Tom Cruise's 'best' Mission Impossible film airs on TV tonight
Tom Cruise has starred as the lead in the Mission Impossible series for eight films and with the final instalment now in cinemas, fans can refresh their memories on TV tonight
One of Tom Cruise 's award-winning Mission Impossible movies is airing on TV tonight (Saturday, May 24). It comes just days after the eighth and final movie in the series, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning was released in UK cinemas.
Many fans will be heading to the pictures to see the film this bank holiday weekend, and if you want a refresher on what's happened previously, Channel 4 has you covered tonight.
The channel will be airing the seventh film in the series, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning which was released in 2023. The film sees Ethan Hunt seek to destroy the Entity, a powerful AI, in order to keep its dangerous power away from corrupt governments.
Channel 4 will be airing the film at 8pm on Saturday, and will run all the way up until 11.10pm. Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning runs for 2 hours 50 minutes.
Fans were left waiting years for the highly anticipated seventh instalment of the movie to be released - after it was pushed back a number of times due to the Covid pandemic.
It was originally set to be released in 2021, but due to the pandemic, was pushed back to 2022. However, fans were left waiting yet another year when it was pushed back once again to 2023.
The film received two Oscar nominations for Best Sound and Best Achievement in Visual Effects. The movie also won number of awards including a Saturn Award for the Best Action/Adventure Film.
The movie has mixed reviews from fans, although some hail it as the best in the series. Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one fan penned: "I've watched all of them and mission impossible dead reckoning part 1 is the best film in the series," as another agreed: "MI Dead Reckoning (Part 1) gets my vote for the best of the Mission Impossible Films."
However, others weren't so impressed with the movie, as one penned: "Dead Reckoning Part 1 was a huge step back. Worst since MI:2," as another disappointed fan penned: Dead reckoning part 1 is... Ok you know what, I'm calling it, while the 7th film is a good action film, it is the worst mission impossible film."
Earlier this week, the Hollywood star made headlines after he was asked an awkward question about Father's Day on the red carpet after being estranged from his daughter Suri.
'Father's Day is just around the corner,' an E! News reporter told the star. She then followed up by asking: 'What would an ideal Father's Day look like for you?'
Visibly taken aback, the Hollywood star looked to the side as he said: 'You know…' After a pause, he then continued: 'Just having fun, man. Making movies, big adventure, having a great time," before the interview came to a close.

Non-league club ensuring Whit Friday traditions continue
Volunteers at Mossley AFC are ensuring community traditions continue as they prepare to host the Whit Friday band contest at Seel Park. The Pitching In Northern Premier League Division One West side are looking forward to welcoming brass bands from far and wide to their ground on June 13th as they play a central role in a tradition dating back to the 1800s. Mossley's Events Coordinator Nicky Iqbal is leading a team of volunteers to ensure the Whit Walks and band contest continue to bring the community together across Saddleworth and Tameside. 'It's all run by volunteers, it's all community based. It's dubbed as the greatest free festival on Earth and it brings people together. It's just wonderful,' she said. 'It's a massive celebration day, from 10am in the morning through until midnight. 'All my friends think I'm absolutely barmy. 'Why on earth would you do that for brass bands?' But when it gets to the 10th or 11th band, you're just taken away with the moment and the atmosphere.' The band contest sees brass bands from Australia to Switzerland and all over the north west, including renowned groups like Brighouse and Rastrick Brass Band, Fairey Band, Foden's and Black Dyke Band, compete across approximately 10 venues. Each band travels round to the venues on a coach where they perform and get marked. 'They play blind to an adjudicator who doesn't know who they are so it's a bit like a very early 1800s version of The Voice,' Iqbal explained. 'It's a good atmosphere. At any venue, at any given time, you can have about 10 coaches queuing, so it creates a really good vibe. 'At the end, all the scores are collected and then the results are announced anytime throughout the morning and up to midday, a bit like election day.' The contest follows on from the Whit Walks, another tradition in the north west, where schools and churches walk in processions with banners led out by a local brass band. 'They're both very old traditions, and you find that they don't happen much anymore in a lot of areas,' Iqbal added. 