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:
“Navajo men and boys have an odd way of showing their friendship. When two young men meet at the trading post, a “Sing”, or a dance they greet each other, inquire about the health of their respective families, then stand silently some ten or fifteen minutes while one feels the other’s arms, shoulders, and chest.”
