Re: Upcoming Movies on TV (UK)
Not too much going on film-wise next week, mostly because we have the Euro football thing going on; the first week of Wimbledon; the first week of the Tour de France; the Glastonbury music festival coverage across the weekend; and a little matter of an election on 4th July!
The big premiere of the week is Pablo Larrain's film Spencer showing on Channel 4 at 9 p.m. on Saturday 29th. And the only other new film showing is in BBC4's Storyville documentary series, with Argentinian film El castillo (retitled to "Inheriting The Castle" by the BBC) showing at 10 p.m. on Tuesday 2nd, which might make for a fun double bill with La cienaga!
Although the thing that really caught my eye is that the CBBC channel is starting to show the 'animated prequel' series Gremlins: The Secrets of the Mogwai, with the first episode showing at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday 29th. Which sounds like such a bizarre oddity I may have to check it out to see what's happening there.
___
Repeat-wise, nothing too much of note. The BBC is doing a tribute for the occasion of Eva Marie Saint's 100th birthday with a double bill of On The Waterfront and North By Northwest showing on BBC2 from 1:15 p.m. on Sunday 30th (un-DOG-tagged) and again from 7:30 p.m. on BBC4 on her exact birthday of Thursday 4th (which is DOG-tagged, and is followed by the Brando documentary Listen To Me, Marlon at 11:25 p.m.)

Re: Upcoming Movies on TV (UK)
A few big things next week. As jlnight has noted Wes Anderson's The French Dispatch of the Liberty, Kansas Evening Sun is showing on Channel 4 at 9 p.m. on Saturday 6th. I actually just picked this up in the last month along with the latest in the series of hardback making of books about the film (which were began by Matt Zoller Seitz but it appears he has handed over duties for these now to others following The Grand Budapest Hotel) and the Blu-ray of Asteroid City. Strangely whilst Asteroid City is out on Blu-ray in the UK, The French Dispatch doesn't appear to have received a disc release in the UK at all as of yet (which might be because of the Disney takeover of Fox? And means it has now reached UK television before home video), so I had to import the US Blu-ray of it instead!
Clashing with The French Dispatch, BBC4 starts a new foreign language crime series with Swedish series End of Summer starting at 9 p.m. with the first two (of six total) episodes. Slightly confusingly there is a trailer on YouTube for this Swedish language show, but its dubbed in German!. Also in television terms BBC2 is starting an eight episode series The Turkish Detective, the first two of which (showing at 9 p.m. on Sunday 7th and 9 p.m. Monday 8th respectively) are directed by Niels Arden Oplev (aka the director of the original 2009 TV version of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo starring Noomi Rapace)
ITV1 has a rare crack of the premiere whip on Sunday 7th with the first showing of Wonder Woman 1984 at 7:25 p.m.
Instead of the usual Storyville documentary, BBC4 is showing the first two (of four total) parts of horse racing documentary Horsepower from 10 p.m. on Tuesday 9th.
And as jlnight has noted, Film4's one premiere of the week is Hammer horror(!) film The Lodge at 10:50 p.m. on Thursday 11th. Which is thematically sandwiched in a 'woman going crazy when trapped in a house' triple bill between A Quiet Place Part II at 9 p.m. and mother! at 1 a.m.
___
Repeat-wise, Film4 is showing Wes Anderson's Isle of Dogs at 1:55 a.m. in the early hours of Wednesday 10th. There is a rare showing of Training Day on BBC1 at 10:30 p.m. on Saturday 6th (though this might change depending on football)
BBC4's 'archive television' event of the week on Wednesday 10th is a repeat of the 1978 series Law and Order with an introduction from writer GF Newman at 10 p.m. followed by all four parts that tell one police investigation from different viewpoints (A Detective's Tale, A Villain's Tale, A Brief's Tale and A Prisoner's Tale), ending at 3:40 a.m.!
And the surprise turn up of the week is BBC2 showing 1948 Rosalind Russell starring film noir The Velvet Touch at 6:30 a.m. on Thursday 11th!

