Re: Talking Pictures TV
Still waiting for the Talking Pictures film channel - available on Freeview/Freesat/Sky.... I contacted TP and got the below:-
Dear *****
We are STILL in negotiations with Virgin, since 2014 actually- but I have no news. I would advise you let them know you would like to watch Talking Pictures TV on their platform as it all helps.
Many thanks

A bit more forthcoming than VM. Probably money being 'negotiated' but since Freeview/Freesat have it can't imagine the cost is high. So let VM know if you want a film channel that everyone else is getting.

Although 'soon' doesn't sound quite right. 'In due course, if there are no potholes on the way' sounds more like it.

Well, if it takes this long to negotiate carriage for a black and white film channel, I don't rate our chances of getting anything of quality in the near future!

It does have colour films aswell OB ! Some good stuff on there depending on your tastes - Dr. Crippen, The Mummy’s Shroud, Moby Dick, The Day Of The Triffids, Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde, Beast in the Cellar (a gory horror with Beryl Reid which I can highly recommend !)

I know, Mr K, that was a bit tongue in cheek!
The channel doesn't appeal to me much. I've already seen most of the films you've quoted there, but I no longer watch all that old stuff. However, it does appeal to some, including your good self, and VM do need to try to cater for as many tastes as possible.

The trouble is OB you are still a young pup who has not developed the taste for these good old films of yore.

Apart from the whale bit that also comes from Star Trek II - Wrath of Khan.

Well some films, but there are memorable bits from many.
