Français fifth channel M6 marks its 35th birthday on Monday, and there's a three-and-a-half hour clip show to reflect on past glories. That's much longer than Channel 5's silver anniversary celebration.

Nederlands viewers have a new series of Bed & breakfast (NPO1 and bvn.tv), their take on Three to Four in a Bed. Every day, Per seconde wijzer (NPO2 and bvn.tv), everyone's favourite sorting quiz. RTL5 has De schlechste chauffeur van Nederland, that looks like car-crash telly.
