An odd query regarding Home Alone

A strange conversation arose earlier today about watching Home Alone when it was first being shown on television. I seem to recall it being premiered on ITV at some point but somebody else says I'm not. I tried looking through old schedules and ITV only premiered Home Alone 2 in 1997. Does anybody know if the first Home Alone ever got a UK TV premiere?

Like I say, it's an odd query...

Having checked Times Digital Archive, Home Alone first aired on ITV in 1995 (February 5th in fact). No mention of "Premiere" in the listing though. Other times before this it was shown on Sky (The Movie Channel).

Ah, cheers for that Ben. I was expecting it to have been shown around Christmas time rather than February...

I remember The Movie Channel making a big deal of the premiere of Home Alone 2.

45 days later

And here's the trailer for it! (at the start of the clip)