Re: Upcoming Movies on TV (UK)
That's Memories has actually turned up on my non-Sky box, Freeview aerial-tuned set (unlike Talking Pictures), so I'll have to keep an eye on it! Thanks for the reminder jlnight, although I did just pick up the "Flesh & Blood Show" and "Sexploitation 70s" Pete Walker sets, so I'm OK for Die Screaming Marianne! And I wholeheartedly endorse All The Right Noises!
Looking through the schedule for the next week there are a lot of mid-20th century British comedies - tonight there is the Diana Dors comedy It's A Grand Life; in the early hours of Tuesday 9th there is the feature film sitcom spin off For The Love of Ada with Irene Handl; Wednesday 10th there is an early David McCallum film Jungle Street; and Thursday 10th is the Peggy Mount (i.e. the lady who specialised in harridan mother-in-laws. Sailor Beware! was her most famous of those) comedy Ladies Who Do.
More promisingly along with The Magnificent Seven Deadly Sins on Saturday 13th at 2:20 a.m. there are two other films that look interesting. Speaking of BFI Flipside releases, there is another Pete Walker film coming up at 2:45 a.m. in the early hours of Sunday 14th with The Big Switch, which I wrote up a while back, and whilst it is not ever really convincing as a plausible crime thriller, its... weirdly interesting. I still think that Walker is a better horror director than of other genres though.
And tucked away at 2:40 a.m. in the early hours of Friday 12th is The Man on the Eiffel Tower from 1949 which stars and is co-directed by Burgess Meredith (one of only two films he directed) and... Charles Laughton, six years before The Night of the Hunter!

Re: Upcoming Movies on TV (UK)
Good call on The Big Switch. The schedules have not been updated yet but you can spot it on the EPG if you scroll through the different days!
As for Pete Walker on UK TV, Die Screaming Marianne turned up on ITV in 1977, The Comeback played on network ITV in the 1980s (House of the Long Shadows did the rounds on regional ITV). It wasn't until Channel 5 began in the late 90s that Tiffany Jones appeared, then nothing. You would have to wait until London Live and Talking Pictures started broadcasting in the last decade that Walker's films started appearing again with LL showing Cool It Carol, School for Sex, Man of Violence, House of Whipcord, and The Comeback, while TPTV have more recently shown Whipcord, House of Mortal Sin, Long Shadows and The Flesh and Blood Show. I think Frightmare may have been shown on the Freeview HD-version of TPTV while Schizo definitely turned up on Legend/Horror.
So, that's most of his filmography on sort-of-terrestrial telly. All very piecemeal.

Re: Upcoming Movies on TV (UK)
The Horror channel did a Pete Walker season in 2012 where they showed at least Frightmare and House of Whipcord, although the big draw at that time was the UK TV premiere of The Flesh & Blood Show only 40 years after it was made! And that was the one that for the longest time had been left out of the mid-2000s "Pete Walker Collection" coffin-shaped Anchor Bay DVD set until these new Blu-ray sets came out.
And in about an hour, at 10:40 p.m. they are showing the 1999 documentary Bruce Lee: The Legend Lives On. Which at least is a bit of a contrast to all of the World War Two grainy stock footage with overlaid narration shows that it seems that the channel is otherwise full of!

Re: Upcoming Movies on TV (UK)
The big film of next week is Matthew Vaughan's prequel to the Kingsman films, the improbably starry 1910s set The King's Man on Channel 4 at 9 p.m. on Saturday 13th. Film4 is trailing a double bill of 'women's trouble' films with Jessica Chastain's Oscar winning performance in The Eyes of Tammy Faye at 9 p.m. on Monday 15th followed by Queenpins at 9 p.m. on Tuesday 16th.

Repeat-wise, Law of Tehran gets its first un-DOG-tagged screening on BBC2 at 1 a.m. in the early hours of Sunday 14th. And BBC4 does a Donald Sutherland tribute evening on Thursday 18th with The Eagle Has Landed at 8 p.m., the 2001 Scene by Scene Sutherland interview by Mark Cousins at 10:10 p.m. and the 1993 BBC film The Railway Station Man at 10:55 p.m.

Re: Upcoming Movies on TV (UK)
That's Memories have updated their schedules and added the following:
Neither the Sea Nor the Sand, late Wed 17th July
Sin**, late Thu 18th July
The Asphyx, late Fri 19th July
**The early schedules have it down as Sin (2003), a Gary Oldman cash-grab but the EPG reckons it is the 1971 George P. Cosmatos film starring Raquel Welch, which seems more plausible. In fact Sin and Neither the Sea Nor the Sand both featured on a late night season in the ITV Central region in 1983, dubbed "The X Rater".
Also with the feature film version of For The Love of Ada, tonight's Magnificent Seven Deadly Sins and Neither the Sea Nor the Sand, there is a bit of a Tigon connection. (hint, hint!)

