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:
“We have dancing ... from soon after sundown until a few minutes after nine o’clock.... Occasionally the boys who play the female partners in the dances exercise their ingenuity in dressing to look as girlish as possible. In the absence of lady duds they use leaves, and the leaf-clad beauties often look very pretty and always odd enough.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
