Didn't see that one coming - was expecting the BBC & ITV to be battling it out for this years Christmas Day movie - CH4 have beaten them to it.

Good news in that it won't be ripped to shreds...

It will still get ruined by adverts tho

Jerome

When a film is 5 decades long, you need a few adverts. Unless you have a Herculean strength bladder...

Fair point mate!! lol

CH4 is the best at editting a film sensibly for ads & have the least. A big one the other day was split halfway with only one ad

this is the standard release rather than the extended edition i presume ?

Markus

I'd assume standard release. The channels over here have just got round to showing LOTR FOTR and it's the standard edition. The subscription movie chanels are the only ones I've seen the extended editions on so far.

IIRC they would have got first dibs at it, I'm sure their production company was one of the backers.

bonkers

Y'all don't own the DVD extended editions by now???

For shame!

not yet......it was that or the "how to stick pins in your eyes DIY begineers guide"............i'm affraid LOTR was a close second.
