Turn horse-gear

Tournez horse-gear was a matrimonial play of French television presented by Evelyne Leclercq, Simone Garnier and Fabienne Égal and diffused every midday on TF1 of September 9th 1985 to July 4th 1993.

Presentation

The play is inspired by the American emission The Dating Game : three men and two women (or the reverse) installed in a horse-gear without possibility of seeing itself were to mutually put questions in order to determine the personality of the other candidates and to determine that which would have its preference. At the end of the play, there was to remain only one couple which was discovered finally when Fabienne Égal opened the door of the horse-gear which separated them, giving place sometimes to rather unexpected reactions.

Evelyne Leclercq arbitrated the play and one of the sequences of this one rested on the recognition of songs interpreted with the electronic organ by Charlie Oleg.
