Only a few, usually BBC World News, Eurosport, VH1 (music) and a few other well viewed channels! Crying

Bars and restaurants will mainly have football or music channels on. How's your German/Russian - loads of those channels.

You will have to record Very Happy

If you find a quiet restaurant and order lots, you could ask them to put East Enders on. Just remember it will be 9.30 BG time, if the restaurant is quiet at that time it may be because the food's not good. Crying

I dont believe this Surprised your on the wind up. If my Mrs went on like that going on holiday I would seriously consider divorcing her. You didnt happen to be in Menorca about 5 years ago? this women started a hole row in the hotel bar because she couldnt see Eastenders. Do you have VCRs were you come from Very Happy

Unfortunately Insider it is the 'McDonalds mentality' we all seem to live in these days. Eh by gum - I recall days of black and white telly, 3 channels and it switched off at midnight - oh my word - how would we cope these days! It's like folk who go abroad and the first question is "is there a McDonalds here" Why oh why people spend good money to travel abroad and then want what is on their doorstep has always been beyond me but there you go, each to their own.

Absolutely Kim, that is the whole point of foreign travel. I also cannot believe that when a hotel advertises satellite tv the Brits complain that is not SKY!!

I dont complain that I have no Bulgarian TV in London, or Banitsa and Boza for Breakfast!
