View Full Version : Big trouble / little China ITV WED
John Carpenter's action adventure starring Kurt Russell is on Border ITV Wed night / Thur morning at 12.25 am.
If u have Sky digital u can receive this by a few pushes of the remote control - if interested let me know and I'll post instructions - although they are bound to be on this site somewhere already.

Isn't your digibox setup with channel 103 as ITV?
I also dread to think what they will do in terms of cuts to this :(
as far as i know ITV have NEVER cut Big Trouble........
Everytime i have seen it, it has been uncut
...and quite right too!
Excellent film though, well worth staying up for.
(If you haven't got the R1 SE:D.)
I think it is only Border ITV who are broadcasting it.
Certainly here in central Scotland we are getting 'She' at the same time - the Ursula Andress horror.
Channel 103 only gets you the local ITV channel.
Check to see what they are broadcasting on your 103 - 12.25am Thurs morning - if it ain't Big TRouble.... then you will need to program your Sky box to find the other local ITV channels - not a complicated process.

Maybe so it can remain uncut?

Scratch any chance of it being on HTV then! Over the past few weeks, they haven't shown The Terminator or Platoon and another one, but they showed Robocop 3 no problems :rolleyes:
I HATE WELSH TELEVISION! AND THIS BLOODY HILL WON'T LET ME HAVE SKY OR ITV DIGITAL!!! AAAARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!
Gonna have to watch Warlock on sky instead, havent seen that film in years :D
anyway didnt ITV show this not long ago?

There's an excellent R1 2-disc DVD available (with a DTS soundtrack). Highlight is a commentary track with Kurt Russell & John Carpenter - it's a real hoot!
yea the R1 set is mint!!
compare the print ITV shows with the R1 DVD, the ITV one really shows its age!
whens region 2 version out

It must be on Yorkshire too, as i added it to my Sky+ planner last night from the "standard" ITV1 channel for me.

What’s the big deal about a late night pan & scan showing of a poor print interrupted by ads? There’s a perfectly decent DVD available so I don’t get why this is turning into the "On TV" forum.
not on bout the pan and scan thing, just saying u appreciate the dvd print wen u look at the very old colourless ITV print, i am sure ITV will not be crying at my comments.
and the dvd which is available is not out in UK on region 2, i am lucky enuff to hav the R1 version
