　　Many people are quick to say that television has little，or no，educational value.It is true there are lots of programs that are completely worthless-take Big Brother for example.However，some television programs can improve our knowledge of certain things.Here are some of my favorite shows：

　　Blue Peter: It is the longest­running children's TV show in the world，although it has fallen out of date recently.Children would often learn about different countries around the world.For example，one presenter (主持人) went to the Amazon rainforest in South America!

　　The Great British Bake Off: This show is all about making cakes，biscuits and pies.The purpose is to find Britain's best amateur(业余的) baker.You can watch the show to get some new baking ideas.

　　Frozen Planet: David Attenborough has produced many films about wildlife.This one is about life in the most northern and southern parts of the world: polar bears，seals，penguins，moose and many more animals.I love this show mainly because it teaches us about the influence we have on the planet and what we need to do to save these places.

　　Pointless: This is a general knowledge quiz(问答比赛) show.Each round will provide a different category (e.g.sport，music，film) and a question will be given，for example "Which teams have won the World Cup？" Before the show，100 people will have been asked the same question.Contestants(竞赛者) then have to think of an answer which none of the 100 people thought of.
