Thread: New Years films and programs in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus?

Class Anna!!

I only got some bits of the interview with the queen... But it was very funny! Didn't recognise some of the people she called.


Her real speech is a Christmas tradition in England. Didn't watch it this year, but here it is. I agree with her view on the King James Bible..... and I DO admire her even though I am not a big monarchist.

Btw, I thought you had LOTS of programs that are repeated every year in Russia, that's why I asked. Sounds like it's not that many after all.
