Dix Pour Cent / Call My Agent - Season Two (2017)

Don't care if that ↑ seems pretentious - that's what the series is called. There's no sign at all of Klapisch on this one, though Minck & Dury are still writing the music.

Not sure who many of these people are.

#1. Virgine Efira is caught with another man - husband Ramzy Bedia not happy.

#2. The agency tries to steal Fabrice Luchini (brilliant as the lecturer from Klapisch's Parisfrom Medistar, or whatever they're called. Christophe Lambert also appears.

#3. Norman Thavaud is jumpy about appearing in an Audiard film - drugs help, until he's imprisoned..
New agency owner Assaad Bouab is being a shit to his son, manages to end up in bed with Andréa!

#4. Isabelle Adjani is after a part in an arthouse film but the director hates her. I thought Isabelle was in her fifties but she's here around 62 - incroyable!

To save her father, Camille admits to not having given her the script - as a result the truth about their relationship comes out.

Mathias stupidly sleeps with Noémie - some of the comedy playing is a bit broad, a bit Les Bronzés.

#5. Veteran Guy Marchand (80) is having some memory problems on set. (As a complete aside here, the French made a series called Doc Martin three years before ours with the same setup and we don't seem to acknowledge that.. which seems rather dodgy.) Julien Doré is his co-star.

Somewhat predictably, Andrea finds out she's pregnant. Camille quits

#6. In amusing finale, client Juliette Binoche has to present the Cannes Opening Ceremony. (She's fabulous as always.) Scenes with her and her bodyguard particularly funny.


Nicola Maury and Laure Calamy

It's still great fun.
