“The Right Price”, TF1’s flagship TV game, will make its return to the competing channel M6 with illusionist Eric Antoine at the presentation, the general director of programs for the M6 group, Guillaume Charles, announced on Thursday. “I can officially announce to you (…) that there will indeed be The Right Price which will make its return on M6,” he declared on Europe 1, returning to “a rumor that has been circulating”, and confirming thus information from Télé Star magazine. “It will be Eric Antoine who will present it” on “a daily basis” in access (late afternoon, early evening), he added, without specifying a launch date.
“The Right Price”, whose candidates had to guess the price of various products through different games, was in the heyday of TF1 from 1987 to 2001, Philippe Risoli having succeeded Patrick Roy at the presentation in 1992. The new version of the show “will be a mix of old games, new games but, in any case, this very beautiful brand will make its return on M6,” insisted Guillaume Charles, when asked about a potential return of the Tyrolean.
In this flagship event of the old show, the candidates had to prevent a small Tyrolean figurine from falling from a mountain, by giving an estimate as close as possible to the price to be guessed. Initially adapted from an American format, “The Right Price” had already been relaunched by TF1 from 2009 to 2015, with Vincent Lagaf’ at the helm, allowing the front page to dominate early evening audiences. More broadly, M6 “develops games”, in particular a musical blind-test game adapted from the British format “The Hit List”. “We are still thinking about the exact box but we also have to diversify the genres we can have a little,” explained Guillaume Charles.
