After only a couple of weeks of non-Bond films on Saturday nights, Ten will continue airing Bond flicks, kicking off with Octopussy at 8:30pm on March 8. Some TV guides claim that Thunderball will air this Saturday, but I've had no other indication that this is true.

It'll be great to see Octopussy on the box. The film is the only Bond movie that hasn't aired in ages.

Hi I'm new to the board.
The other night (Saturday night) my TV Guide said Thunderball was supposed to be on and yet Out Of Sight was on.:):)

Octopussy is my favourite Bond moive and perhaps my letter to Channel Ten requesting Octopussy to be shown has worked.:)

Welcome aboard, James!

Sure is great to see Octopussy on TV after so long. I'd expect Thunderball to air in the next few weeks [probably next week].

There's so many inaccuracies in the past few weeks.

Star Wars Ep 4 wasn't shown as advertised.

And now the TV guide say's it's on this week, but the review is for Ep 5.

Not to mention canning Tomorrow NEver Dies the first time, the Bond essentials.

ARGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

I saw the ad for Octopussy so it should be on.

Then again, I saw the ad for Tomorrow Never Dies when it was canned too.

Love the tagline Ten are using:

"The film that's naughty by name, and naughty by nature." :)

Looks like Octopussy was a one-off. Next week sees *shudder* The Brady Bunch Movie airing.

Apologies for jumping the proverbial gun.

That's a pity about the stupid Brady Bunch Movie taking over Bond.

Come to think of it I reakon Channel Ten were waiting for the all clear for the last week or so (that's why there was a break in Bond movies) to see if they were aloud to show Octopussy.
What do you think?
