Boxing Day TV 2023: What’s screening on ITV and Channel 4 on Boxing Day, including Indiana Jones? DEC 25 AM

Boxing Day is a time of leftovers from the Christmas Dinner and a chance to head out to the shops to pick up that Boxing Day bargain. But for those who just want to avoid those busy shopping areas and would much rather veg around the house, what’s on television on Boxing Day on ITV and Channel 4?

Channel 4 once again leads the way over the festive period with a series of films on offer, including “The Spongebob Squarepants Movie,” the original “Annie” and everyone’s favourite adventurer, Indiana Jones, in the classic 1981 feature “Indiana Jones and The Raiders of the Lost Ark,” if the recent arrival of “Dial of Destiny” on Disney+ has you pining for the halcyon days of our intrepid hero.

ITV however have decided to air a family favourite on Boxing Day with “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang” starring Dick Van Dyke, while in the evening music fans might want to peel themselves off the couch after the leftover food-coma as Kylie Minogue’s long-awaited “An Audience with Kylie” airs shortly after a repeat of the “Vera” Christmas Special. 

It’s also a day of sports once again, with ITV providing live racing from Kempton over lunchtime, so if you fancied a final flutter before the New Year, Kempton might be your best, responsible choice over the holiday season.
