Two TV stars with Time X
With his brother twin Igor, Grichka presented the show Time X, broadcast from 1979 to 1987 on TF1. The magazine mixed popular science, but also science fiction. His avatars, during the 1980s, served greatly to publicize the works and authors of science fiction such as Dune by Frank Herbert Where 2001: a space odyssey by Arthur Clarke.
Many Generation X children and adolescents have also taken an interest in science thanks to Time X just like many NASA engineers found their calling in the works of Clarke and Ray bradbury. But a number of polemics, the best known of which will remain “the Bogdanoff Affair” have unfortunately made an indisputable negative counterpoint to the legacy of Time X.
