  • Christmas films on Five

    Why does Channel 5 think they need to rename the imported films from
    America, making them harder to look up on IMDB.

    For example, today they have on "Project Christmas Wish", they've
    renamed it in the EPG to "My Christmas Wish".. which looks even more
    stupid when the actual title of the film shows.

    I've noticed they do that to other films through the year too.

    Has the movie got title credits all based on "My Christmas Wish" with no mention of "Project Christmas Wish"?

    If so, it sounds like a decision made by the studio with the revised
    title version being what is available to Channel 5. It won't have just
    been done by C5 in the UK.
