Some of what's on Legend (formerly Horror Channel UK) in September:

- Convoy (channel premiere)
- The Driver (channel premiere)
- the original Knight Rider TV series (channel premiere)
- Iron Eagle II (channel premiere)
- Iron Eagle III (channel premiere)
- The Wall (UK TV premiere)
- The Final Wish (channel premiere)
- The Shed (channel premiere).

Noticed in the new issue of TV & Satellite Week magazine that both The Time Tunnel and Knight Rider start repeat runs on Legend from next Monday evening (5th September) at 6 pm - 7 pm and 7 pm - 8 pm respectively. I don't know about The Time Tunnel, but Knight Rider's pilot was a feature-length episode, so based on the Legend listings info, they're showing it as a two-part pilot.

Due to a news story, this week's edition of The Film Review will be first shown on the BBC News channel tomorrow night at 11.45 pm - midnight. Have checked Sky's Catch-up service and it wasn't in the BBC section earlier (occasionly, when the programme has been postponed because of a news story, they still make it available via Sky's Catch-up service, even when it hasn't yet aired on the BBC News channel).

[OceanBlue]

Haven't yet watched it, but The Film Review DID air on the BBC News channel earlier in the usual late afternoon/early evening timeslot. First new edition for three weeks.

Slacking a bit here (some catching-up to do), but I forgot to post in here on the first of this month, what was on Legend Lowdown (some of the films and TV series on Legend in October):

- Cold Skin (channel premiere)
- First Man Into Space (channel premiere)

and TV series Star Trek: The Next Generation and Walker, Texas Ranger.

More than likely, I won't post about this week's edition of The Film Review until early next week. I know the first airing (which is normally on the BBC News channel at 5.45 pm - 6 pm on a Friday) wasn't shown earlier, postponed until tonight because of a news story. The next airing would be late tomorrow night, if it wasn't shown tonight.

The other reason I won't be posting the usual weekly post yet, is because when I saw the updated Sky listings information yesterday, the first of the three films being reveiwed is Halloween Ends, which I'm trying to keep as unspoiled about as I can. I don't believe the first two films in the Blumhouse Halloween trilogy were on The Film Review four years ago and last year respectively (Kermode reviewed them on the Radio 5 film review show he did with Simon Mayo, but since then they've both moved to a different station (something to do with a podcast).

The films on last week's edition of The Film Review (cinema, DVD, Blu-ray and streaming releases), presented by Jane Hill and Mark Kermode (in the BBC Television Centre studio), postponed from last Friday, first shown last Saturday night:

- Halloween Ends
- All Quiet on the Western Front
- Emily
- Cinema and streaming: In the Court of the Crimson King.

Didn't know this until I noticed last Friday that this coming Friday late afternoon/early evening, The Film Review has been replaced with a shorter version of The Travel Show.

Knew that was the case when I saw it wasn't in the listings for this coming Friday, in addition to the listings information for last Friday's edition. I'd be interested to know the reason why it's finished.

I too would be interested to know why it is more important to have another repeat of the travel show than show the film review even once
