Key details
Non-broadcast topical pilot for BBC Three starring Alexis Dubus as Marcel Lucont.
The fictional Frenchman will take a Gallic shrug and cast a critical eye over life on this side of the Channel. Marcel will take a comedic look at recent news stories and use them for what they can tell us about our flawed culture.
The character told Chortle: "Britain is certainly not getting any better. It is understandable that the BBC have brought in a higher cultural being to hold up a mirror to its inhabitants' ruddied faces. I will do the best I can, although it may take several series before we see improvement..."
This project was cancelled before being produced.
