The BBC has confirmed it will not broadcast its long-running Film... series next year.
The programme first aired in 1971 and has since been fronted by Barry Norman, Jonathan Ross and Claudia Winkleman.
"In 2019 we will be creating an enhanced offer for lovers of film both on television and online," the corporation told BBC News.
"We're still working through the details and will have more news about what this will look like soon."
Film's title has changed annually since it launched, to reflect the year in which it was being broadcast.
It began in 1971, airing only in the South East area of the UK, with rotating guest presenters including Joan Bakewell.
The following year it expanded and was broadcast to the whole country, with Norman its first permanent host
