Claire chazal biography tf1 journal 20h

So, I made the 20H on TF1 today.

Tadpole cried all the way through it (because I dared to put my finger to my lips and say “shhh”) so I didn’t actually hear a great deal the first time around. I just moaned “oh god, why did I have to be having a bad skin day?” over and over again. And rocked back and forth in the foetal position on my (now very famous) scarlet bed.

I just can’t believe they cut the part where I was accosted by a harmonica playing madman in the bar, or the wonderful sequence in which I bought a nice, ripe melon from the fruit and veg store. Or the very staged scene where I pretended to tidy Tadpole’s bedroom. But all in all, not bad. And yes, my lovely editor is French too, even though she works for Penguin in England…

NB The cover image you can see at the end is the picture I used for the front page of my book proposal – it’s an illustration by the super talented Lucy Pepper.

Big thanks to my good friend Rhino75 who worked the YouTube magic in close collaboration with the one and only Miss Kitty.

Au lit avec petite

Et oui, finalement j’ai passé au 20H de TF1 aujourd’hui.

Tadpole (ma fille) a pleuré pendant tout le long (parce que j’ai osé lui dire “chut!”, la main sur les lèvres) et donc je n’ai pas entendu grande chose au premier visionnage. Je me suis simplement contentée de répéter “mais pourquoi je devais avoir une si mauvaise peau ce jour-là?” plusieurs fois, avant de me mettre dans la position foetale sur mon lit écarlate désormais célèbre.

Je n’arrive pas à croire qu’ils ont coupé la séquence où j’ai été pris en ôtage par un fou jouant son harmonica dans le bar (il voulait vraiment me voler la vedet

According to a big rumor, Michel ROCARD would be about to resign from his post of Prime Minister and would be replaced by Edith CRESSON, Jean-Louis BIANCO, Michel DELEBARRE, or Elisabeth GUIGOU... Yet, the Council of Ministers on this Wednesday took place "normally", according to the official version... Nevertheless, journalists and photographers waiting for Michel ROCARD at the exit showed an unusual agitation in the courtyard of the Elysée... Comment on factual images, reaction of the main interested party who is content, ironically, with a "Hi everyone!" , and Pierre BEREGOVOY (Minister of the Economy), Jean POPEREN (Minister for Relations with Parliament), Alain DECAUX (Minister for La Francophonie), and Philippe MARCHAND (Minister of the Interior), then address during the weekly report of the Council of Ministers, Louis LE PENSEC (government spokesman) who refuses to comment "a rumor" (this will indeed be the last Council of Ministers of Michel Rocard, which will be replaced by Edith Cresson... the rumour was therefore founded... NDD).
