I wonder how many of those films will be worth a watch. I find most films on the 'Great' channels are old repeats.

OH. watched the Godfather films (well 2 of them) last night for the umpteenth time.

Many will probably ignore it :-D



It seems autumn 'tis no longer the spooky season, with the channel set to launch more than eight weeks before trick-or-treaters pound the pavements for Halloween.

A whopping 172 films will take viewers right up to Christmas Day and beyond - putting your average Advent calendar, with its mere 25 doors, to shame.

The channel of cheer, part of the Great! TV network, will be available on Freeview 52, Sky 319, Virgin 424 and online.

It is set to temporarily replace Great! Romance, until January 6, just after Twelfth Night, when the celebrations - and the leftover turkey - will be well and truly finished.

The handover from the home of love stories means the whole Christmas schedule will too have a romantic theme, with some inevitable meetings under the mistletoe.
