Saturday evening show in France that has now sadly finished. A wonderful format that celebrated the little differences between Europeans that makes our continent so great. The programme even managed to rise above the annoying laugh of host, Christine Bravo.

It worked like this: Bravo held court aided by a guest that changed weekly with the real stars of the show being the regular panelists from various European countries. Each week they would talk about something wacky that had happened in their country. Two examples being 'New, camp fashion' from Portugal' and 'Extreme Ironing' from the United Kingdom.

The panelists that stood out the most were tiny Jorge Silva from Portugal, Ilario Calvo from Italy with his charming accent, the beautiful German, Martineke Kooistra and the hilarious Ray Cokes from the UK who wins the award for strongest national accent when speaking French.

French-language cinema, whether in France, Québec, or other Francophone regions, explores cultural identity, social change, and the tension between the individual and society. French cinema is not only celebrated for its intellectual experimentation and auteur traditions, but also its success in mainstream comedy, romance, and commercial entertainment. In Québec, films often focus on questions of language, belonging, and community within a distinct cultural landscape.
