Train to Busan.
Busan is a city at very south of Korea. You can get there by train. But there's zombies.

After this is the Cuban film Juan of the Dead. It's not as good as Sean of the Dead though.

War of the Planet of the Apes could be considered Fantasy / Sci-Fi. It was my least favorite of the latest Planet of the Apes films.

But that was on last night

Early heads up, Apostasy is on BBC2 on Saturday night at 10pm

It's a really powerful British film from a few years ago about the relationship between a mother and her two daughters who she is raising in the Jehovah's Witness faith. One sister leaves the faith and the other starts to question it as their separation draws out. It's written and directed by a former JW member and is a pretty damning portrait of the religion without being preachy or over the top dramatic.

^^^ Can remember seeing must of the above.

TG4 Fri, 21:05
The Man from Snowy River (1982)

The son of a mountain farmer is forced to leave his home after the death of his father, and goes to work for a cattle rancher in the lowlands. He falls for his employer's daughter, while discovering the story behind the man's long-standing feud with his twin brother. Australian Western, starring Kirk Douglas in a dual role, with Tom Burlinson and Jack Thompson

Edit: - Watching also has Sigrid Thornton in it.

Is there other actors/actress that have appeared both in 'Prisoner CBH' & 'Wentworth'?

Harry I'm showing that Quatermass and the Pit is on at 11pm on Mon 12 Oct. on TPTV

Well worth a watch, Nigel Kneale's original TV drama brought to the screem.
Allowing that the effects maybe a bit ropey , the story is original and quite disturbing.

Seen it a few times, brilliantly effective story. Well worth seeing for anyone who loves a low key apocalypse!

Black 47 is on VM1 at 9pm on Friday
