15:00pm That Riviera Touch (U) 1966

Comedy, starring an uncomfortable-looking Eric Morecambe and Ernie Wise as clumsy traffic wardens who take a break in the South of France following an unfortunate incident with a member of the royal family. However, their relaxation comes to an end when they're caught up in a jewellery-smuggling ring. Despite a suitably convoluted plot, the twosome's distinctive brand of comedy never translated well to the big screen, and this offering is no exception. Suzanne Lloyd and Peter Jeffrey co-star

16:55pm Only Yesterday (PG) 1991

A bored and frustrated woman embarks on a heady trip down memory lane in this dreamy animated fantasy. She's sick of her routine life, but reminiscing about a foray into the countryside, she recalls a lost romance with a handsome farm labourer, prompting her to wonder what he's doing now. Directed by acclaimed film-maker Isao Takahata. Dubbed in English (888)

19:20pm Carry On Dick (PG) 1974

Lawmen Kenneth Williams and Jack Douglas dedicate themselves to catching cheeky highwayman Sid James, and enlist the help of a local reverend. But little do they realise the pious pastor and his buxom housemaid aren't all they seem. Ribald comedy, notable as being James's final appearance in the long-running franchise, co-starring the usual suspects including Barbara Windsor, Bernard Bresslaw, Joan Sims and Hattie Jacques (888)

21:00pm Pitch Black (15) 2000

A spacecraft crashes, marooning the few survivors on a barren planet where darkness brings an attack from seemingly indestructible aliens intent on killing them all. Their only hope of survival lies with a convicted murderer, but they're understandably reluctant to place their lives in his hands. Gritty sci-fi horror, with Vin Diesel on chilling form, alongside Radha Mitchell, Cole Hauser, Keith David and Rhiana Griffith (888)

23:00pm A Clockwork Orange (18) 1971
Stanley Kubrick's critically acclaimed but hugely controversial drama telling the story of Alex, a sadistic youth whose principal interests are rape, ultra-violence and Beethoven. Eventually arrested and imprisoned, Alex is subjected to a sinister form of aversion therapy designed to brainwash him into a state of placid conformity. Based on the novel by Anthony Burgess, with Malcolm McDowell, Warren Clarke, Patrick Magee, Adrienne Corri and David Prowse. Kubrick himself effectively banned the film in the UK, and it has only been available in Britain since the director's death in 1999 (888)

A man wrongly suspected of murder is attacked by the real killer, convincing the police of his innocence — and promptly sets out on a personal quest to ensure justice is done. Dario Argento's debut chiller, starring Tony Musante, Suzy Kendall and Eva Renzi (888)
