There are 4 million channels on the TV here, and as with the UK, most of them are severe pants. Soap Opera's seem to be the most popular. Sometimes I watch the Chinese equivilant of EastEnders and listen to them scream insults (or compliments, I'm none the wiser) at each other for giggles.

They have one show which is like China's Funniest Home Videos, which is sort of like You've Been Framed but with much more violent, and I assume fatal accidents being shown along with a laughter track which makes me feel slightly uncomfortable. Uncomfortable in that I laugh too.

At 22:00 local time, FINALLY something I can watch. The awesomeness that is Mr Bean comes on on the Kids channel. Oh how I laugh while sat in my flat in my boxers tucking into a bowl of noodles, you canny beat it! Then something even better, The Three Stoges comes on. Fantastic!! The voices are dubbed into Chinese, but I only watch for the slapstick and Curly getting slapped round the head by Moe whilst screaming in Chinese.