Re: Upcoming Movies on TV (UK)
Good spot re Tigon. I wonder how many of these will end up in 88 Films Tigon Collection.
Talking Pictures are showing a lot of early Hammer at the moment. I watched River Patrol from 1948 and it is terrible, but I would happily buy an Indicator release with input from Steve Chibnall or Barry Forshaw. That and others have a new John Gore Hammer logo at the start, a less fancy version of the Marvel intro. Which is probably more interesting than the film was…

Re: Upcoming Movies on TV (UK)
I wouId particularly love an Indicator Hammer volume dedicated to the early sci-fi films, maybe throwing in 1961's X The Unknown as the big name draw. On that note, I did see that Talking Pictures is showing Spaceways next week (at 7 p.m. on Friday 19th), which is an early sci-fi film for the studio and suggests a direction that the studio could have gone in before horror proved to be more fruitful. Indeed the key to the transition from one genre to the other, The Quatermass Experiment, was only two years afterwardsDr Amicus wrote: Fri Jul 12, 2024 2:21 pm Talking Pictures are showing a lot of early Hammer at the moment.

Re: Upcoming Movies on TV (UK)
The Magnificent Seven Deadly Sins looked in really good condition on the print shown last night. And it is particularly interesting to see these uncharacteristic non-horror Tigon films getting broadcasts. Very much looking forward to Neither The Sea Nor The Sand! (and whilst its not Tigon, Sin too, since it is George P. Cosmatos' first film!)
Another item of interest is that Frank Capra's 1943 World War Two propaganda film Why We Fight: The Battle of Britain is showing on the channel at 5 p.m. on Friday 19th.
There's another one in the early hours of Sunday 21st with The Body Stealers at 1:50 a.m., which has come out in 88 Films' Tigon Collection. I presume The Beast In The Cellar may be coming soon!Dr Amicus wrote: Fri Jul 12, 2024 2:21 pm Good spot re Tigon. I wonder how many of these will end up in 88 Films Tigon Collection.

That's kind of why linear television schedules still feel important for giving room for such material to fill broadcaster's schedules as well as providing access (and a reason for keeping that material around in the best shape possible) to works that even with the best will in the world probably do not have that much of a commercial viability to them!

Upcoming Movies on TV (UK)
TPTV (or Indicator On Air as I like to think of them) are also showing Confessions from a Holiday Camp on Saturday 29th July, and I missed the late Tod Slaughter effort The Greed of William Hart this morning.

Re: Upcoming Movies on TV (UK)
Very quiet next week. Channel 5 has three TV movie premieres (two from 2024!) but other than that there is only one big new film airing with Norwegian drama Sick of Myself on Film4 at 11:25 p.m. on Tuesday 23rd, the previous feature by Kristoffer Borgli who recently did the Nicolas Cage starring Dream Scenario.
____
Repeat-wise BBC2 is showing Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice at 10 p.m. on Saturday 20th, from The Times of Harvey Milk and The Celluloid Closet director Rob Epstein. And BBC4's archive television strand is showing Richard Eyre's 1981 drama Country at 9:15 p.m. on Thursday 25th, which already screened in 2020, but this time around there is a new 15 minute interview preceding it with Eyre at 9 p.m.
Lots of curios That's Memories!-wise though, with The Final Test showing at 2:10 a.m. on Monday 22nd (a much more obscure Anthony Asquith directed film based on a Terence Rattigan play than The Browning Version); the Spike Milligan film The Great McGonagall (with Peter Sellers as Queen Victoria! Is this what they based the later Mrs Brown on?) is at 2:10 a.m. on Tuesday 23rd; and the Dutch World War 2 film The Only Way is at 2 a.m. on Wednesday 24th (apparently the first film role for Jane Seymour! And with a score by Carl Davis)

