Talking Pictures is the greatest TV channel in history.

They must be doing an unofficial Lumet season.

Probably one of the most depressing films I've ever seen, but also very, very good.

Yeah, I remember seeing that "Chubby" Brown film on there a lot "U.F.O". You had them showing all the early Peter Jackson films. Lesser-known British films as well that would never get shown anywhere else. I also remember that "Thursday Night Sex" 11pm slot in 1995 very well. Sunday 9pm was horror time.

Are we still talking about Equus?

Anyone interested in a truly great classic noir, TPTV has one of the best on tonight. Richard Conte was the greatest.

Currently watching the classic Roger Corman version of The Raven, starring Vincent Price, Peter Lorre and Boris Karloff as part of TPTV’s Cellar Club block, first time watch as I’ve been trying to get it for years and put off buying it

Rita, Sue and Bob Too, the greatest sex comedy that has ever been made is on this Saturday at 9pm. A portrait of a simpler time when banging a couple of school girls in your car wasn’t even that bad.

Aye. Seems like they stick that on every few days now since Xmas.

Hey, remember this thread? 

At 4:05 PM Talking Pictures TV is showing When The Legends Die.

I've not actually seen it, but it's a western drama film centered around rodeo from the early 1970's, so it's basically everything I'm all about and I'm sure will be worth a watch.

A Talking Pictures convention?

The byline at the bottom was one I hadn’t seen before “ALL GUEST APPEARANCES SUBJECT TO HEALTH & WELLBEING ON THE DAY.”

Haha, I hadn’t clocked that! Not that they’re saying the guests might be a bit elderly or anything!

How do you record this great channel using a VCR? My TV has Freeview. I can watch it. Not record it. Yes, I know. Old Baz still stuck in 1995, but I feel like I'm missing good shit here and every "Freeview Recorder" I've tried doesn't work. Thanks.

No idea about that but if your dial up is fast enough they do have a free streaming service called TPTV Encore which has a lot of their films and TV shows
