Résumé This article compares two television formats – one English and one French – to determine ways in which they incorporate public participation via electronic media. These new formats constitute a “demotic turn” (Turner, 2010), rather than democratisation in the true sense of the term. Using both an ethnographic and an analytical approach, we examine the hypothesis that the televised debate programme Mots Croisés, traditionally designed as a debate between “experts”, continues to present a hierarchy of speakers in the way it deploys electronic participation. The spectacular use to which the organisers of Mots croisés put Twitter, and the splintering of opinions which results from it, emerges clearly when contrasted with the British programme Question Time, where public participation via electronic media is broadcast on a separate channel. This separation between the programme's two publics makes it possible to include a freer and more rebellious public, but at the cost of a total split between the electronic messages and the conduct of the debate in the programme.
