A two-part coda to the fantastic series, seen recently on Legend, starring Ben Browder and Claudia Black. Crichton’s knowledge of wormholes still makes him a target while an intergalactic war ranges around him and Aeryon. All the usual characters return for this unmissable adventure.

This week, Patrick Magee stars in the channel premiere of Beware My Brethren (aka The Fiend, 1972) in which Ann Todd gets sucked into a strict religious sect. This is followed by the Hammer classic Countess Dracula (1971), in which Ingrid Pitt bathes in the blood of virgins to keep her youthful appearance. As a Christmas Day treat, there are a host of classic horror and sci-fi films screening throughout the day.
