History
editThe show was conceived in Paris for London-based Rapido Television by producer and director Peter Stuart, son of American film director Mel Stuart.[1] Rapido Television makes over 100 programme titles, mostly for Channel 4, and was originally launched with backing by Richard Branson. The first Eurotrash series were presented by Antoine de Caunes and Jean-Paul Gaultier, with narrative voiceovers by British comic actress Maria McErlane.[citation needed] [2] Gaultier left at the end of series 7 and de Caunes then co-presented with a range of guest presenters for the remainder of the run, such as Lolo Ferrari,[3] from the Look at Lola feature, who co-presented the music video feature Lolo Pops with de Caunes in the show.[4]
A number of features and stars survived from series one, including Pipi and Popo, two cardboard giraffes made from toilet paper tubes, and the Belgian singer Eddy Wally, who along with Germany's Romeo Cleaners,[5][6] ended up with a regular slot after appearing in a report. Wally was one of a number of musical guests who appeared in the show, with others including Ostalgie techno duo Easty Girls[7] and Swedish Europop group Army of Lovers,[8] though as the series progressed the music guests would more likely end up performing their song over the play-out credits rather then being used in reports.
Victoria Silvstedt was a semi-regular during 2003, often appearing in the studio with de Caunes to present the Naked Germans of the Week feature. Graham Norton featured as a roving reporter in series 9, whilst Carla Bruni was one of the models who appeared in the programme, sitting on de Caunes' lap and answering bizarre questions.[9][10][11] Melinda Messenger appeared in the last series as a "roving reporter", always wearing a Union Jack minidress and big red boots.[citation needed] Even though Eurotrash was a programme that focused on the more humorous aspects of culture from Continental Europe it sometimes featured reports from Britain and the rest of the world, including a feature on performing flatulist[12] Mr Methane and Japan’s yodelling champion.[13]
In 2009, digital channel Living TV began airing a series of new compilation episodes under the title Eurotrash: The Sexy Bits. These included new voiceovers from original narrator Maria McErlane.
On 17 June 2016, Eurotrash returned[14] for a one-off EU referendum special on Channel 4, with guests Eddie Izzard, Andreja Pejic and Australian artist Pricasso. The special was presented by Antoine de Caunes and Jean Paul Gaultier, as Prince Charles and Camilla Parker-Bowles,[15] and featured a mix of new reports and best-of clips from previous shows.[16]

Show start
editWhen did Eurotrash start? And I was under the impression (though i'm probably wrong)that Jean Paul-Gaultier only co-opresented the first series.... 138.251.248.101 03:52, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, the fact that there are no dates when this programme was aired make the page particularly shoddy. I seem to remember it starting in the early 90's, or even earlier. Jason404 (talk) 23:04, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

I have contacted Channel 4 viewer enquiries through their website, and received a reply stating that there are no plans for further series of Eurotrash. I've edited the article to reflect this. --77.250.154.137 (talk) 09:59, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

"Yorkshire and other British regional accents "
editWere these often chosen to be close cultural/social equivalents for the original accents of the interviewed subjects in the cultures of their own countries? (eg the French or German rough equivalents of Northerners, Cockneys, Brummies etc) If so, this should be mentioned. Romomusicfan (talk) 12:33, 27 July 2022 (UTC)
