They've shown it a few times before, but not since October 2009. I agree that it deserves to be shown again soonish. It all depends on what kind of agreement they have with Disney, who are notoriously fussy about what can be shown when.

I really hope The Lion King premieres on British terrestrial TV this year. The 3D re-release has been done and dusted now and the film was allowed to be shown on free-to-air television in Australia for the first time a month or so ago.

What kind of rules do Disney set, is it just how many times a film can be shown, or is it when and on which channel as well?

9pm Movie Premiere: A Perfect Getaway (2009) on Channel 5/HD.

Ah, thanks


I'm liking these Sunday Afternoon Premieres that Channel 4 is doing, it's a good idea to have movies on in the afternoon, rather than in primetime where other programmes may be coming on as well! Good on Channel 4!

I'd assume they don't select which Channel they get shown on, otherwise Channel 5 would never have got repeat rights...

This has been pushed back to 4.25pm. It now clashes with another movie premiere in the form of The Water Horse (2007) which starts at 4.20pm on Channel 5 (HD).


This was pulled in the final schedules. It should be rescheduled sometime soon.

Start of a new week, so this is bumped back up..

It looks like C4 are showing Terminator Salvation on Sat 28th April. But how is that possible, don't C5 have the rights to all new Sony Pictures titles?

Terminator Salvation was produced by Warner Bros... If I'm not too mistaken.

Warner Bros. held US distribution rights, and Sony Pictures held non-US distribution rights.

Anyone know what Channel 4 are premiering on Sunday 29th April afternoon?

Bandslam (2009).

FRIDAY 4TH - HOT ROD (2007) - CH.4, 11.55pm-1.35am.

Any one no if channel4 or flim4 plan on showing jennifer body.

Some channels do get one off showings of films from other companies. Channel 4 have shown the odd Warner Bros. film (which ITV have the rights to) and also some Touchstone films (which the BBC have rights to).

Probably better that it's on Channel 4 anyway, it won't be cut, will be in HD and also in the correct aspect ratio.

Looking forward to the weekend - here's a reminder of the movie premieres, and up to & incl Fri. 4th:-



SATURDAY 28TH - TERMINATOR SALVATION (2009) - CH.4, 9.30-11.45pm.



SUNDAY 29TH - MEET DAVE (2008) - CH.4, 2.20-4.00pm.

MY NAME IS KHAN (2009) - CH.4, 12.20-2.30am (Monday).



WEDNESDAY 2ND - 'TIL LIES DO US PART (2007) - CH.5, 3.15-5.00pm.



FRIDAY 4TH - HOT ROD (2007) - CH.4, 11.55pm-1.35am.

The Dark Knight is on Irish TV for the 4th time now... ITV have yet to show it once.

The same could be said for all recent premieres of Sony Pictures titles on Channel 5 too.

Only when rights don't allow are titles not shown in HD / desired aspect ratio.

There's one more premiere this weekend and I'm looking forward to it. Good cast and promising reviews:
