The presenters
Sabine Quindou and Fred Courant are in the field. They visit places, interview specialists and introduce questions that Jamy answers. Before 2011, Jamy Gourmaud was in a laboratory truck. Now, he goes to symbolic locations relevant to the topic with a mobile laboratory equipped with touch screens, computer graphics and of course the models that made the success of the show from the beginning.
Valérie Guerlain is la petite voix (the little voice) who doesn't show her face but does commentary during the show.
