Amazing, In Scotland but still tuning in to Spanish TV.

I missed the BBQ ribs. Would have liked to have seen that as we had our first barbie last week and am looking for new recipes.

I was a tad disappointed with Spanish TV last night, really not much on at all. Hope it's better tonight.

Sabado Noche - that's one for my viewing list.

Did either of you try the subtitles yet on teletext page 888?

:D

Hi Sunnysenorita

No I have not tried the subtitles yet but will give it a go asap.
Hope you enjoy Sabado Noche, let me know what you think of it.

Re: Spanish Documentry
 

I expect you all know about this but it was a new discovery to me - on Spanish TV3 you can change the Sound/Mode to have it in the original version. Most of the UK/USA films tend to be shown pretty late at night, though. Any station that shows the sign "Dual" when you first turn to it can do this. Unfortunately for me, TV3 is the only one that I seem to be able to get in the Alicante Province.

Re: Spanish Documentry
 

Thanks for that un-mundo will give it a go.
Another sunny day here, take it for granted until I go to visit family in England sunny old Basingstoke next week.

Hi All,
I guess "Sabado noche" is on another channel, not TVE(internacional), 'cause can't see it on the schedule. It's the only spanish channel I can get on Sky.
"Espana, entre el cielo y la tierra" returns for another EARLY episode about Catalonia (Catalunya?) from the Pyrenees.
Tonight, Jose Andres has "Especial Andalucia" ;) Might be a surprise!
Saturday night has a "Gala de la Rioja" with an assortment of singing celebrities...
Oh well, better get out into the garden, "someone" has turned up the outdoor thermostat - it's positively glorious outside! :)
Regards,
Carol

Re: Spanish Documentry
 

Did you see this weeks episode yet? it was around the Gerona area, I have only seen a small part as the storm here was so bad that our electrics etc blew, but it looked rather good.
Shame they did not go around Ayamonte as we had hoped they might this week.
So far they have always or seemed to follow a pattern around Spain. Maybe later.

Re: Spanish Documentry
 

Hola pwwm!
Missed it yet again - I keep forgetting to set the timer! :o
Sounds like most of Andalucia has had a storm passing through these last few days. The storms in the Alpujaras (is Albunol in the Alpujaras?) are fairly intense - almost like touching the clouds! We drove along the road from costa tropical to Granada (in April two years ago), and, near the dam, hailstones the size of golf balls fell from the skies! Several cars had to pull over to the side of the road...
There's a movie on tonight, and Jose is cooking ravioli... :)
Regards,
Carol

Re: Spanish Documentry
 

HI Carol

As you quite rightly say, yes we have had rather large storm over the weekend with large hailstones, today it is still very cloudy. The hills here in town were absolutley running with water, thanfully we live in teh hill overlooking town and I drove through it all, cars was clean now rather mud spattered.

Off to UK Thursday so me other half had better remember to record this weeks for me.
Keep well, oh now the fire works have strted...................

OOH I was not aware of this. Do you have to have any special equipment to get the original versions? Sounds a bit techincal for me. :scared:

Carole - i've been watching Jose (with subtitles too). Did you see the consume? Very impressive but a bit too time consuming for me unfortunatley. I'll stick to the basics until i retire or marry a rich man. :)

pwwm - It was my birthday last weekend so I was out on the tiles :beer: still not seen Sabado Noche. I have plans for this Sat too so i'll have to keep you posted on that one.

On TVE1 last night I watched 'Mujeres Desesperadas' (desperate housewives) and after that there was a Spanish sitcom called 'Con dos tacones' (with two heels?). Both quite girly programmes but boyfriend was out watching football so was able to have full command of the TV in the bedroom.

Hope to be able to advance on to documentaries etc soon :o , am still getting back into the swing of this Spanish TV. :confused:

Adios for now xxxxxxxx

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

Re: Spanish Documentry
 

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.
regards pwwm

Re: Spanish Documentry
 

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

Re: Spanish Documentry
 

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
