This is the podcast that brings you behind-the-scenes stories, special features, and the latest highlights from the wonderful world of classic cinema and beloved television shows. Whether you’re a longtime fan or discovering these gems for the first time, settle in as we explore the unforgettable stars, hidden treasures, and fascinating history that make Talking Pictures TV such a unique part of our viewing lives.

    It won't just be my voice you'll be hearing over the next 60 minutes—thank goodness, I can almost hear you say. Instead, I’ll be handing over the reins to you, the viewers, who will share your thoughts, memories, and recommendations for the upcoming schedule. This proves once again that it’s your voices, stories, and passion that truly bring the Talking Pictures TV community to life.

    On this episode, we have wartime drama, classic film noir, Cary Grant, Audrey Hepburn, and even naked space vampires! We also have a very special interview from the archive with the much-loved and much-missed actor John Challis, probably best known to most of us as Boycie from Only Fools and Horses.

    So, stay tuned as we embark on another journey through television’s golden archive, celebrating the unforgettable moments that continue to inspire and enchant us all.
