Let's start with Rai 1, which is broadcasting the documentary about one of the most versatile and visionary characters in the world of talent scouting. People from Cecchetto.

Tonight on TV: Films from the digital terrestrial program
But the selection of films that the program offers does not end there, and before we leave you with the long list, we recommend two that fascinated us. The first on Rai 4 is based on the Brothers Grimm fairy tale, Hansel and Gretel, and the title is deliberately reversed as this version focuses on the older sister. Gretel and Hansel. The re-reading in dark tones only half convinced the audience, but the proceeds rewarded the $5 million investment, quadrupling it.
The second one is on Iris A perfect world From Clint Eastwood who saw the script as an opportunity to return behind the camera in order to recover from his role as an actor. However, he had to give in to the urging Kevin Costner who suggested he take on the supporting role of the Texas Ranger and at the same time enabled him to devote himself entirely to filmmaking.
Gretel and Hansel at 9:22 p.m. on Rai 4
Fatherless, Gretel (Sophia Lillis) and her little brother Hansel (Sam Leaky) are forced out of their home by their mother, who can no longer care for them due to poverty and starvation. So the two boys decide to go into the forest, hoping to find food, shelter and work by meeting one football player (Charles Babalola), who will help them overcome the first obstacles. One day, however, while wandering around, they come across a candy-smelling house in which an old woman lives Hold something (Alice Krige). The woman offers them to stay with her and get help with the housework in return. Hansel and Gretel readily accept this, but as the nights go by, Gretel begins to have visions and hear the voices of other children warning her…
A Perfect World at 9:11 p.m. on Iris

Philip (TJ Lowther). Butch got to know Terry's violent side. Since he doesn't trust his partner, he gives the boy his unloaded gun as a deterrent.
