The first few minutes of Engrenages/Spiral – season 4

Engrenages - season 4

The new season of Canal+/BBC4’s Engrenages/Spiral begins on 3 September in France – no word yet from BBC4 on when it will air it, I’m afraid, but with 11 episodes of Inspector Montalbano left on Saturdays, I don’t imagine it’ll be for a a while yet. So to tide you over and get you all unfairly excited, here’s the first couple of minutes of the new season. In French obviously. Sorry, non-French speakers.

Don’t forget you can also play Inside Engrenages over on the Canal+ web site. And there are lovely pictures of Audrey Fleurot and Grégory Fitoussi there, as well as of other cast members and plot-relevant moments from the new season, too.

Random Acts: Audrey Fleurot scares Woody Allen

Karlsson in Engrenages

It’s the turn of Audrey Fleurot to be a bit random this week by scaring Woody Allen so much he edited her out of his latest film, Midnight in Paris.  

“Tous mes potes pensent que je suis mythomane”, explique-t-elle à Télérama. “Sur le plateau, c’était étrange. Je suis allée dire bonjour à Woody Allen, il a fait un bond de deux mètres en arrière comme si je l’avais violé.”

“All my friends think I’m a pathological liar. On set, it was strange. I went to say hello to Woody Allen and he jumped back two metres as though I’d violated him.”
