1.00pm Girls! Girls! Girls! (U) 1962 King of rock 'n' roll Elvis Presley stars in this musical as a tuna fisherman with an eye for the ladies. Unfortunately, he's faced with the age-old dilemma as he tries to decide which lucky girl deserves his attentions — but he's distracted from the pursuit of pleasure when his jealous rival ensures he loses his boat. With Stella Stevens, Laurel Goodwin and Jeremy Slate

5.10pm Operation Amsterdam (PG) 1958 A stiff-upper-lipped British Army officer engages in a spot of larceny, but it's all to aid the war effort. Ordered to Amsterdam, he joins forces with two cunning Dutchmen and steals a secret cache of diamonds from a bank vault, thus preventing them falling into the hands of the Nazis. But German soldiers look set to thwart the plan. Energetic World War Two adventure, starring Peter Finch, Tony Britton and Eva Bartok (888)

That is, until a scientist offers to make his physique better than ever before — by rebuilding him with the body parts of animals. All seems well, until some beastly traits begin to emerge. Wacky comedy, starring Rob Schneider, Edward Asner and Colleen Haskell





9.00pm An Officer and a Gentleman (15) 1982 Romantic drama, starring Richard Gere as a Navy recruit whose relationship with a mill worker is forced onto the sidelines by a tough, uncompromising sergeant seemingly determined to keep him down (played by charismatic Oscar-winner Louis Gossett Jnr).
