Plenty to choose from
It’s St. Patrick’s weekend so you know what that means: sport. Lots and lots of sport with a little sport in there for good measure, but if you’re tired of the Six Nations, FA Cup, and Premier League, there are plenty of excellent films on the box too.
The weather might be horrible but the films on television are great.
