I've often written about my interest in films and television programmes from the past, so was delighted to discover Talking Pictures TV (found it on Freeview Channel 81) which made its appearance in May 2015. Recently, the Hertfordshire Life Magazine published my six-page article which so many people have enjoyed reading.
Also in the Talking Pictures studio this week has been the wonderful Caroline Munro. She’s been filming more introductions for all you Cellar Dwellers. The Cellar Club (Friday at 9pm) really does go from strength to strength. The team have found more unusual, films for you. This week’s triple-bill includes The Abominable Dr Phibes (1971). This comedy horror is a camp classic and stars the magnificent Vincent Price, who is clearly enjoying every minute of his performance. And there’s a very familiar face as the photos of the doctor’s late wife. (Clue: she introduces the film).
If you were at the Festival of Film in Stockport last year, you will have seen Frazer Hines in conversation with Melvyn Hayes. Happily, we recorded the event, and you can watch Melvyn regaling us all with his funniest stories on Tuesday at 3.25pm in Talking Pictures with Melvyn Hayes.
This week’s episode of Maigret (Saturday at 8pm) has as its guest star, Margaretta Scott. Margaretta was in lots of British films of the 1930s and 40s and moved easily into television. Her career was given a boost in the 1970s when she played Mrs Pumphrey, owner of Tricky Woo the dog, in All Creatures Great and Small. She went on to star in Together, which you can see every Monday and Wednesday at 9am.
Today, 23 January at 5pm, you will enjoy watching the The Footage Detectives. Mike Read and Noel Cronin show us some pre-WWII footage of Germany, a lost episode of a series teaching English starring Hattie Jacques and footage of Radio Essex. Next Sunday, 30th January at 5pm, the chaps are on their virtual travels once again, reliving the family holidays of the 1950s. Don’t miss this slice of nostalgia.
More filming is taking place as we speak and the team at Talking Pictures have been filming more episodes of The Footage Detectives this week. Lots of amazing guests have been lined up, including Frank Muir’s son, Jamie Muir with unseen Peter Sellers footage, Patsy Blower, Larry the Lamb and Gay Emma from Badger’s Bend.Also in the Talking Pictures studio this week has been the wonderful Caroline Munro.
