Re: A favourite French tv program?
I like USHUAIA, but my wife cant stand it, other than that I don't care for much on French TV, then again UK TV ain't that much better either!!
We had a satalite dish & decoder to get the freeview UK channels etc but it didn't do much for me. Watch the UK news and you're depressed for days!!

I thought 'l'amour est dans le pré' was good fun!
We watched 'Mystère' too. In fact we bought the DVD of Serie 1.
The news with the French subtitles for the deaf is a great aid to understanding how things are pronounced.
I like 'Wheel of Fortune' too. That dog's so funny!

I gererally listen to the the local radio which is "OK" but I easily tire and I find that the variety of music is nothing like in the UK - LONG LIVE CAPITAL FM!!!
I listen to it via the internet, but I can't do that while at work

got to be Carte aux tressor. Brilliant places to see and encourages you get get out and go and visit.
The other one is with Stephan something or other, Saga's showing you the lives of the rich and famous. Like Hello in real time. Just lets you know how life could be
if you won the euro draw.
Other good ones are old Alan Delon films, the opposite to Sagas and lets you know how life is.

Do you have a favourite French tv program?
I’ve always enjoyed Louis la Brocante, which IMHO is typically French.
Louis is an antique dealer frequently caught up in some intrigue or another, whilst his charming but neurotic ex-wife is almost certain to turn up and harass him in most episodes.
One oddity is the weird Citroen Type H van that he drives, which most people woudn't be seen dead in. Back in the 70's I make several trips from Toulouse to Paris in one for the Le-Bourget Air Show, and still suffering from the thought and the ride.
I'd recommend the program for anyone with a reasonable knowledge of French who enjoys a good story, and good acting. Now shown every Thurs evening 20:55 on FR3.

Re: A favourite French tv program?
yeah Les Guignols is quite amusing. But in general I find the French TV to be pretty dire, and the radio is even worse - most stations seem to be stuck in a 80's/90s era. Otherwise its house or techno crap or highly intellectuel people just talking about stuff that nobody cares about which is enough to make you go and hang yourself

L'Amour est dans le Pré - hilarious!
Roue de Fortune - soft dog!
Un diner presque parfait - funny and interesting.
Now the season's over, we can watch a bit of French telly again. It beats Neighbours.....
