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.

Green Man	It's nice that they show most of the films uncut.
JK2006	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).
