The hell of Matignon

For the first time, the Prime Ministers of France are brought together in a documentary series to bear witness to a unique experience: the hell of Matignon. Pierre Messmer, Raymond Barre, Pierre Mauroy, Laurent Fabius, Michel Rocard, Edith Cresson, Edouard Balladur, Alain Juppé, Lionel Jospin, Jean-Pierre Raffarin, Dominique de Villepin, and François Fillon have all agreed to participate. Those who have governed France for the past 35 years speak candidly about the practice of power, a story chronicled through archival footage. As the Fifth Republic approaches its 50th anniversary, and texts envisioning a Sixth are being published, the position of Prime Minister—torn between the President and Parliament, appointed without necessarily being elected, yet responsible for everything—is at the heart of the debate.

Belle, Sebastian and the Horses

Belle, Sebastian and the Horses was a children's television programme from 1968. It was a sequel to the earlier Belle and Sebastian, and also starred Mehdi El Glaoui as Sebastian. It was filmed in France as "Sébastien parmi les hommes" as 13 colour episodes, and re-titled by the BBC. In it, Sebastian goes to spend some time on a horse ranch. The English title may be a slight misnomer as the dog Belle only appears fairly briefly, she is separated from the horses after she reacts negatively barking at them. It was not quite as successful as the earlier series, although it was repeated a couple of times by the BBC after its first screening in late 1968, and also shown once by RTE.
