    Many people think that TV programs have little or no educational value (教育意义). It is true that lots of programs are meaningless. However, some programs are good and we learn many things from them. Here are few of my favorite programs.

Blue Peter	As a child, this was the only program I could watch. I watched it three times a week. You can learn about different countries around the world from it. As the show is for children, the language in it is easy.
The Great British Bake Off	This show is about making bread, cakes and so on. The show wants to find Britain's' best amateur baker (业余烘焙师). You can watch the show o get some ideas of new things to try baking and you can always find the recipes online.
Frozen Planet	This one is about life in cold places. There are many special animals in this show. I love this show not because of the cute animals, but because it teaches us about the impact we have on these animals and what we need to do to save them.
Pointless	This show is great for thinking. It is a quiz (知竞赛) show. It may be about sports, weather, movies and on. I learned lots of things from this show.
