The team now have to earn the right to enter by finding medallions in various places at the fort&#8217;s entrance, there are new walkways around the fort, a new &#8220;bit&#8221;\u00a0called The Cage where teams duel off against Pere Fouras&#8217; all-star celebrity team for keys under the auspices of Rouge (Blanche&#8217;s twin sister) and even the fort&#8217;s basement is back in use for prisoners to escape from against the clock. Hurrah!<\/p>\n<p>Pere Fouras is going big on celebrity characters this year, six former contestants make up the All-Stars, the watchtower has turned from the Magic Academy into the Boyard Academy, featuring a rotating set of experts to puzzle the teams (although last year&#8217;s Vincent C remains one of them), comedian Willy Rovelli still has his restaurant and actress and former Miss France Delphine Wespiser continues playing Judge Blanche, but also plays twin sister Rouge.<\/p>\n<p>There are five new cells and three new adventures but once again the focus of the new stuff seems to be on the extra-curricular &#8211; the assault on the fort, the cage, the great escape and undoubtably there will be new games in the Council as well.<\/p>\n<p>It all sounds very exciting, it&#8217;s tempered rather by the fact episodes are looking at 2:10-15 in length (much preferred it around 1:30, although it&#8217;s been some years since that happened), and we very much hope the new games are of the mechanical variety and not &#8220;the producer feels like pushing a button to release the key&#8221; variety. We hope not to feel the hands of the production too much and there is not a need to basically fix things to make other things happen.<\/p>\n<p>Fingers crossed for a classic vintage!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Saturdays from June 27th, 7:50UK\/8:50 in France, France 2 \/ Pluzz.fr (will require a VPN or alternative) \/ or see below.
