That’s all for That’s English

The last recording of That’s English, the world’s longest-running English language teaching TV series, has taken place in London 22 years after the very first programme was shot. The series, which has been broadcast continuously on Spain’s TVE channel since 1994, combines travelogue, soap opera and comic sketches linked by a studio presenter, and is designed for students who are at levels A1 to C1 on the CEFR. The final show was presented by Kieran Suchet and Samantha Mesagno, which has produced the series since the beginning. The co-producer is Becky Mitchell.
That’s English forms part of the distance learning programme of the Escuela Oficial de Idiomas, Spain’s state language school chain, which enrols over 30,000 English language students every year in That’s English courses leading to an official certificate. The first series, shot between 1993 and 1995, ran on Spanish television until 2011, and some episodes can still be found on YouTube. The second series, known as That’s English Nuevo, started production in 2010 and runs daily on Spain’s RTVE.
