Labyrinth (1986) to be shown on terrestrial TV for first time in nearly 20 years
That's right, it was December 31, 1995 when Jim Henson's Labyrinth was last shown on BBC one. Marking the last time it was broadcast on UK terrestrial television.
Although being shown over the years on channels like the Disney Channel it hasn't been shown on any other terrestrial broadcaster since.
However, Channel 5 will today be showing the film at 5.15pm.

Your welcome 😊
I have both The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth on DVD but I did have a shock that they both haven't been shown on terrestrial for so long. Both were on the BBC. Dark Crystal only on BBC TWO. Whereas Labyrinth shown on both BBC one and BBC TWO.
Today also marks the first ever HD broadcast of Labyrinth in the UK.
I presume The Dark Crystal was in HD for first time on Channel 4 HD?
It was and was wonderful to see.
I feel The Dark Crystal would make a good franchise and Labyrinth deserves a follow up or prequel too. Although I'm not usually one for sequels the environments created in these movies are rich and the use of puppets so unique. They could work wonders with modern special effects.
I used have an American friend who called it "the babysitter movie" since her
babysitter would always watch it with her and her brother. A few years later, she
met the babysitter and learned the reason why-said babysitter had a massive
crush on the Thin White Duke.
Over rated IMO.
And on that subject. surely I can't be the only one interested in "Krull 2" ?
Fire Mares !
Labyrinth & The Dark Crystal are among my list of favourite films of all time.
No offense but I stopped listening to VC a very long time ago.
Any film or book which dares to have imagination? MUST be occult symbolism(!) Young actor/actress or singer tragically dying before his/her time? MUST of been killed by the occult(!)
Don't get me wrong I'm not the type of person who thinks you should always believe your government 100% without question no matter what but neither should you always believe Conspiracy Theories 100% without question no matter what.
Take David Ike for example, he was right about the child abuse scandal but does that now automatically make all of his other Conspiracy Theories right?
I'd rather see Liam Neeson in that than Taken 4.
If "Clash of the TItans" got a remake, maybe "Krull" and "TDC" can get ones too...
"Liam Neeson stars in this visually spectacular fantasy epic, where love is the only weapon againt evil"
I watched labyrinth when it was on channel five recently
great movie and one we watched many times as kids
we had to borrow it from the lady two doors down as my mother kept forgetting to tape it when it was on. My sister has it on dvd
Funny, the sheer nostalgia surrounding these rather naff eighties fantasies that bombed on release.
I suppose they'll all get rebooted into trillion dollar trilogies now.
