Some on you should really see the type of programming countrys in europe show. Anything NEAR the quality of the BBC is no where to be seen. In france there main channels all jostle for ratings by showning the lowest programs.

Any comedy programs are focused on the worst type of cheap comedy. Current affiers comedy is reducing to people wearning masks of famous people and putting on funny voices (really! and this program is very popular). The news is VERY anti-american, they always refer to the iraqi war as 'ilegal' and so on. They also show a lot of items about englush yobbishness. They present some storys as the sun would here. Over there it is a FACT that the war was for oil and that blair did it to suck up to america. This isnt presented as a opinion. its news. While they dont focus that in the last election they had a choice between a nazi and a crook.

Drama over there is about the same as a soap here. Eastenders would be seen as a very good drama there (and eastenders is awful!). ALso forget about doucmentrys getting anywhere near the big channels (unless its a negative story about briten and america or a postive story aboout france!). Horzion, newnight? No chance, they just do not have that sort of programming. Its too heavy and requires too much attentsion for them.
