We don't watch much UK television apart from news headlines, the odd documentary and our staple programmes like Bargain Hunt, Pointless and Gardener's World. However our FTA box has packed in we don't half miss it.
You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone.

Easily replaced. French HD boxes will do the job but language may be a challenge for some, in which case Amazzon.co.uk is your friend

If you have a decent internet connection I would recommend https://www.expatprime.tv/.

It’s a reliable service and cheap.

I haven’t had U.K. TV for more than half my life. When I hear others discussing what they watch I never feel that I’m missing out on much.

AJM you need to get out more, gardeners world I can appreciate, but the other two need to be pensioned off, I can prescribe a good intensive course of EastEnders, to bring you back

The end of Bargain Hunt coincides with a rest after lunch. Pointless with our apero and GW is only once a week Can't stand Eastenders. Each to their own.
