A TV station with adverts - oh the shock. I don't mind ad breaks it gives me time to fill up the coffee cup. However the only time I watch TV is at someon'e else's house to watch the campy Hammer or Amicus horrors. I did enjoy a nice Roy Rogers film the other week on Talking Pictures. He was my idol when I was a young kid.
Go try watch USA TV where it's swamped more in commericals. Mainly medicare endorsed by former A listers like Tom Selleck and Joe Namath or those donations adverts from St Jude children's charity with done with Shriners. |

It's nice that they show most of the films uncut. |

Yet again this strange little channel provides most of the decent Christmas viewing; just watched an amusing little thriller starring George Raft (for once NOT playing a villain) but mainly giving a delightful memory boost to life in London in the 1950s - plus much of it was filmed in Walton Studios - (which then housed The Walton Hop for decades). |
