Sundays are couch days and don’t let nobody tell you any different!

Today is a good day to either go to the cinema (and if you are, then you need to read THIS), or sit on the couch.

Either way, movies are involved. These are the best of the bunch that are on the telly today.

SUNDAY 14 OCTOBER

The Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers – ITV2 – 6.25pm

The middle third of a long walk.

Turner & Hooch – Film Four – 7.00pm

Tom Hanks is the ADD/OCD/extremely anal cop who is paired with a slobbering mess of a dog following his owner’s death, but he soon realises that the dog may actually be the key to solving a murder.

Harrison Ford didn’t kill his wife. Tommy Lee Jones doesn’t care.

Beverly Hills Cop II – Universal TV – 9.00pm
