Talking Pictures TV - 16 Jan 23

« on: January 14, 2023, 13:55:24 »

I am a fan of Talking Pictures TV (Sky 328, Freeview 82, Freesat 306 and Virgin 445). As well as some old films that don't get an airing elsewhere they also show some interesting documentaries.

On Monday 16th January there are four rail related ones.

08:35: Blue Pullman
15:00: Night Mail
17:25: Terminus
22:35: Driving the Train 1959

With an Alastair Sim film thrown in at 21:00 as well!

Their TPTV "Encore" website contains, amongst other things, some of the Southern TV drama archive. Including "Flockton Flyer", which was filmed in the very early days of the West Somerset Ry, 1976 & 1977. Yours truly makes a couple of fleeting appearances.

"Wait. An extra playing the part of an extra", as my then 15 year old daughter unflatteringly put it, when she saw the DVD release in more recent years
