brother”.

An anniversary that some chains have chosen to celebrate like C8, for example, with a bonus presented by the ex-host of the “Loft”, Benjamin Castaldi, this Thursday evening.

TMC will broadcast a documentary on the evolution of reality television over the past 20 years.

How, from “Loft Story, did we get to“ Reality TV Angels ”?

This is the question that this two-part film attempts to answer.

The first is broadcast this evening, there will be a long discussion of the Loft.

A choice assumed by its director, Simone Mortimer.

The show, she says, turned television and society upside down.

And with all these new features, M6 had signed several audience records.

The documentary returns to this enthusiasm of viewers.

It also tells about the spontaneity and freshness of the candidates (like two of them, Christophe and Julie, who had met in the Loft and who are still in a relationship today).

A spontaneity, a freshness that has somewhat disappeared over the years because reality TV has quickly become professional.

Simone Mortimer, director of the two-part documentary “20 years of reality TV”.

The first part “from the Loft to Secret Story” airs this Wednesday evening at 9:15 pm on TMC and the second will be next week.

With as voice-over, that of Secret Story (La Voix) Dominique Duforest.

A new show for Cyril Lignac on M6

A new culinary competition entitled “My cake is the best in France”.

A daily which will be broadcast at 6.35 p.m., instead of “La Meilleure Boulangerie de France”.

Cyril Lignac will taste pastries made by amateurs in seven cities in France.

To decide between them, several tests and a jury composed of a former candidate of Top Chef Merouan Bounekraf and three food journalists, Louise Petitrenaud, Pépée Le Mat and Luana Belmondo.

They will select one candidate per city who will then qualify for the show's final.

“My cake is the best in France”, the first episode will be broadcast in a little less than three weeks, on Monday April 26 on M6. 

M6 whose SDJ responded to accusations against a report that has been talked about a lot in recent days. 

Report, broadcast last Friday, on the organization of illegal dinners in Paris.

Dinners that would have been organized, for some, by Pierre-Jean Chalençon.

He denies and accuses the editorial staff of M6 of having spread slander.

“We refute these statements,” write the members of the SDJ, who maintain the information of the report.

They also specify that the presence, at these dinners, of at least one member of the government has been confirmed to them by several sources, “off”.

The TV movie “Vulnerable”, finally broadcast tonight as a bonus on France 2.

It was to be on October 16, the day of the assassination of history professor Samuel Paty.

He had been deprogrammed at the last moment.

“Vulnerable” is a fiction that focuses on unaccompanied foreign minors.

It is Léa Drucker who holds the main role, that of an educator responsible for the evaluation of these children and adolescents, and in particular of one of them, a young Afghan of twelve years that she decides to host at her place.

A subject which particularly touched the actress and which made her decide to accept the role.

But deciding to shoot a fiction that deals with a topical subject involves a great responsibility, that of not falling into the cliché.

Léa Drucker was asked if she had been afraid to treat this reality through the prism of fiction.

“Vulnerable”, with Léa Drucker but also Romane Bohringer, Thierry Godard and the young Ilyès Lihiouel is broadcast this evening at 9:05 pm on France 2.

New in the Clubhouse app.

“A new brick in his building under construction”, as “Les Echos” wrote on Wednesday morning.

Clubhouse will allow some of its most popular users to monetize their business, in other words earn money.

100% of the payment will go to the creator ”, announces the application, a sort of social network that only goes through sound, through voice exchanges.

The objective is twofold: to retain them and attract other big names, and therefore new subscribers.  

We know the subject of the first documentary produced by Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.

A documentary series, precisely, on the “Invictus Games”, a sports competition reserved for soldiers wounded in the war and become disabled.

Competition whose creation, seven years ago, owes a lot to Prince Harry, it is he who is the inspiration.

In this series, which will be broadcast on Netflix, we will be able to follow the preparation of the participants for the next edition which will take place next year.
