Talking Pictures TV, a family-owned, father and daughter-run station with only three members of staff, launched on Freeview less than three years ago but it already has over two million viewers.
Its unashamedly nostalgic diet of mainly old black-and white films, documentary shorts and TV series of yesteryear has proved a huge hit with the public and - we are informed - the Queen.
If you want variety, then Channel 81 Freeview is the place to get it these days.
Or: Talking Pictures TV Sky 328 Freesat 306 Virgin 445

We love watching the old films from the 40's and 50's. It was saying on Sky tv the other day that Talking pictures is now the most popular channel on sky tv in the UK.

The Old Dark House is a wonderful film (if it's the right one - 1930s, not 60s).
"So you got your feet wet, did you?"
"Yes - and that's not all I got wet either."
"Aye, I didn't think it was."
