Wednesday Action Picks on GREAT! Movies Action
Tonight, the channel has a blend of classic and contemporary action, thriller and documentary across the evening. Below is a quick guide with times in London (BST) and short thoughts on each segment.
Dragon Ball Super – S1 Ep45/46 (22:20‑23:50 BST)
Time: 22:20‑22:50 BST (30 min) – Vegeta struggles to stay on top of his powers while a clone threatens the universe. The pacing is tight, and the fight scenes are crisp. It’s one of the more reliable anime moments on the schedule.
The New Avengers – S1 Ep12/13 (16:10‑18:10 BST)
Time: 16:10‑17:10 BST (1 h) – Steed and the team race to stop a new gas threat. The episode keeps the classic spy vibe, though the plot feels a bit formulaic. It’s a solid pick for fans of 60s‑style superhero drama.
Black Water (13:05‑15:10 BST)
Time: 13:05‑14:03 BST (58 min) – A CIA submarine hostage drama with Sean Patrick Flanery. The tension is moderate; the storyline is straightforward. It may not be the most gripping thriller, but it’s worth a watch for plot‑driven viewers.
Airport ’75 – S1 (20:00‑22:20 BST)
Time: 20:00‑20:56 BST (56 min) – A star‑studded mid‑air collision drama. The action sequences are polished, although the pacing can feel a bit slow. A good filler if you prefer classic action‑thrillers.
Coast Guard Alaska – S3 Ep9 (23:20‑00:20 BST)
Time: 23:20‑00:20 BST (1 h) – A documentary about the U.S. Coast Guard’s daring rescues. The footage is gripping and the narration stays engaging. It’s a reliable documentary for those who want to see real heroism.
Good News on GREAT! Extra (04:40‑05:00 BST)
Time: 04:40‑04:50 BST (10 min) – A quick uplifting roundup of positive stories. It’s a light break before the next block of action.
Bottom line: The schedule offers a balanced mix of high‑energy anime, classic espionage, and real‑world drama. Pick the Dragon Ball Super for a late‑night adrenaline rush, or dive into The New Avengers for a nostalgic spy adventure. The other shows round out the evening with solid, if not spectacular, entertainment.
