I'm fairly certain you could put it on at any time and it would get the same figures. Anime just isn't that popular over here...

Have oscar 1991 starting sly stallone been on tv in my mind it was on itv many years ago but I don't know for definite.

Yeah it has.One Bank Holiday Monday around 2000 in the morning.Shame it was on so early as I thought it was a better film than I thought it was gonna be

Channel 4 for early morning movies are awesome, less commercials than normal, and shorter breaks too.

Speaking of old Warner Bros films being on other channels, and saying older ones get distributed everywhere, that sorta isn't the case, BBC aired Superman Returns premiere and still might have the rights, ITV can't have had an exclusivity deal with WB at the time I'm guessing, perhaps had it later.

I'm sure that BBC One will have exclusive rights to Universal's King Kong (2005) for Easter once ITV's rights expired.

Channel 4 has now got the rights for universal films.

The most recent ones, ITV have had their package for what seems like years. They were on previously on the BBC.

It has only include Fast Five and The Grinch, not King Kong (which is still on ITV until March 2015, then BBC1 have the rights after that)

I still don't know how Superman Returns ended up on the BBC. Maybe ITV didn't fancy it?

How do you know they'll go to The BBC and not another channel?

Brewster's Millions, An American Tail: Fievel Goes West, Van Helsing, Wanted, Fast Five, True Lies. All be on channel 4.

They have the new ones and quite a few from the back catalogue.

True Lies is 20th Century Fox, not Universal.

True Grit (2010) coming to BBC2 for Sunday 1st February, 10pm-11.45pm. It's currently listed as the John Wayne version of which BBC don't have the rights, nor would they be airing the 1969 version Sunday at 10pm, that and it's the length of the 2010 version and not the 1969 version in the listings.

That's good as I missed this remake the last time BBC2 showed it. Is it technically a Paramount film?

It's been on before?

According to the BBC website Saturday 15th February last year...

Yes. I wanted to see it and missed it. Not this time. Was surprised it was on BBC as it was a Paramount film.

I like how Paddy C almost got the time correct.

Oh whoops, so it has.

* 91 years later! Still plenty of silents before it that have never been shown, but a worthy contender for "one of the longest gaps from cinema release to tv screening"...

What about Buster Keaton films to come back on BBC2 this year because it's 120 years ago since film cinema first come out, I hope they might showing the Centenary ident again on Network and Wales

OK, I'll bite, you are aware what a Centenary is right?

One would assume it's the new BFI restoration, did they show The Great White Silence as well? Because one would have thought they'd make a good double bill for BBC Four...
