NEW YEAR’S DAY

Hugo

Dances With Wolves (1990) 12

3.30PM, ITV

Pitch Perfect 2 (2015) 12 9PM, CH4

PREMIERE The Barden Bellas recently rocked the box office for a third time, and they stay in harmony here – even after a dreadful wardrobe malfunction for Fat Amy (Rebel Wilson).

Noah

(2014) 12

10PM, BBC2

PREMIERE Russell Crowe is a gruffly determined Noah (right) in this epic. It’s based on the Old Testament tale of a mighty, watery purge, and there are a great many fantastical embellishments.
