Foundation
TPTV is a family business, founded by producer/editor Noel Cronin, and run by his daughter Sarah Cronin-Stanley with her husband Neill Stanley.[4] Films in many genres (horror, comedy, drama and thriller) are included in the schedule. In-house productions are also shown, as are items from the Cronins' own back catalogue,[6] including Noel's Dandelion Distribution, as well as series from the archive of Southern Television, a former ITV contractor, and early American television shows. Movies are usually copied directly from film reels; damaged reels from the catalogue are often replaced by donations, either from online, viewers or available libraries.[7] Presentation standards vary considerably - its core schedule of vintage British cinema is usually reliable but Hollywood films and those shot in widescreen processes are often broadcast in sub-standard condition.
One of the aims of the founders was to maintain the history of British cinema; it was said to have been in the making since 2007.[8] Older movies including those made in black and white were once regularly shown on terrestrial channels, such as BBC and Channel 4,[7] but had declined by the 2000s, with only the best known classic films occasionally getting aired. Cronin-Stanley explained to the Watford Observer in 2016 that "People were interested in the big titles but he [her father Noel] wanted to save the smaller, more obscure titles, from getting lost".[6] However, television networks rejected their pitches, unconvinced that it would be of high demand,[7] so they decided to set up the channel independently.[6] Cronin-Stanley later explained that the channel specialises in "the things people have forgotten".[9]
Availability
The channel was initially only available via digital satellite on the Sky platform in the United Kingdom.[2] Since 15 September 2015, it has also been available on Freeview channel 81. It became available on Freesat channel 306 in February 2016,[1] and on Virgin Media on 1 June 2017. On Freeview it was initially broadcast only in standard definition (SDTV) on HD multiplex and could only be received by Freeview HD equipment.[1] From 30 November 2017, it became available, to those within coverage (90 percent of UK households), on any TV capable of receiving Freeview.[10] Since 2 January 2018, it has also been available in the afternoon (12:00–18:00) on Freeview Channel 7 in five areas: Cambridge, Lancashire, Manchester, Oxfordshire and Solent.[11] The channel has a weekly audience of about 2 million,[12] although BBC News later reported it possibly rose to as high as 6 million in mid-2020.[13]

Controversy, obsolete racial terms
The regulator Ofcom has warned the channel about the use of obsolete racial terms in its programming on a handful of occasions,[12] including an episode of Granada Television's A Family at War, originally broadcast in the early 1970s, shown by TPTV in the hour just before the 9pm watershed, and an uncensored interview with Joan Turner during her appearance on the talk show Tell Me Another.[90]
Cronin-Stanley told The Times in February 2018: "Ofcom say we need to advise people before they watch something that it may contain outdated racial stereotyping, but I would say that’s babysitting our audience".[12] However, since late 2018, warning notices have been displayed just before some programmes begin, stating, for example, that a programme "was made between 1978 and 1992" and that "Some viewers may be offended by the language and attitudes expressed by some characters ... which reflect the time it was made."[Note 2] Also, occurrences of such terms may be deleted from the soundtrack and the subtitles.[Note 3]
Related projects
Renown Pictures
For over 20 years, Cronin-Stanley and Cronin have been patrons to a DVD membership club, The Renown Film Club, for fans of B-film classics.[2] Cronin had worked for The Rank Organisation and Central Office of Information, and bought the rights to several libraries that owned films that air on TPTV,[6] such as much of the Southern Television library, and originally licensed them out to terrestrial channels.[4] Many of the films aired on Talking Pictures TV are available to buy on DVD, often sold as compilations under different genres, through the distributing company,[160] both online and through the Renown's telephone service. Each DVD set is full of films made between the 1930s and 1960s, and also include special features, such as interviews and history. Other merchandise is also sold on the website, such as mugs, clothing, biographies, and calendars (available to buy in December for the new year), often branded under Talking Pictures TV's name. In spring 2019, Renown released its first CD compilation album named Hits From the Flicks, three CDs of songs from musicals and movies with pop song theme tunes that had aired on the channel.[161]
The Renown Film Festival
Since 2014, the channel's producers created the Renown Film Festival, which celebrates classic British film, featuring guest appearances by actors whose films have been aired, as well as historians, who give interviews; there are also screenings for films that were once considered lost, and memorabilia available to buy and be autographed by the actors. It occurs annually in February, and tickets are advertised on both TPTV's website and the channel. Actors that have appeared on the guest lists include Jess Conrad (who reunited with the remaining cast of The Boys in 2017),[162] Rita Tushingham,[163] Brian Murphy, Melvyn Hayes, and Derren Nesbitt.[163] The festival takes place in Hertfordshire, such as Watersmeet Theatre, Rickmansworth[163] and St. Albans' The Albans Arena,[164] but 2019 was the first year to have more than one festival in a year; October 2019 was the Renown Film's 6th Festival of Film at the Stockport Plaza,[165] which also featured special guests, film screenings, and memorabilia. Although tickets sold out, St. Albans' 2020 Festival was postponed due to the coronavirus outbreak.[166]
Podcast
A spin-off podcast named The Talking Pictures TV Podcast was announced in December 2018[167] by Adam Roche,[168] the creator of the podcasts The Secret History of Hollywood and Attaboy Clarence,[168] and began broadcasting on 3 February 2019. Each episode is uploaded monthly to coincide with TPTV's schedule releases and invites the audience to review movies and television programmes that will broadcast on the channel during that month. Its first episode became the most popular podcast in the UK iTunes chart within roughly five hours.[169]
Notes
- Sky relocated the channel to 328 in April 2018.[3]
- Shown before episodes of "Rumpole of the Bailey".
- For example, a showing in November 2020 of the 1945 documentary Burma Victory deleted all references to Japanese forces as "Japs".
