Something old something new . . . .
BLACK ‘47 (2018) Wednesday 31 August 9.00-11.05pm Film Four    P 
This ‘Irish western’ was on our questionnaire following its cinema release, but didn’t quite pick up the required number of votes. A pity, as it is rather good – exciting, well-performed and always interesting. James Flecheville returns home after fighting for the British abroad, only to take up arms against them in a quest for revenge.
REVENGE OF THE CREATURE (1955) Wednesday 31 August 4.00-5.35pm Legend (Channel 41)             
If, like me, you are a completist then this was Clint Eastwood’s debut. He is the lab technician in a white coat that is looking for some mice! Jack Arnold (see last week) directed the sequel to the previous year’s superior Creature from the Black Lagoon.
