FTA Gems

"sport" has rules,a competition element and repetitiveness.
However,"exotic" sports,such as kirkpinar,Papuasian sports,or Scottish "strength" sports may qualify in my view.
Football,cricket,snooker,golf etc... have a taste of "fixture" events,they won't classify as "gems" something rare & wonderful,worthy of wonder.
they'll repeat next year ,unless very grave events prevent them.
Gems do not repeat.

On 26East
A bunch of Nigerian channels on 10970V 27500, and 11010 V 27500
Full of life,music,local languages... Nigeria has 220+ million people,it shows!!
 
On 23.5 East at 12010V 29900
a Fox news- like US brainwasher called "Newsmax"
I wonder what s it's doing among a mainly Czech & Dutch bunch of TPs...
shows why the US or,rather us ,are in danger... quite frightening.
A curiosity.
 
and tv24.co.uk is a wonderful site!!
I can' t remember who gave the link,he/she may be thanked a lot!!!:D:D
 
SPAIN: Procesiones de Semana Santa

Colorful and handsomely commented!

When it was airing in the '70's, Ollie, my little canary, trilled so loudly to the theme tune that I had to take his cage into another room during the programme.
For some reason he never did the same with other TV shows, records or radio other than a few cheeps.
 
Strangely,this series never made it to France,until 2015 (the new batch).
And was a notable flop,due to lack of "local colour".
I have lived near Amsterdam,been there many times. Indeed the characters should be ,at least in the order of 60-75%...Dutch people (or Indonesian,Moroccans) like people in Amsterdam really are!
and some 20% Brits/Irish/Americans...of course!
Not a group of transported Brits .
How would you take a series in Edinburgh with only Spaniards,or French or Portuguese?Or Dutch?
Too bad an interesting place like the NLs is not better served....by the Dutch!
 
But I ll enjoy seeing old Amsterdam back in hippie days,the Melkweg an Warmoestraat!

I suppose it's a little bit like those German Rosamunde Pilcher TV films that ZDF film in Cornwall in South West England with a German-speaking cast!
 
Yes sure,there is also a series set in Brittany with an all-German cast,that triggered a series-targeted tourism in the village where the series takes place Kommissar Dupin – Wikipedia
which no-one in France (bar some Alsatians,teachers of German) knows about.
