For anyone lucky enough never to have seen the best American movie ever made, just like yesterday, both parts screen on Paramount: The Godfather Part I, 6pm, The Godfather, Part II, 9.35pm BEST FILM OF THE DAY; you are hardly likely to find a better way to spend six-and-a-half hours this year; perhaps ever.

Today’s Number One Film:

The Exorcist, 10pm Turner Classic Movies. Watch this if you liked The Omen, The Shining or the original Wes Craven A Nightmare on Elm Street.