'It's unique in Tameside and Saddleworth that we've managed to keep them, but it is a trial keeping them because there's no funding for them. 'You're dealing with just over a third of the town's population coming in and out of your premises throughout the day, and it's really, really important that we keep it going.' As a result, Mossley AFC look to the support of the local community in the shape of volunteers to keep festivities going. Fundamental to those efforts are volunteers who are already involved in the football club. Iqbal is a committee member at Mossley, and is set to join the directors, after first offering to help with ground maintenance during the Covid-19 pandemic. The University of Salford business lecturer was swept up by the non-league spirit and is now using her knowledge in events, community and communication to help the club, but she hopes more will join her to volunteer at the Whit Friday Band Contest. 'With any volunteering, it's what you get back out of it and you know that you've contributed to what is the biggest event in your town. It's got about 11,000 plus people,' she said. 'The funding has been stripped back year by year, as well as the support for policing and security so you get more and more dependent upon volunteers.' Overlooking the natural beauty of Saddleworth Moor, Seel Park acts as a key community hub all year round as the club host events such as the Mossley 10k, the town's biggest fireworks display and weddings. Their support of the local population also extends to the day-to-day, with their facilities used by local running club, and provisions such as the A Team and Monday Club providing a space for disabled and disadvantaged adults. But the Whit Friday contest holds a special poignancy for those at Mossley, owing to the legacy of lifelong supporter and volunteer Paul Harrison. 'Paul and Jenny Harrison ran the band contest for decades. Paul was one of the groundsmen at Mossley, and he sadly died very suddenly of cancer three years ago,' said Iqbal. 'It's really important that we keep that event out of all events, because of what it means to the community and because of the hard work that Paul did. 'It's lovely that his family, his wife Jenny, and his daughters carry on supporting and volunteering at the band contest every year. It keeps Paul's legacy alive because he was so well respected in the town. 'It really is a community. People come to the football club now as one of those hub points where everybody comes to meet, whether it's on a Saturday or a Tuesday, to watch football.'

Steph Waring admits 'I lost my s**t' as she recounts 'hysterically crying, shaking and begging' as she got sacked from Hollyoaks after 28 years in 'frantic' meeting
Stephanie Waring has recalled 'hysterically crying, shaking and begging' when she was sacked from Hollyoaks. The actress, 47, starred in the Cheshire soap on Channel 4 for 28 years from 1996 to 2024. Hollyoaks was hit by stringent budget cuts last year and cut down from five to three instalments a week, letting go of staff too. Stephanie's character, Cindy Cunningham, was axed by bosses and the star has delved into how she reacted in her book, Breaking The Script. She recalled how she had a meeting with two producers who broke the news to her by reading a written statement. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The star described how she struggled to process what was being said to her and as it sank in, she felt emotional at the departure of her beloved character. She wrote, 'But as the statement neared its close, before the final words were even spoken, I felt a tear roll down my cheek. I was shaking as I looked at the two of them.' 'Then it happened. 'And with that said, we will be losing Cindy from the show. I'm so sorry, Steph.' The world stopped for a second as I replayed those words in my head. Then… I lost my s***.' She was particularly heartbroken that her staple character would not be featuring in the big anniversary special. Stephanie went on to write, 'What? No! You mean you're not taking me to the 30th?' I blurted out, referencing the upcoming anniversary of the show – a milestone that meant so much to the long-standing cast. 'I don't understand. No, I don't understand. I don't understand!' I was frantic. 'But I've been so loyal. Please, no. This is my life. I love my job – please, no!' She described how she was 'hysterically crying' and added: 'I repeated myself, hoping one of them would see my distress and take it all back. Had they made a mistake? My world felt like it was imploding.' She signed her new contract which started from April 27 and her character departed in July. However, the short notice made her feel like she 'had swallowed a grenade' and she admitted to 'a few expletives rolling off my tongue like bullets'. Afterwards, she ran out of the room and found comfort from Kirsty Leigh Porter and Jennifer Metcalfe, who starred as Leela Dexter and Mercedes McQueen in the show. Since leaving the soap, Stephanie has gone on to become a 'certified mind-body coach', according to her social media. Her new book, Breaking The Script, was released earlier this week.
