“A French karaoke game show has started filming again, replacing the usual audience with dozens of balloon mannequins and it’s the stuff of nightmares,” wrote BBC journalist Tom Hourigan on Twitter.
The French version of Don’t Forget the Lyrics! has devised a rather unique way of replacing its live studio audience.
N’oubliez pas les paroles!, which translates as Let’s Not Forget the Lyrics!, has started filming new episodes for the first time since lockdown was announced after successfully implementing certain health standards.
One tweeter said that the mannequins may help contestants’ performances, adding: ”Less stress for shy candidates facing the audience.”
