TV TREATS:
So if you are planning a night in to start the Bank Holiday the 90’s classic, The Wedding Singer, is on 5* at 9pm. My Friday night favourite at the moment is Outnumbered on BBC 1 at 9.30, its a repeat but I still think it’s brilliant to watch!
Saturday night on Channel 4 Titanic makes a big splash at 6.25 and one for the kids its the brilliant Nanny McPhee on ITV2 at 7pm; then if there are any dancers in the house Step up 2: The Streets is on from 9 pm. Once the kids are in tucked up in bed Run Fat Boy Run is on Film 4 at 9pm.
If all the sport and Formula 1 has worn you out Sunday afternoon then find a good spot on the Sofa for the premiere of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button on Channel 4 at 9pm, competing for your attention is The Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s chest on BBC 1 at the same time.
