I stayed at my friends house in April and there were lots of english channels - BBC Prime is a load of rubbish but there are a few movie channels and CNBC or something like that, about channel 6, was really good and showed Desperate Housewives, Cold Case, 24, those sorts of programmes. I watched that and the movie channels and the music channels all the time, and although I speak and teach french, I couldnt understand much of the french programmes but there were lots of them!
BBC Prime did show Eastenders though, a few episodes behind, so i did manage to get my fix of that once I relaised it was on and managed to predict when it would be on!
