Another Bank Holiday Monday almost done and dusted. A different one to most others we've weathered over the years, but an extra day off is always welcome and I don't know about you, but I plan on spending the evening on the couch, wrapped up like a burrito.
What's on the box tonight? Choose between the following movies on TV:
Super 8 - 7:50pm - FilmFour
A group of young friends sneak out at night to film their own Super 8 movie. Witnesses to a train crash, they spend the rest of the summer investigating subsequent unexplained events in their small town.
