January on The Horror Channel: Stranger Fears Season - a retro-flavoured selection of 1980s influenced modern horror

3rd: Hostile - Premier - A worldwide epidemic has killed most of the planet's population. The few survivors struggle to find food and shelter. But they are not alone... On her way back to base camp from a scavenging mission, Juliette (Brittany Ashworth) has a terrible accident. Stuck in her car, with a broken leg, in the middle of an unforgiving desert, she must survive the perils of the post-apocalypse, while a strange creature prowls around

4th: The Void - UK TV premiere - In the middle of a routine patrol, officer Daniel Carter happens upon a blood-soaked figure limping down a deserted stretch of road. He rushes the young man to a nearby rural hospital, only to discover that patients and personnel are transforming into something inhuman. As the horror intensifies, Carter leads the other survivors on a hellish voyage into the subterranean depths of the hospital in a desperate bid to end the nightmare.

10th: The Bay - A quaint seaside town of Chesapeake Bay thrives on water; it is the lifeblood of the community. When two biological researchers from France find a staggering level of toxicity in the water, they attempt to alert the mayor, but he refuses to create a panic in the docile town. As a result, a deadly plague is unleashed, turning the people of Chesapeake Bay into hosts for a mutant breed of parasites that take control of their minds, and eventually their bodies.

11th: Beyond the Gates - UK TV Premier - Following their father's mysterious disappearance, two estranged brothers reunite to liquidate his business, a video store specialising in horror movies. Digging through all the fire sale stock, they find an old VCR board game entitled 'Beyond the Gates'. Deciding to play the obscure game for a laugh, they soon realise it holds the connection to their father's vanishing and the deadliest of consequences for anyone who dares fool around with it.

17th: Hollow Man - Kevin Bacon is a gifted scientist, Sebastian Caine, who develops a serum that induces invisibility. The arrogant but charismatic scientist heads a top-secret U.S. government research project. When the formula works successfully on animals, Caine disobeys Pentagon orders and experiments on himself. Unfortunately, the gamble goes terribly wrong when the procedure cannot be reversed.

18th: The Final Girls - Max, a high school senior, is mysteriously transported with her friends into a 1980s horror film that starred her mother, a celebrated scream queen. Trapped inside the movie, Max finds herself reunited with her mom, whom she lost in real life. Together, they must fend off the camp counsellors' raging hormones, battle a deranged machete-wielding killer, and find a way to escape the movie and make it back home.

24th: Mary Shelley's Frankenstein - As Viktor Frankenstein (Kenneth Branagh) is dying, he shares a tale of gruesome terror with a sea captain. Viktor, using previous experiments by a brilliant scientist, was able to bring a creature (Robert De Niro) assembled from body parts back to life. Once he realised how destructive his experiments had become, he abandoned the creature and tried to live a normal life with his fiance (Helena Bonham Carter). The lonely creature seeks out Viktor and demands one of two things: a bride or revenge.

25th: WolfCop - Lou Garou is a lazy, alcoholic cop by day, a violent crime-fighting werewolf by night with a new found sense of duty to uphold. Overnight, the small rural town of Newhaven has a new lycanthropic hero and he's determined to become a better policeman... one full moon transformation at a time.

31st: I Still Know What You Did Last Summer - The movie finds Julie James (Jennifer Love Hewitt) coping miserably with the memory of last year's terrifying ordeal, as the past continues to haunt her, However, it looks as though things may be turning out for the better when her college roommate, Karla (Brandy Norwood), invites Julie to join her on an all-expense paid trip to the Bahamas. But when the romantic vacation is threatened by a violent hurricane and the reappearance of the vengeful fisherman, Julie's future promises to be as short-lived as her escape from the past.

From Sunday January 19th 2020 those days return as we bring the show back to your screens. Originally hosted by Tommy Trinder with Bruce Forsyth and Jimmy Tarbuck later taking over, among others, the guests included: Norman Wisdom, Adam Faith, Sid James, Frankie Howerd, Bob Monkhouse, Hughie Green, The Hollies, The Beatles, Mike And Bernie Winters, Cliff Richard And The Shadows, Peter Cooke, Dudley Moore, The Searchers, Des O'Connor, Michael Bentine, Cleo Laine, Johnny Dankworth, David Nixon, Charlie Drake, Spike Milligan and Roy Orbison.

This vintage variety show will air on Sundays at 9pm only on Talking Pictures TV."

But on the other foot around 70 shows that have been cancelled or won't be getting renewed .



Cancelled! TV Series That Aren’t Coming Back In 2020, And Salaries That Are Disappearing With Them

Most assume that making it to the big-time in Hollywood means landing the starring role in a huge summer tentpole. But these days more and more stars are instead turning to television, where arguably the medium is seeing a new renaissance. And besides: a hit show means guaranteed work (and paychecks) for a longer period of time.

year after year, sometimes even the best shows fail to connect with audiences, and wind up getting canceled entirely by networks. Doesn’t matter if they’ve been on the air for decades, or if they’re brand new. Let’s take a look at some television casualties of 2019 that aren’t coming back, and what their stars stand to lose as a result

"BBC One’s Agatha Christie adaptation The Pale Horse will premiere on Sunday February 9th at 9pm, it has been announced.

The Pale Horse follows Mark Easterbrook, who, after a mysterious list of names is found in the shoe of a dead woman, begins an investigation into how and why his name came to be there. He is drawn to The Pale Horse, the home of a trio of rumoured witches in the tiny village of Much Deeping. Word has it that the witches can do away with wealthy relatives using the dark arts alone, but as the bodies mount up Mark is certain there has to be a rational explanation. And who could possibly want him dead?

The two-part drama, which is based on the Agatha Christie novel and was adapted for television by Sarah Phelps, is produced by Mammoth Screen and Agatha Christie Limited, with Amazon Prime Video on-board as the U.S. co-producer, and stars Rufus Sewell, Kaya Scodelario, Bertie Carvel, Sean Pertwee, Henry Lloyd-Hughes, Poppy Gilbert, Madeleine Bowyer, Ellen Robertson, Sarah Woodward, Georgina Campbell, Claire Skinner, Rita Tushingham, Sheila Atim and Kathy Kiera Clarke. Ado Yoshizaki Cassuto is the producer, while Leonora Lonsdale is the director. The executive producers are Sarah Phelps, Damien Timmer, Helen Ziegler, James Prichard, Basi Akpabio and Tommy Bulfin"
