Last updated: 3/21/2025

TV Movie of the Week

Also known as Previously theatrically released movie of the week that happens to be on television, or definitely not a TV movie but an actually real movie on television.

As well as providing reviews of the new films out at the cinema that week, Mark also provides a recommendation of a movie out of all the ones being screened on the many UK TV channels in the following week. Listeners are invited to try and guess the movie that Mark will pick, but in most cases his TV movie of the week will be something on Film4 in the middle of the night. There is currently no prize for getting this right.
