THE DARK KNIGHT (2008), ITV 9.00-11.55pm (+1 10.00pm-12.55am).

Tempted to be a dick and point out it's technically "Marvel Avengers Assemble"...

(Weirdly it's US title has a possessive credit (Marvel's The Avengers) but the UK one doesn't)...

Has Cinderella really never been on terrestrial TV before? I guess it follows Lady and the Tramp from 2 years ago and Alice in Wonderland last year though, long may that continue.

I expect The Lion King to premier in December 2045 at this rate.

Woah, 2 movies premieres from ITV!

Is John Carter still scheduled? Not that it's must see or anything

That and Albert Nobbs nowhere to be seen yet. Digiguide just updated, so looking through it now.


I recall Alice in Wonderland animated version being on ITV before.

Updates - Minor time adjustments as well as schedule movements, would also note if a film has been removed, none yet, i'm looking at you, The Dark Knight.

More angry with cylon6 beating me to Skyfall

101 Dalmatians is surely the live action one? In which case it's trotted out every year so certainly not a première!

Finally! The Dark Knight. I've waited so long now I'm not even gonna bother watching to be honest... the fascination has gone.

Skyfall at 8pm? Will be edited surely to remove the F word towards the end. I wonder if they'll show the 2:35.1 version of the cropped one that did the rounds on Sky...?

Yes. It looks like 101 Dalmatioms is definitely the movie not the animation. I feel the same way about The Dark Knight, it has taken so long that I'm not that interested anymore.
I remember Alice In Wonderland getting premiered on ITV in the eighties. And BBC1 were wise to move that Yemen movie. Not a big movie, more people will have heard of The Help.

Haven't BBC TWO already shown The Help? Pretty sure it was on earlier this year?

This thread has become the literal embodiment of Moby Dick. You finally caught your white whale, but it destroyed you in the process.

I'm sure The Help is a premiere.

Gran Torino it is.

btw there's more time updates coming, there were a few the other day like Flicka 2 moving by 5 minutes, i've waited and Flicka 2 moved again lol, so will post an update now.

I'm almost certain that The Help has already been on BBC TWO earlier this year in a late night slot. I definitely did see it before earlier this year, I think it was a late Saturday or Sunday night shwing around 10/11pm.

M - Treasure Island (1934), 6.30am-8.10am, Channel 4 - Seems like Digiguide gave Channel 4 special dispensation for listings for the day just to list this premiere, changed from the original 2012 listing, it's a film from 1934 which has not yet due to various rights issues according to listings.

So that's it again for now, John Carter materialises, still no sign of Albert Nobbs though, so expect another update before final if it is arriving.

Are you sure it's not the animated 101 Dalmatians. The slot is too short for the live action one.
