La Tête et les Jambes (English: Head and Legs) is a French game show which was broadcast from October 20 1960 to September 15 1975 to June 26 1978. It was created by Jacques Antoine in 1957 as a sequence in the show Télé Match, it was presented by Pierre Bellemare.
Principle of the game show
The game combines two competitors: a competitor ("the head") has to answer complex questions on a specific topic. In a case of failure, a high-level competitor ("legs"), must catch up with their opponent by performing a minimum performance to allow him to stay in the game.
If one competitor reaches the end of the 24 questions (6 questions per week for 4 weeks), they will earn 100,000 francs.
