Re: Spanish Documentry
 

Hola,
Been away from this thread for a few days...needed to look for it.
"Con dos tacones", yes I watched a bit of that too. Kind of a cross between "Friends" and "The Golden Girls" (anyone remember them?) I find a few "modern" sitcoms too exaggerated, and they wear me down a bit.
I read the blurb for last week's Sabado noche, and it sounds like a program one could dip into from time to time. And, or course, we are heading in to Eurovision time...
"Espana directo" was good last week for covering the Feria de abril in Sevilla.
"Loco de la colina" (tonight or tomorrow night?) is a bit like Parkinson with interviews of famous people.
"Espana, entre el cielo..." was on last Sunday (missed it): Aragonese Pyrenees.
I watched a film last night on Sky, "Spanglish", starring Paz Vega and an American actor whose name escapes me for the moment. Funnily enough, I had seen Paz Vega on the screen of another film in Spanish, which I think was called, "El otro lado de la cama".
I've seen snippets of information on the "Gente" program of a new Almodovar film which is being (or has recently been) released, called "Revolver" (maybe "Volver"?), starring Penelope Cruz.
Oh well, happy viewing...
Regards,
Carol

Hello again,
Last night's "Espana, entre..." was about Navarra's mystical valleys, eg. Roncesvalles. Missed it again! At least there is a continuity of episodes (all North).

Carol

Re: Spanish Documentry
 

I watched it this morning, it was so scenic, very nice, as you say Carol, at least they are continuing with the same area. Did you see Sabado Noche? enjoyed that last night.

Hi pwwm,
I was out dancing last night (wow, don't get to say that very often these days!) There's a program on tonight (20.15 Spain/19.15 GMT) called "Cronicas", and it's a report on the itinerant workers and the strawberry industry in Huelva province.
Regards,
Carol

Hola! Pwwm,
You'll need to set your recorder for tonight at 02:30hrs.(Spain time) It's Granada, and the river Genil. Starting at El Mulhacen. I've missed this program several weeks in a row, so will set my timer for taping NOW.
Sunday at 17:05hrs. it's on again, but this episode is about Mallorca.
Regards,
Carol

Hi Carol

I went to watch last night's episode to find we already have that one, filmed all around the Sierra's behind us.

Re: Spanish Documentry
 

Hola!pwwm,
I watched the Granada episode: Las Alpujarras, Sierra Nevada, Granada (beautiful Albaicin), along the Genil valley from Santa Fe up towards Estepa. Great! It's a real "sit back and watch the scenery infold in front of your eyes" type of program. The narrator has a clear voice, and the snippets of local history/literature are welcome. I do wonder how they get to film the streets so deserted, not even a dog/cat in sight! Must be the swoosh of the helicopter that scares them away ( ;) )
Equally good was the Mallorca episode on Sunday afternoon. Amazing cliffs...
Regards,
Carol

Re: Spanish Documentry
 

Hola Carol and All

For the first time I missed it last night but I see it is on later this afternoon, 5pm Spanish time, on 802.

Bet it was one that I had missed. Especially as we are still trying to get Carols place.

Re: Spanish Documentry
 

Hola!
Missed the late night episode, which I believe was about the Comunitat Valenciana. The Menorca episode on Sunday afternoon was interesting, especially about the taulas (stone towers). I caught a bit of Sabado noche, and the discussion was about eurovision, so didn't tune in for much longer, I'm afraid. But, to be honest, I did watch eurovision earlier on with the family. :o
I'm starting to get hooked on the soap "Amar en tiempos revueltos", anyone else watched this show?

Re: Spanish Documentry
 

Hola! Que tal?
Bumper edition documentary on flamenco dancing and singing tonight (Noche flamenca) at 9.35pm (Spain time), same channel 802 Sky (TVe internacional), for all you aficionados.
"Espana entre tierra y..." is on again in the wee small hours (02.30hrs), but I don't know which region has been filmed?
World Cup is soon approaching, so I'll need to sort out the video timer...
Regards,
Carol

Re: Spanish Documentry

Shall enjoy tonight then, I think they are starting to repeat the early morning thing now, but never the less, I shall put the timer on.
