The Kid – Film4 – 9pm

All The President’s Men – BBC4 – 10pm
A multi-Oscar winning biopic starring Dustin Hoffman and Robert Redford about the reporters who broke the Watergate scandal.
Unforgiven – Turner Classic Movies – 11.05pm
Our pick for tonight is one of the last great westerns of the 20th Century, with an all-star cast to boot.
Clint Eastwood, Morgan Freeman, Gene Hackman, and Richard Harris band together for one last score as the Wild West begins to disappear across the United States.
Great performances, brilliant action, and loads of people looking angry. A brilliant western.
