AGENT - Polish version of The Mole

official website: http://www.agent.tvn.pl


"Agent" in TVN so far has been the most expensive show produced in Poland. The host of the show is Marcin Meller, a journalist in 'Polityka' magazine.

Preparations to Polish version of 'The Mole' started in summer 2000. In August over 3000 people took part in the casting organized in two cities, Warsaw and Krakow. During the four-day casting 30 people were chosen, and then the final 12 contestants. The main criteria while chosing the contestants were not physical strength and appearance but strong personality and openness.

Worth mentioning is that the usual preparations to realization of  'The Mole' last 6 months, while TVN had only 1 month!

The chosen 12 didn't know where they were going. They didn't meet with one another at the airport. Each of them got an envelope with the directions. This way they got from Warsaw to Lyon, France.

The 12 contestants:

In the last episode (26th Dec) they didn't show who had the red feather (in Polish version if you find in your envelope a red feather you drop out, if you have a green feather you stay). They showed who dropped out on Jan. 1st and then the other 3 people had to fight for the prize. Well actually two of them, because one is THE MOLE!!bungee.jpg (44236 bytes)

The final episode of 'Agent' was shown on January 1st, 2001.
