14:55pm Apache (U) 1954

Apache warrior Burt Lancaster vows to fight for his people's rights even after they've agreed a treaty with the American army — and wages a one-man war against his enemies.

23:00pm Jeepers Creepers II (15) 2003

Horror sequel carrying on where the first entry left off, following the sinister Creeper as he continues his murderous activities, determined to sate his bloodthirsty appetite before he goes to sleep for another 23 years — and a coachload of squealing teenagers looks like the perfect place to start.
