Friday Night on LEGEND

If you’re looking for a mix of nostalgia, grit and thrills, LEGEND’s Friday schedule has something for every taste. The channel opens with a bang, then we move through classic sci‑fi, crime dramas and even a shark‑infested lake. Below are the highlights, with my take on each and the exact times in London (BST).

08:00 – 09:00 – Walker, Texas Ranger

That’s the show that gave Chuck Norris a place in TV history. In episode 1‑S18/28, Walker travels to Mexico to help a friend—though the jurisdiction drama is a classic. It’s solid action with a clear moral compass. I’d still give it a go if you’re a fan of straightforward heroics.

09:00 – 10:00 – T.J. Hooker

The serial killer’s victims are all female lawyers—a quirky, if grim, pattern. Episode 5‑S13 offers a mix of crime‑procedural and dark humor. It’s reliable if you’re into procedural dramas.

10:00 – 11:50 – Shark Lake

Dolph Lundgren leads a blood‑soaked thriller where sharks turn a lake town into a nightmare. The 1h50min runtime is a good binge for a night of tense, low‑budget horror.

12:00 – 13:50 – Time Without Pity

A 1957 British film noir starring Michael Redgrave. The plot is a frantic 24‑hour race to clear a son’s name. It’s one of those older films that still holds up well for fans of classic noir.

16:00 – 17:00 – Star Trek – The Original Series

In S3, Ep20/24, the Enterprise is hijacked while searching for Eden. Kirk’s discovery of the planet’s truth gives the episode a twist on the usual optimism. A must‑watch for long‑time fans.

17:00 – 18:00 – The Six Million Dollar Man

Scientists create a “walking computer” by implanting data into a brain. Episode 5‑S15 is a fun sci‑fi adventure that showcases early brain‑computer integration.

20:00 – 22:10 – Deep Rising

When pirates overrun an ocean liner, a sea monster lurks beneath. Treat Williams leads a 2h10min horror‑action that’s perfect for a late‑night watch.

22:10 – 00:20 – Rise of the Footsoldier: Origins

A crime thriller prequel featuring Vinnie Jones. It delves into how Tony Tucker became involved in a notorious gangland murder. A solid crime drama for fans of gritty British narratives.
