Intended for a general audience that appreciates satirical humour and acerbic reflections on French society.
Guy Bedos was a French screenwriter, stand-up comedian and actor. He was a French man born in Algeria, a former French department. He is identified as a Pied-Noir, name given to the French people by the Algerians in assimilation with the French sailors who were navigating with steam boat. As they were walking barefoot on coal their feet were black. At Music-Hall, he interpreted various sketches of authors like him. He developed a regularly updated political satire. This satire affected mostly right-wing politicians, his "friends" of the left also suffer from his cutting reflections.
