As a matter of fact, I just realized that I had made a significant mistake on the figures concerning the number of viewers: It was actually over 10 MILLION viewers per episode and not 10 thousand as I had previously mentioned; sorry ! To this day, "L'Eté Rouge" remains at the top of the french television all time successes and has been sold and aired internationally in many countries. For Trivia, in November 2001, while George Corraface, the lead actor, was shooting that mini-series, he got the Best Actor of the year award in Greece for his work in Andreas Pantzis' film "To Tama".
