Rewind Television are hosting a four film season of Ken Russell's films from 25- 28 August 2026.
The films are The Lair of the White Worm, Salome's Last Dance, Whore and The Rainbow.
"Celebrating Ken Russell, From August 25 to 28, Rewind TV hands four consecutive nights to Celebrating Ken Russell. Russell was the most divisive British director of his generation, and this is not a safe retrospective. Over four nights, the channel is running a snake-priestess horror, Oscar Wilde’s banned play restaged in a brothel, a film that was rated NC-17 in America and banned outright in Ireland, and a D.H. Lawrence adaptation. Three of these four films came from a single deal – a three-picture contract Russell signed with the American company Vestron in the late 1980s. Only Whore sits outside it".
Rewind Television is hard to find. "Rewind TV still has no app, no catch-up, and no true streamed channel". It is available on:
- Freeview Channel 81
- Sky Channel 182 (satellite only)
- Freely Channel 141 (aerial-connected version only)
- Freesat Channel 164
