Before I say my piece I will admit I am not a Harry Potter fan.
Anyway, look at this weekend for films on BBC, Camelot, Bednobs and Broomsticks, both films who have casts mostly dead and today Dances With Wolves. Hardly recent are they.
And the big Bank Holiday film, Avengers Assembled, shown multiple times at Christmas.
OMG you seem to have forgotten what the BBC offer is "sacrosanct" you'll be sent for retraining:o:o
Remember ITV is free, They are not as lucky as the BBC with a annual budget of £4.5BILLION pounds. So they do their best to offer great content for FREE!. I guess if they were allowed some of the BBC's £4.5Billion pounds then they could offer more?
ITV is not free. When you buy a product, it will more than likely within the price will have an advertising budget to get the advert onto TV for transmission so believe me you are paying for ITV and the other commerical channels
I never understand why ITV just repeat showing Potter and Bond films, like their under the impression they need to keep things British. Don't they own rights to Hollywood films like the Dark Knight and stuff, surely they'll provide bigger ratings?

Try showing The Dark Knight at 3pm on a bank holiday, see where it lands you with Ofcom...

It's not anymore violent than 007 films though, 007 glorifies murder and death while I can't remember much deaths in the Batman films, and if that's the case, they do surely own the rights to much more films other than the "British national treasures" of Specky and Mr Number?

The amount of violence is not the problem, the level of detail or implied detail is. The Dark Knight contains a lot of moderate violence and then a few moments that seem stronger than they actually are (if you go through it frame-by-frame the "pencil trick" scene has no detail whatsoever, yet watching it in motion people think they see a lot more than they do.)
There's also a bit of knife threat and the use of dark humour gives the film an unsettling tone, that wouldn't go down well with young children. Couple that with the enormous controversy the film generated with it's 12A certificate, and you can only imagine the shitstorm ITV would release if it went out before 9pm uncut.
The Daniel Craig Casino Royale also suffers from similar issues, and ITV won't play that out before 9pm either.

Or there's Sky with its monthly charge to view and adverts on top
I may be a huge fan of the BBC, but even I am not so blind as to think their movie offerings are anything but lightweight, have been for years.
