This Friday, May 2 in prime time, RMC Story offers a special program of Bigdil Completely devoted to the 90s, the flagship period of the program which marked a whole generation of viewers. Initially broadcast on TF1 between 1998 and 2004, The Bigdil was known for its delirious atmosphere, its colorful characters and its star host, Vincent Lagaf ‘. For this exceptional evening, the emblematic host emerges his legendary costume in garish colors and plunges into the eccentric universe of the program surrounded by his old accomplices. The tray, the jingles, the sound effects and even the lights were recreated identically to better restore the particular atmosphere of the late 90s.
The comeback of Ramucho and Loulou
Among the big returns of the evening, that of Ramucho and Loulou does not go unnoticed. These two cult figures of the program, unforgettable for their musical performances, resume their role in the famous blind test, revisited for the occasion with the greatest tubes of the 90s. A presence which brings a real perfume of Madeleine de Proust for fans of the show.
Alongside them, former candidates also come to relive their moment of glory. We will find in particular Vincent, left with a car in 2004 despite nine attempts to the driving license, or Pauline, who had shone in 1999 during a special average. Records that recall that the Bigdil, beyond its disguises and its absurd games, has created real television memories.
The return of certain former candidates of Bigdil Surely will make fans of the first hour smile, but does not arouse a particular emotion in Vincent Lagaf ‘. As he confides in an interview with Télé-Loisirsthe host has welcomed thousands of people over the years, and his memory is not always there. “We had done a quick calculation: since I made TV, I think we welcomed 14,000 people between people in the public, the guides and the candidates. So I don’t remember anyone”he explains with humor.
Cult games come back, still as crazy
In addition to the striking figures, the program recalls several cult tests such as the Tractokado, the Caddies race or the mime of the trades, in a slightly modernized version but faithful to the original spirit. This return owes nothing to chance. The show, relaunched in 2025 on RMC Story, was a great success with more than 25 million viewers accumulated since January and a peak at 2.3 million for the New Year’s bonus, according to Planète CSAT.
