Mega-Movie Marathon for Christmas Week

TV2 and TV3 are swamping their Christmas schedules with movies.

Most primetime series programming is being usurped by Hollywood re-runs and a handful of network premieres (Mud, Delivery Man, Lady and the Tramp).

TV2 has even gone so far as to dub its 7pm slot Christmas Week at the Movies.

TV1, on the other hand, will have only its 9.30 Christmas Day premiere One Chance and overnight on Christmas Eve Message in a Bottle and The Tempest, and the premiere of Eastwood Directs: The Untold Story.
