Fort Boyard (TV Series)
''Fort Boyard'' is a French game show created by Jacques Antoine that was first broadcast on 7 July 1990 (originally as ''Les Clés de Fort Boyard'', however shortened to ''Fort Boyard'' from the second series in 1991). Foreign versions of the show, with varying success, have aired around the world since 1990.

Although ''Fort Boyard'' was something of a pioneer in the area of game show fear and adven ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
