Before this evening Code Quantum special on M6 TV, the one who plays so well Sam Beckett, was invited in Paris by M6 TV. What a trip! Rillettes - Patè and salami - Mutton - Beef at cooking salt - Crunchy chips - Boiled meat - Ile flottante, etc. Here's Scott Bakula in Tour Montlhéry, a Paris's restaurant that he couldn't forget soon. He wanted enjoyed the whole dinner, and asked for some recipes to take back in USA. Perhaps to Dean Stockwell, his co-star in Code Quantum, or Chelsy and Cody, his children whom he promised to " hide them into the luggage" sometimes when he'll come back in Paris.

Scott is discovering Paris for the first time, he came with two friends, Joy, his agent and Tom (Spiroff), his co-author. Scott has learnt to appreciate Paris in the night, at the Niel's Castle and others nightclubs: Pre' Catalan, The Fouquet's, The Coupole, where he enjoyed revealing he is fond of good wine. A confidence: "The cooking is one of my favourite sports. My wife ( he denies all the separations rumors) is assigned to elaborate dishes, while I want to keep my title of grill's king. I'd like to add some French recipes to my specialities list."

After the end of Code Quantum Scott Bakula has more time. 97 episodes, five years of work, ten-sixteen hours in a day, this marks a man, though he travels in the time.

He came here only by Code Quantum, that he brought to glory and let him to be well-known in the streets of Paris.

"With this series, I learned to box, the trapeze and the delivery techniques. I was very interested about the strangeness of philosophy and the reincarnation theory. These scenarios let us to approach grave subjects and let us pass to people some messages "

"In that time of my life I learned the patience, the leniency and a best understanding of other ones. Not to judge the people about their appearance and, overall, not to approach someone with a preconceived idea. Code Quantum teaches to us that, before all, inside a character, there is another one. We have given back the honour to the family, the true love. And who says there things aren't interesting for young people, this isn't true, because they are writing to thank us."

News for who would like to taste this Code Quantum special: Scott could come back in Sam Beckett, with Dean Stockwell, in a film feature, and there is only to await for the producer OK and necessary credits.

Scott doesn't want to be too dependent to others decision and has taken advantage to create Bakula Production.

"I had the chance to make my debut in Broadway in musical theaters, singing and dancing. I played musicals, features, and now I am going to produce, to write and to stay at home, near Santa Barbara, where I play tennis, I swim and I run. Some exercises that he hasn't to forget to lose his pounds of gourmet in Paris!

He is delighted to have a fan club in France Scott Bakula is delighted that French people has create a Code Quantum fan club that is called "Oh, bravo!" (like the words that Sam says opening every episodes like Oh, boy!)
