TV PROGRAMMES

Today you´ve been working in groups describing a TV programme. The winner of that activity has been the next one:

 

                   CASTLE        

My favourite TV programme is Castle. It is about a police drama.I like it because it´s interesting, frightening and it has so much mistery.

Castñe, it is broadcast in channels divinity and "Cuatro". The main character is Richard Castle. He is a writer that is writing a book about plice drama, and, he is working with a police called Becket. They, together, resolve crimes. That police drama has a little bit of romance.

In my opinion, the best character is Richard because he is so funny and he loves Becket.
