Poker shows from Europe are few and fare between. The only poker on TV from 1998 to around 2003 was a program called Late Night poker, originally aired on CH4. It built up a cult following and is a massive reason to why poker is on the up in the UK. People on Late night poker included all the hendon mob, Devilfish, alot of celebs and most of the top euro pro's. Apart from that show I cant think of any televised poker before that.

I was in England over the holidays last year, and got to atch a great show every night between 2 and 3... I think it was Late Night Poker. On one episode I saw, they had heart monitors hooked up to the players. AWESOME stuff seeing a guy siting there completely motionless with a pulse of 140! I actually buped into THE guy at the WSOP this year and chatted with him about it for a little while... Cool show.

Heart monitors? That is hilarious. Watch ESPN want to do that soon in another way to make poker more telegenic.
