Television viewers, clients and fanatics of the BBC in France now have a one stop shop for all BBC programmes aired in the territory.

 

After the success of the BBC Germany website, BBC Worldwide announces the birth of France's own version: www.bbcfrance.fr.

 

The website is designed for the public and BBC Worldwide clients. Visitors can find information about one-off BBC events and details about regular programmes: drama, documentaries and Children's programmes.

 

The News topic announces weekly news related to BBC Worldwide or to the programmes.

 

Thrillers, Comedy, Science-Fiction, History, Nature, Discovery, Society & lifestyle, Children's, all online!

 

From Six Sexy to Flics toujours and Doctor Who, Jekyll, Robin Hood or Torchwood, not forgetting documentary series, such as Au cœur des tribus, Auschwitz, or for the kids, the international hit Teletubbies, Charlie and Lola, Tweenies or The Secret Show.

 

The whole catalogue of BBC programming broadcast on French channels will be available.

 

Visitors to the site will be able to find localized, detailed and fun content: synopses, production and behind-the-scenes information, games, bios and interviews, illustrated with photos and many other extras.

 

Daily and weekly programme grids are also available online to customers so now more than ever, you cannot miss your favourite show.

 

Weekly highlights can be found on the homepage including announcements and details about new programmes.

Faithful BBC followers will also be able to subscribe to the fortnightly newsletters, giving viewers a weekly fix of their favourite shows.

 

Tim Muff, Head of BBC Worldwide in France, said: "France is a priority market for BBC Worldwide and we are always looking into ways to improve the service we offer our clients and consumers. This website is a fantastic new resource which meets the needs of both parties.

 

"Whether it is information on your favourite BBC shows, interviews with their stars or bonus games and downloads, the BBC France website has everything you need.

 

"It is the only source providing listings and programming information in one place for all BBC titles that can be seen in France. It's a one stop shop of great content."

 

Grant Bushby, Head of Marketing, Global TV Sales, BBC Worldwide added: "Following the unprecedented and ongoing success of our BBC Germany site (www.bbcgermany.de), we are very excited about the launch of BBC France.

 

"It should prove to be an invaluable information hub for all our TV, DVD and Licensing partners as well as for television journalists and fans of BBC shows."

 

The BBC France website also allows each user to create their own BBC universe: wallpapers, screen savers, photo galleries and entertainment. The Robin Hood interactive game is just one example, or there are online quizzes to test their BBC knowledge!

 

It really is a new world of BBC content at the click of a button!

 

Clients will benefit from a whole host of pages where they can obtain more information on the programmes and the BBC in general.
