Questions pour un Champion Speciale (TV5, 8pm Saturday)

The occasional international edition, with contestants from Canada, India, Ireland, Gabon, Russia, Benin, Lybia, Spain, Cuba, and Algeria all scratching their heads at M. Leper's strange syntax. Or was that the English equivalent?

Making a Meal of It (BBC2, 1.30 weekdays)

An amateur cooking contest.
