Just reading the never shown again on TV films & Risonax mentioned Talking Pictures

Talking pictures is just a wonderful channel showing mainly old B movies & films that seem long forgotten.

The footage detectives on there is truly great too & I just love Caroline Monroe in the cellar club.

Every other channel seems to get a shout out & this one fully deserves to be part go the gang tt.

Its recent (& ongoing showing) of "The Gold Robbers" has attracted some positive interest on this particular forum.

I have to say that TPTV has saved me a fortune in having not to buy Box Sets of old TV series like "Budgie", "Secret Army", "Crown Court"....etc. etc. as they are now being shown for "free" by TPTV.

Some stuff - that you remember from the past like "Manhunt" - does now look so dated & more like a middle-class stage production , but in fairness was the precursor to the much more sophisticated "Secret Army".

However, & happy to be corrected- but I do get the impression TPTV does rely on an ageing audience as typified by its mobility aid sponsers & charity advertisments - that target a certain market of those thinking of leaving charity bequests and/or have the financial means & conscience to make regular donations. Absolutely nothing wrong with that - as that's what I am happy to do & it does support a very enjoyable alternative fringe TV channel & those causes you wish to help.
