Films on TV This Week

UK television broadcasts hundreds of films every week across BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5, Film4, Sky Cinema, and other movie channels. Finding the best ones without scrolling through every channel's schedule is time-consuming, which is why our films on TV this week guide curates the highlights — the films actually worth watching.

We list the best film picks by day, by channel, and by genre, making it easy to find tonight's best movie regardless of what mood you are in. Film4 alone broadcasts several quality films every evening, and BBC Two's late-night film slot regularly features critically acclaimed titles. If you prefer on-demand films, our free streaming guide covers platforms with substantial free film libraries, including Pluto TV, Tubi, and Rakuten TV.

It is a popular channel for daytime and evening viewing, with shows like Ghost Adventures, Homes Under the Hammer repeats, and true crime documentaries drawing consistent audiences.

Scotland TV Programme Guide

Scottish viewers have access to regional programming that differs from the rest of the UK, particularly on BBC Scotland (a dedicated Scottish channel launched in 2019) and STV (Scotland's ITV franchise). Our Scotland TV programme guide covers these regional schedules alongside the national UK channels available in Scotland.

BBC Scotland broadcasts Scottish drama, comedy, news, and sport that is not available on the UK-wide BBC channels. STV offers regional news and some different programming from ITV in England. If you are outside Scotland and want to access these channels, our watch TV online guide covers how to stream regional channels via the internet.
