Just two days before the release of the fifth installment of the Tuche franchise, TF1 is set to rebroadcast the original episode of the series tonight. This provides a perfect opportunity to quiz you on one of the most famous families in French popular cinema.
Having won the lottery, traveled to the United States, entered the presidential race, and celebrated Christmas, the Tuche family is back on the big screen for more adventures, this time heading to the United Kingdom! With the release of this fifth chapter just around the corner, the series’ lead actor, Jean-Paul Rouve, takes over from director Olivier Baroux and steps behind the camera. In anticipation, TF1 is airing the very first episode of the series tonight, providing us with a chance to test your knowledge of this film, which debuted 13 years ago, through a ten-question quiz.
Do you think you know the Tuche family well enough to score perfectly? Before finding out, let’s delve into some behind-the-scenes secrets from the original film.
DID YOU KNOW?
Third Time’s a Charm!
The Tuche is the third project on which Olivier Baroux and Jean-Paul Rouve have collaborated. After acting together in Eric Lartigau’s “Mais qui a tué Pamela Rose?”, Jean-Paul Rouve starred in the first movie directed by Olivier Baroux, “Ce soir, je dors chez toi”.
The Robin Hood Mark
The character of Jeff, the family patriarch portrayed by Jean-Paul Rouve, was inspired by one of the roles he played during his time with the comedy troupe Les Robins des Bois on Canal+ in the sketch “Radio bière foot”. “He was a kind of rock, a monolith who thought and spoke in only one way, never showing his emotions“, explains Olivier Baroux.
Like a Hurricane
On the last day of filming, the entire crew sang “Comme un ouragan”, by Stéphanie de Monaco, who is idolized by Cathy Tuche. Olivier Baroux shares that this is probably the best memory he will keep from this adventure, a moment that audiences can relive during the end credits.
