Re: Talking Pictures
I watch or record Talking Pictures quite a lot. It's a bit of a bugger when you have to watch stuff from the fifties and sixties to be entertained. Out of interest, I recorded the first ever Old Mother Riley shown on TV (1937) entitled Bridget's night out as we used to watch the reruns on TV in the sixties (Lucan who played OMR died in 1954). What a load of crap - makes you wonder what we found funny in those days.Re: Talking Pictures

I can listen to old music from the past millennium, without moaning about the state of current music. Similarly when visiting an art gallery.Re: Talking Pictures
My husband loves Talking Pictures, he's a big fan of b & w films. I saw Portrait of Jennie again the other week and that was still good, but for me all these films seem very stilted and, well, unrealistic. Everyone is either frightfully posh or else Gor' Blimey working class, young men who are supposed to be "yoofs" look about 30, police stations never seem to have any phone calls - and don't get me started on Brief Encounter ....Re: Talking Pictures
Talking pictures is the only channel my dad will watch really, he doesn't like todays movies with all the bad language in and can relate to the movies and programmes of old, I think its a good channel to have. I've seen land of the giants on there and the big valley, I have to admit, I still like them.
