What a strange approach to the TV schedules at Channel 5. I am slightly confused as to the weird 'pairing' that's evident for this week's viewing.
Yesterday, 23rd November, Channel 5 kicked off its timely showing of Christmas movies with a triple-bill of B-movies, from 2.10pm until 7.20pm. I was not inclined to view any of the three, which were:
An Old Fashioned Christmas
A Christmas Visitor
Single Santa Seeks Mrs Claus
I have just seen that today, there's a further triple helping, four-and-a-half weeks ahead of Christmas:
A Boyfriend For Christmas
Noel
Annie Claus Is Coming To Town
In making sure I avoid all three, I checked the rest of the listings to see what other offerings might be of interest, and was surprised to note that after Annie Claus gets to town, Channel 5 gives us another film (Entrapment) before embarking on a strange further triple-bill:
Hitler's 9/11 [How Nazis planned to launch attacks on America]
Valkyrie [Film about the 1944 plot to assassinate Hitler]
7 Days That Made The Fuhrer [Documentary]
On Monday, at 10pm, Channel 5 has: The Cave: Hiding From The Nazis, but nothing Christmassy. On Tuesday, there is one of each:
Mrs Miracle
Nazi Quest For The Holy Grail
Wednesday's pairing is:
Annie Claus Is Coming To Town [A blatant repeat just three days after the Sunday showing]
Children Of The Master Race
I've no idea what's going on, but would almost bet on there being further padding with weak Christmas films in next week's schedules, and I will monitor for any unlikely parallel attention to Hitler and the Nazis.
