Miracle on 34th Street (Film4, 6.45pm)
SIMPLY. HAVING. It’s so cold outside that it no longer matters that it’s not December – Christmas is here. Well, at least, you’re allowed to watch Christmas movies. In this remake of the 1947 classic, a woman raises her six-year-old daughter to believe that Santa Claus does not exist, but they both have a change of heart after meeting a department store Father Christmas who claims to be the man himself. When the kindly fellow is accused of being a charlatan, his new friends engage a lawyer to prove his true identity. With Richard Attenborough, Elizabeth Perkins, Mara Wilson and Dylan McDermott.
RoboCop (Channel 4, 10pm)
A corporation that creates military robots seizes a chance to diversify into law enforcement when a Detroit cop is critically injured in a bombing.

Sci-fi thriller remake, starring Joel Kinnaman, Gary Oldman, Michael Keaton and Samuel L Jackson.

Everybody’s talking about: the trailer for the Jodie Foster directed episode of Black Mirror
It dropped on YouTube yesterday:
It wouldn’t be a Black Mirror trailer if it wasn’t unsettling viewing tbf.
