Their aim was to achieve a new kind of documentary in which the commentators disappear, allowing the subjects themselves to speak.
The program deals mainly with moments of everyday life (family meals, doing household chores, working on a farm, etc.).
The idea is that the viewer is meant to identify with these intimate moments of their daily lives, demonstrated in the show's tagline: "Strip-Tease: The program that undresses you."
The participants of the show gradually "undress" or reveal their private lives to the audience, allowing viewers to learn about them on a deeper, uncensored level.
Though some episodes air as Strip-Tease on France 3, Tout ça (ne nous rendra pas le Congo) is actually a revival of the show, but with a format of 52 minutes.
