Groland
Parodic news programme focusing on the fictional country Groland (full name: Presipality of Groland), airing on French television channel Canal+.
Tout le monde en parle
Tout le monde en parle is a French talk show broadcast on France 2 from September 5, 1998 to July 8, 2006. It was hosted by Thierry Ardisson and produced by Catherine Barma. During its first season, the show took the form of societal debates; it was in September 1999 that it was re-formatted into a talk-show. The show features guests who are making news at the moment, including actors, writers, singers, politicians and athletes. Guests discuss their life and engage in thematic interviews. The show gradually acquired a provocative reputation, notably since the host does not hesitate to ask political guests questions about their private and sexual lives. With Thierry Ardisson as the main host, he was first accompanied by Laurent Ruquier and Linda Hardy. Later, he turned to duos Éric and Ramzy, then Kad and Olivier. Finally, he opted for comedian Lauren Baffie as co-host, until the end of the show.

Arrabal et les Garçons
The cinema of Benoît Delépine and Gustave Kervern is reminiscent of the one of Fernando Arrabal. This is why the two troublemakers of "Groland" invited the septuagenarian filmmaker to make an appearance in their film "Avida". This documentary, peppered with film excerpts, follows the Groland festival's progress with Arrabal as president.
