Sunday’s Action Feast on Great! Movies Action
London time (BST) runs from 09:00 to 01:50 on Sunday. The channel keeps the adrenaline high with a mix of classic westerns, modern action, and even an anime interlude. Below is the rundown and our personal picks.
09:00 – 09:10 – Good News on GREAT! Extra
A short 10‑minute lift‑off that sets a light tone. Not a must‑watch, but a pleasant opener.
09:10 – 09:40 – Wanted: Dead Or Alive
A mid‑century drama that dives into a love‑letter mystery. It’s a bit slow, but the narrative twist keeps it credible.
09:40 – 10:36 – The Pledge
Luke Perry leads a revenge‑driven western. The pacing is steady; the fight scenes offset the pacing lull.
10:36 – 10:41 – This Week Back Then
A quick flashback segment. Not a key part of the lineup.
10:41 – 11:37 – Airport ’77
An action thriller featuring Jack Lemmon and Christopher Lee. The plot around a hijacked 747 and a Bermuda Triangle route is an intriguing premise; the execution is solid enough to keep you interested.
11:37 – 12:33 – Union Pacific
A 1939 western about rail competition. The period detail is charming, though the story is predictable.
12:33 – 13:29 – Hangman’s Knot
An older western that plays on post‑war tension. It offers a classic feel but feels a little dated.
13:29 – 14:25 – The Duel
Woody Harrelson leads a contemporary western set in Texas. The pacing is brisk, but the plot is a familiar trope.
14:25 – 15:21 – Red Sun
A 1971 action‑western with Charles Bronson. The sword‑thief storyline is engaging, yet the dialogue can feel forced.
15:21 – 16:17 – Last Knights
Clive Owen and Morgan Freeman headline a medieval revenge saga. The acting is strong, and the fight choreography is well‑executed. This is our top pick for the night.
16:17 – 16:22 – This Week Back Then
Another brief look back; no major impact.
16:22 – 17:12 – Hangman’s Knot (second run)
Re‑airing gives viewers another chance to catch this classic western.
17:12 – 18:08 – The Duel (second run)
Another re‑run, offering a fresh audience a chance at this contemporary western.
18:08 – 19:04 – Red Sun (second run)
Re‑airing gives a second shot at the Bronson‑led action.
19:04 – 20:28 – Last Knights (second run)
Re‑airing can be useful for viewers who missed the first block. The story remains compelling.
20:28 – 21:58 – Dragon Ball Super (S1 Ep 53)
An anime segment featuring Goku and Whis. The pacing is fast, but the battles are fun for fans.
21:58 – 22:28 – Dragon Ball Super (S1 Ep 54)
Continuation of the anime arc. It keeps the energy high.
22:28 – 23:24 – The Trust
Nicolas Cage and Elijah Wood star in a copper caper. The plot is a bit contrived, but the comedic moments add charm.
23:24 – 23:54 – Good News on GREAT! Extra
A final 30‑minute segment of uplifting stories. A gentle close to the day.
23:54 – 00:50 – Coast Guard Alaska (S2 Ep 5)
A real‑world documentary about sea rescues. The footage is gripping; the narrative is straightforward.
00:50 – 01:50 – Last Knights (extended)
The final block extends the medieval saga. The climactic battles finish the night on a high note.
Bottom Line
The lineup blends classic westerns, modern action, and a surprising anime twist. While many shows are solid, Last Knights stands out as the most engaging episode of the night.
If you’re chasing adrenaline, start at 15:21 with Last Knights and finish with the climactic battle at 00:50. The rest of the schedule offers worthwhile alternatives for fans of period drama and action.
Overall, the channel delivers a varied mix that keeps viewers entertained throughout the evening.
