Téléchat

Téléchat is a Franco-Belgian French-language children's television series created by Roland Topor and Henri Xhonneux. The series aired on France 2 as a segment of Récré A2,[1] and ran for 234 episodes between 1983 and 1986. A surreal satire of news broadcasting, the series centers around a TV news program presented by two anthropomorphic puppets—Groucha, a cat, and Lola, an ostrich.[2][3][4] The series was later rebroadcast on France 5 in the 1990s, and on Arte in the 2010s.[3] In Belgium, the series premiered first on RTBF1's Lollipop strand, on 19 September 1983.[5]
