I am sure most of you know about the TV channel "Talking Pictures". It is available on various platforms (Sky, Virgin etc, see web site below)
While it does show mostly films and historic documentaries it also features many old TV series, some of them comedy. Recently it has been showing "Get Some In" (Robert Lindsay) and "For the love of Ada" (Wilfred Pickles, Irene Handl).
For comedy fans it also shows many old comedy films from the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s, most of them British.
Great place to watch up and coming stars in small parts. I have seen Terry Scott, Tommy Cooper, Sid James, Dick Emery and many others in small parts in old comedy films.
They have also been showing old episodes of "Sunday night at the London Palladium" with many stars such as Bruce Forsyth, Jim Dale and loads of others.
There is also an interesting program called "Tell Me Another" where famous stars (Ted Ray, Arthur Askey, Barbara Windsor, Spike Milligan etc) tell humourous stories from their lives to Dick Hills (who used to write for Morecambe and Wise) - rememeber "Sid and Dick" - the Boom, Ooh ,Yatta ta sketch
