Eurotrash is a 30-minute magazine-format programme in English, presented by Antoine de Caunes and Jean-Paul Gaultier and produced by Rapido Television. It was shown in the United Kingdom on Channel 4 from 24 September 1993 and was a late-night comical review of unusual topics mainly from Western and Central Europe; though, despite the title, also around the world. The show averaged around a 20 percent audience share, pulling in around 2–3 million viewers each week, making it the most popular entertainment show on the channel. Channel 4's slot average for Eurotrash's broadcast time is around 900,000 viewers, making the show an important hit for the channel.
It ran for 16 series (over 160 episodes) until 2007, making it one of the UK's longest running late-night entertainment shows. Channel 4 infrequently re-runs the series and repeats can be found on the Comedy Central Extra, Real Lives and on 3e in Ireland. Series 1 is also now available on All 4. After more than 10 years of broadcast, the show built up a substantial following and Eurotrash has around 15 million fans, and various fan sites.
All intellectual property rights to the series are now controlled by the production company, Rapido Television.
A one-off special aired on 17 June 2016 to coincide with the UK referendum on EU membership.
Eurotrash is a derogatory term used across Europe and in North America for certain Europeans, particularly those perceived to be arrogant, lower-class, and expatriates in the United States.
Among the early printed uses of the term was in the early 1980s, when Taki Theodoracopulos, a wealthy Greek living in New York, wrote a newspaper column entitled "Eurotrash" in The East Side Express.
Eurotrash is the second studio album of the Norwegian industrial rock band Zeromancer.
The album spawned 2 singles, "Doctor Online" and "Need You Like a Drug", and a cover of Real Life's "Send Me an Angel". Need You Like a Drug hit number one on the Deutsche Alternative Charts in 2002.
