In France, we had a TV show talking about video games. In 1991, the show also started showing demos at the end of the show. Each week a different demo. As far as I know, this have been the only TV show showing demo scene productions.
I sent our demo Earth’s sorrows and we’ve been selected. Our demo have been shown at the end of one TV shows. They choosed to show the 3D part which was the most impressive, I understand, but not a part I’ve programmed bouhhhhhhh :).
Sadly, I did not find the emission where our demo have been shown, but I’m still looking at it. I also have somewhere a VHS tape with the emission, I should take time to numerize it.
The end generic
The presenter was Jean michel blottière which was famous for leading TILT the first and best magazine on video game in France.
You can read all TILT magazines on this website: http://www.abandonware-magazines.org/affiche_mag.php?mag=28
So I started a quest to find the TV show. But not all were numerized.

Emissions:
Compilation of 1992 emission : (our demo is not in there)
"The big Labyrinth". I was 11 so surely very impressed by that show. Two teams had to move into a kind of video labyrinth. I can remember a factory with pipes.
Sadly no video can be found on the internet today (2024).
This was a TV show were people had to interact using the phone keys. The game used was an Amiga game named Hugo. It seems that that character come from Danmark, same for the TV show. Skærmtrolden Hugo. On internet we can find a C64 game. Not sure if that version was used for a TV show.
In France, a french singer presented the show : Karen Cheryl.
I think the Amiga game was used for the show, or maybe it was a special version running on a more powerful machine.
On the danish version, we can see a Commodore Amiga 1084 monitor on stage, so sure that an Amiga was running the game.
Great 3d inside.
