Film: "Tomorrow Never Dies"
Channel: ITV1 (UK)
Date: Saturday 22nd March 2008
Time: 15:10 GMT

For the first hour or so, this 18th Bond movie is up there with the best of them: it has terrific pace, Pierce Brosnan has romantic and rough-house appeal, and the post-Cold War story has grip and plausibility. However the momentum slows in the second half, where the drawn-out action takes over from the story.

Film: "From Russia With Love" (1963)
Channel: ITV4
Date: Saturday 22nd March 2008
Time: 21:55

Super-spy James Bond finds his life under threat when he aids a beautiful Russian girl who wants to defect to the West with a politically invaluable cipher machine. It soon becomes apparent that the girl is merely being used as a pawn by SPECTRE, a group of international criminals intent on finishing off 007 once and for all - wherever in the world he may flee.

Thanks to `dukegreen` for the alert.
