Vingt Minutes (Twenty Minutes) was a French language educational program broadcast by the BBC, which occasionally featured retired footballer David Ginola. During the several episodes that are 18:45 minutes in length, it demonstrates what it would be like to partake in a French exchange.
The main character Micheal Fairclough is a young man from Northern Ireland (a Tottenham supporter) who keeps a video diary whilst in France. Through his experience, there are a number of things that the viewer learns of the French culture and language. It is very great for all children which will or might be going onto a French exchange in their life on day. The program illustrates French games and what French people do for a living. The main character Michael Fairclough is staying with the Garibaldi family for his French Exchange, including his Pen-Pal Isabelle, her brother Alain, and their parents.
Famous quotes containing the word minutes:
“The confusion is not my invention. We cannot listen to a conversation for five minutes without being aware of the confusion. It is all around us and our only chance now is to let it in. The only chance of renovation is to open our eyes and see the mess. It is not a mess you can make sense of.”
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
