Whilst flicking the TV channels I came across a sports channel that was showing the Tour de France - with the commentary in English! I have never watched the race before, but on returning from work each day we started to follow it, it is also a great way to see the fantastic French chateaux and countryside (there are helicopters covering the race) including the Pyrenees & Alps. But it has to be said that I would rather have the Internet than the local TV; I prefer listening to BBC radio than watching the local english TV which is dominated by USA programmes (Dr Phill, Oprah, and 'The Moment of Truth'). The only other programme that I have watched regularly has been Top Gear, again not something that I watched in the UK, it is very amusing and entertaining - even though the programmes are at least 2 years out of date!
