Wednesday’s Action Feast: Burn Notice, High Chaparral, and the Unexpected – A Rough Guide

It’s Wednesday, and the Great! Action channel has a line‑up that appeals to fans of gritty crime dramas, dusty westerns and even a splash of high‑octane anime. Below are the top picks, the times they’ll hit the airwaves in London (BST), and a quick take on why you might want to stick around.

Burn Notice (14:00–15:00 BST)

Michael Westen’s spy‑craft remains sharp, even after a decade. The episode sees him juggling a rescue mission at a prostitution ring while dodging assassination attempts – a classic blend of espionage and moral ambiguity. It’s still entertaining if you enjoy a protagonist who’s as cunning as he is conflicted.

The High Chaparral (09:10–10:10 BST)

Set against the rugged backdrop of the American frontier, this episode throws a bounty hunter into a tense standoff that threatens to destabilise a ranch. The slow burn of character development and the stakes of peace make it a reliable period drama that keeps the tension alive.

Wanted: Dead Or Alive (10:10–10:40 BST)

The story of a reclusive old man with an Apache bodyguard offers a mix of mystery and action. The episode’s pacing keeps you engaged, while the relationship between the bounty hunter and the old man adds layers to the plot. It’s a one‑off that still holds up well.

Angel and the Badman (10:40–12:00 BST)

John Wayne’s western turns into a moral tug‑of‑war when a wounded gunslinger is sheltered by a Quaker girl. The film’s nostalgic feel and the clash between past and present create a narrative that’s both familiar and fresh.

Eye For An Eye (16:00–18:00 BST)

Crime noir with John Travolta and Morgan Freeman dives into a missing‑persons case that turns into a web of corruption. The atmosphere and the sharp dialogue give it a distinct edge, making it a solid pick for anyone who likes a good mystery.

Dragon Ball Super (01:10–01:40 BST)

Frieza’s new form and Goku’s evenly matched battle keep the action high. For anime fans, the episode offers a satisfying blend of power‑ups and character arcs, keeping the pacing brisk and the stakes clear.

Bottom line: the Great! Action channel on Wednesday offers a mix of crime, western and anime that caters to a broad audience. There’s something for everyone, whether you’re looking for a well‑crafted spy drama or a high‑energy anime showdown.
