	Fort Boyard (TV series) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fort Boyard is a French game show, on the air since 1990, that has been remade across the globe, most successfully in the United Kingdom and Sweden.
		Set and filmed on the real Fort Boyard in France, the show is similar to The Crystal Maze (which was based on Fort Boyard), in that contestants have to complete challenges, usually highly physical ones, to win prizes.
		Firstly Leslie Grantham played Boyard, and Melinda Messenger was the main presenter, with Geoffrey Bayldon as the old professor.

	Fort Boyard - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fort Boyard is a fort located between in the île d'Aix and île d'Oléron in the Pertuis d'Antioche straights, on the west coast of France.
		The construction of this fort had already been considered since the completion of the arsenal in 1666, but Vauban famously advised Louis XIV against it saying "Sir, it would be easier to catch the moon with the teeth than take on such an endeavour in such a location".
		The fort was actually started under Napoleon in 1801, in order to protect the coast (and especially the arsenal of Rochefort) from possible incursions by foreign (and especially British) navies.

	French reality TV goes to sea (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		FORT BOYARD, France -- Only a handful of formats in television history have made it to 1,000 episodes, but the landmark French reality show "Fort Boyard" will pass that mark when it goes out on pubcaster France 2 on Saturday after 15 years on the air.
		Ironically, the fort was obsolete by the time it was completed, and apart from brief spells as a makeshift prison, it has been used only as a television studio.
		"Fort Boyard" was conceived in the late 1980s by TV executives Jean-Pierre Mitrecey and Jacques Antoine, who discovered the fort during filming on a prior show called "Treasure Hunt." The first show went out in 1990 in France, and almost 15 years later it still gains a 25% average market share.

	Fort Boyard - UKGameshows
		The programme was based in a real Napoleonic fort off the coast of Normandy, France, which was an almost immediate white elephant when it was built because the Napoleonic wars ended before it was completed.
		Ellison was a far less unfriendly Boyard who resorted to the same speech patterns before each game (this annoyed many fans of Grantham, who at this point had returned to Eastenders, which is reasonable enough).
		Fort Boyard was the brainchild of Jacques Antoine.

	Fort Boyard
		Constructed upon a sand bank, which needless to say created many difficulties, the fort was completed in 1857, by which time modern weaponry had rendered it obsolete.
		The fort has finally found its place as the home of the popular TV series which carries its name, and which is broadcast in several different countries.
		The fort may be approached to a limit of 500 metres in summertime.

		I really don't watch much TV - some sport, yes, some documentaries, and even some of the cookery programmes (but not many!) - but Red Dwarf is where it's at, what telly was invented for.
		Funny you should say that Huw cause the TV series was one of those "spin off's" from the film "A few good men".
		TV - has to be ER, NYPD Blue (why have C4 dumped all over that), Star Trek TNG and original series (the other 3 don't really do it for me), The Simpsons, Futurama was good too.
