SATURDAY JUNE 29

LITTLE

No big deal

TVNZ 2, 7pm

A comedy about a glamorous, ruthless 38-year-old CEO (Regina Hall) trapped in the body of an awkward teenager (Marsai Martin, from Blackish). Martin is fun but it’s not a great addition to the many body-swap flicks that have come before. (2019)

THE RAILWAY CHILDREN RETURN

Trainspotting

Whakaata Māori, 7pm

A cosy sequel to the beloved 1970 British familyshifts from 1905 of the original to 1945, where Jenny Agutter, who played the eldest sister in the original, is now a grandmother taking in blitz evacuees. The kids’ adventures in the railyards of their new Yorkshire village home include hiding a US army deserter. (2022)