Re: Upcoming Movies on TV (UK)
A Study In Terror is one of the best Jack the Ripper films and best Sherlock Holmes films at the same time!
Tower of Evil is an interesting curio produced by Richard Gordon (Fiend Without A Face; the films in Criterion's Monsters & Madmen set) in his late period. A pre-Confessions Of... Robin Askwith turns up here amongst the initial group of teens who get slasher-film killed in the opening section of the film before the more plot armoured group of characters come to the lighthouse to investigate the previous murders! Which pairs it up nicely with Askwith's much larger role as the hero in the following year's Horror Hospital, being menaced by homicidal doctor Michael Gough!
(I also realised why I had never seen Sin before yesterday evening's showing, as I looked back and noted that it had turned up on Channel 5 a couple of times, screening in 1997 and 1999 during Channel 5's early "films, f**king and football" remit that also included the first UK television screenings of a lot of the early Russ Meyer films, and tons of those early 90s erotic thrillers starring the likes of Shannon Whirry. Unfortunately I only managed to receive Channel 5 in my area in 2008, long after that halcyon age had passed into the all night shopping and live roulette gambling shows to fill the dead hours that have persisted to this day)

Re: Upcoming Movies on TV (UK)
Very documentary focused next week. BBC1 and 2 are showing the Paris Olympics, whilst Film4 goes into hibernation for the week too, with very little of note aside from a repeat of River at 12:40 a.m. on Tuesday 30th. jlnight has noted the big events with the first interesting programme showing on Channel 4 in years (since Don't Hug Me, I'm Scared from late 2022 for me!), with the first part of Saucy! Secrets of the British Sex Comedy showing at 10 p.m. on Sunday 28th. We will have to see how it, ahem, measures up to Angus Deayton's 1995 piece Doing Rude Things, which was the last television documentary to dare to probe around inside that gap of cinema history!
BBC4's Storyville documentary of the week is Trump supporter documentary A Storm Foretold at 10 p.m. on Tuesday 30th. BBC2 is showing Hiroshima and Nagasaki documentary Atomic People at 9 p.m. on Wednesday 31st.
BBC2 starts the second series of Interview With The Vampire from 9 p.m. on Thursday 1st August.
And as jlnight noted, Channel 4 has the one film premiere of the week with How To Build A Girl at 12:05 a.m. in the early hours of Friday 2nd, which as with How To Lose Friends & Alienate People would seem to be confirming all of the worst fears about journalists!
____
Not too much of note repeat-wise, although BBC2 is showing The Shining at 10 p.m. on Sunday 28th, presumably in tribute to Shelley Duvall
That's Memories!-wise, and to somewhat repeat jlnight's earlier post, tonight at 1:25 a.m. is the most exciting film of the week, with The Tall Headlines (aka The Frightened Bride) which is directed by Terence Young a decade before Dr No, and stars Mai Zetterling! Tower of Evil is showing at 2 a.m. in the early hours of Friday 26th (I had forgotten about Robin Askwith's terrible American accent until seeing that trailer!); rather than the 1971 version, it appears that it will be the 1946 version of Black Beauty showing at 2:30 a.m. on Saturday 27th (I doubt Charlotte Dujardin will be staying up to watch that one!). A Study In Terror is at 2:50 a.m. on Sunday 28th. And the real oddity of the week (and presumably premiere showing) is the fallout of Chernobyl documentary The Russian Woodpecker at 9:55 p.m. on Sunday 28th.

Also A Study in Terror did not turn up, it was replaced by For The Love of Ada. More That's Memories repeats this week though I see that some episodes of Comic Strip Presents are on as well as something called Derek (2005). That's TV, a frustrating network.

Re: Upcoming Movies on TV (UK)
Yes, and the Frank Capra Battle of Britain film did not turn up either, instead it was a more contemporary documentary.jlnight wrote: Sun Jul 28, 2024 7:38 pm Also A Study in Terror did not turn up, it was replaced by For The Love of Ada.

Very little of note on the television next week. The second and final part of Saucy! is on Channel 4 and the second series of Irvine Welsh's Crime is starting on ITV1 at 9 p.m. on Wednesday 7th (though somehow they've managed to make the second episode on Thursday clash against Interview With The Vampire on BBC2). No new feature films and only one premiere of a TV movie on Channel 5.
Repeat-wise, little of note either, though Jean-Pierre Jeunet's Alien: Resurrection turns up at 10:10 p.m. on ITV4 on Thursday 8th. Fingers crossed that "That's Memories!" saves the week!
EDIT (3rd August): Well, it looks as if there are no films scheduled up to and including Saturday 10th, although tonight at 8:10 p.m. there is one thing, with the 2013 documentary short film Bordering on Treason screening for the first time.
