Innocent Moves BBC2 11.35am   When seven-year-old Max Pomerac quickly picks up the ability to play chess by watching a few games in Central Park, his father Joe Mantegna contacts former champion Ben Kingsley to train the prodigy. Steven Zaillian’s film is a lot more intelligent than your average sports movie. |
Executive Target Ch5 9pm  After his stomach-churning, ear-slicing turn in Reservoir Dogs, Michael Madsen quickly became typecast as your average nutcase with a gun. In this pacy if predictable 1992 thriller, Madsen gets a chance to be on the receiving end for a change when he is taken hostage during a hijacking. |

Blue Murder At St Trinian?s Ch4 1.45pm Policewoman Joyce Grenfell’s encounter with devious coach-owner Terry-Thomas, Alastair Sim and Lionel Jeffries in drag - and George Cole as a younger version of Arthur Daley - are just some of the lessons in laughter on the curriculum of Launder and Gilliat’s lively schoolgirl sequel. | ||
 |
Hello Again Ch5 3.30pm After being reincarnated by sister Judith Ivey, Shelley Long discovers that her husband Corbin Bernsen is now married to her best friend Sela Ward. Surgeon Gabriel Bryne provides the romance in a lightweight reincarnation comedy which didn?t do much for the Cheers star?s big-screen career. |

Inside Daisy Clover Ch5 3.30pm With her page-boy hairdo and permanent pout, Natalie Wood was surely far too cute to be credible as the disillusioned teenage movie star in Robert Mulligan’s camp soap set in Thirties Hollywood. Robert Redford and Christopher Plummer do better as the men who help mess up her life. |
 | Rent-A-Kid BBC1 2.35pm Matt McCoy and Sherry Miller want to experience parenthood before they decide to take the plunge and have children of their own, so salesman Leslie Neilsen has the bright idea of ‘renting’ them three children from his son’s orphanage. A sappy but sunny family comedy. | Hellinger's case Ch5 3.30pm Telly Savalas was really just playing Kojak again, but without the lollipop, memorable catch-phrases and badge, in this routine TV thriller series which cast him as a top defence lawyer. Here, the excuse for his big day in court is a Mob accountant charged with killing a TV newscaster. | ||||
 |
The Bedford Incident Ch4 1.40pm Sidney Poitier has a refreshingly colourblind role as an earnest reporter in this tense Cold War thriller. Despite that, it’s Richard Widmark’s powerhouse performance as the obsessive captain of a U.S. Navy destroyer on patrol in Greenland that’s the real driving force behind the drama. |

The Defiant Ones Ch4 1.45pm
|
Mr. Majestyk Ch5 9pm Melon farmer Charles Bronson finds that his experiences in Vietnam stand him in good stead when forced into violent action after he makes an enemy of vicious Mafia hitman Al Lettieri. Pulp maestro Elmore Leonard’s caustic script gives this formula vigilante thriller a distinctive edge. | ||||
