A real orgy of election coverage this weekend...local elections Thursday night (and the option to watch BBC Scotland on Parliament if you're not already able to watch it on BBC1), French on Sunday night and re-run of 1997 on Monday BBC Parliament!

The France 2 coverage may be on TV5 on Sky - they showed the first round show.

I still don't get this... Do many Britons understand French?

You tend to get an uncropped picture on TV5 unlike on BBC Parliament, if the first rounds vote night is anything to go by.

It's native coverage ... which is good to see.

Well, coverage from TF1 lasted for about 2 minutes before suddenly switching to France2 coverage. Odd.

That does sound odd - although BBC Parliament was always scheduled to show France 2's coverage tonight - not TF1's.

If you want to see some more native coverage - these should keep you going all night...

TF1
France 2
France 3
LCI (TF1's 24-hour news channel)
BFM TV (24-hour news channel)
I-Tele (Canal +'s News channel - but link doesn't always work)

There's a commercial break now and BBC Parliament have a still slide up showing both the TF1 and France 2 logos.
