Every film on Freeview tonight, plus every film on the main channels for the next seven days, in one place. Times are London and come from the broadcast schedule, so late-running sport or news can push an evening film back.

Where a channel breaks a film around a news bulletin, it is listed once at its real start time rather than twice. The list rebuilds each morning: today drops off the front and a new day joins the end.

TV Radar Team

TV Radar Team is the byline on TV Radar's automatically generated TV guides — covering BBC One, BBC Two, ITV1, Channel 4, Channel 5 and beyond. Each evening's schedule is built from the published listings (titles, start times, run lengths and episode numbers) and checked against our listings data before publication, so you can decide in two minutes what to record and what to skip. These guides are generated automatically rather than written by hand; a human editor spot-checks them, but not every page is read before it goes live. Based in London, updated every day.
