I couldn't quite believe my eyes, or ears, either. It was very French. Normal in France. For a British Saturday night? Not so much. I suppose it makes a change from the bland stuff we usually get. Wonder if Graham Naughton will have him on? I spent the whole three minutes (was it three minutes? Felt like half an hour) trying to decide if it was awful or genius.

What a great show! Hope it wins loads of awards.
