AIBU to love Talking Pictures (Freeview 81) and its random offerings?

[WeWantSweet]

Recently watched White Water Summer with Kevin Bacon. That could never be made now, lol. But it's good to have a showcase for films from other eras as they help shine an enlightening light on the social mores previous generations grew up on.

1980s series Widows coming to Talking Pictures TV

I'll be watching that, HelenaDove, I adore spy films!

Talking Pictures is surprisingly great. I saw a film a few weeks back about two school kids who wanted to marry whilst at school, it was really well done.

Favourite film of all time Green for danger was on talking pictures. Featured Alastair Sims and Megs Jenkins.

Love that channel.

LyingWitch i posted that a couple of weeks ago. But im sure they will show it again at some point.
Ive got really into spy stuff as ive got older.

Im hoping they show Codename Kyril which is a spy miniseries that Edward Woodward did in 1988.

Oh. I didn't look at the date, HelenaDove. I've asked my husband to 'tape it'.

I hope you're right and, if they do show Codenae Kyril, please give me a prod if you remember.

I will do

Thank you, HelenaDove, I/we can then settle down to watch it with a or ? :)

Incidentally not Talking Pics but Forces TV begin showing comedy series Father Dear Father and Shelley from next week.

Now THIS is what i call proper Christmas telly.

Mystery and Imagination............Dracula.

I love Talking Pictures. They have some great films. I taped Yield to the Night some time ago - Diana Does as a convicted murdress which was loosely based on the Ruth Ellis case. Also I saw Sparrows Can't Sing with a very young Barbara Windsor which was filmed all round the Docklands in the 60's which I remember when I was a kid and brought back lots of memories.

Not Kyril but Reilly Ace of Spies starts tonight. I vaguely remember watching it with my dad when i was a kid.

Watching Spring and Port Wine. Diana Coupland was underrated IMO and known for more than Bless This House.

I love Forces TV, they've recently run the whole of Quantum Leap which had some very moving episodes, our grandaughter said they has been shown one as a part of their studying the Civil RIghts in the US.

Spring and Port Wine is a wonderful very under-rated play, Bill Naughton, we saw it at the Ocatagon in its home town of Bolton many many years ago,

Did you know that it’s a family run channel?
I believe it’s a father and daughter.

Im currently watching Childs Play..................No not that one.

This was released in 1972 and is a supernatural thriller set in a Catholic boys school. With James Mason and Beau Bridges.
