Storyline
Of East London, Vic Dakin dotes on his aged and largely bedridden mother. He is also the leader of a criminal gang whose proceeds are largely from the regular collection of "protection money" from their victims. Vic often uses brutal violence against enemies as well as "friends" to prove a point, the violence in and of itself which he seems to relish. While not a regular means to money, Vic decides that his gang will work on a tip to rob a factory payroll, which, somewhat against his wants, will entail working with fellow criminal Frank Fletcher, who understands such a job better than Vic or anyone on his team. Making the job more complex at this time are: the police being after Vic for the vicious attack on one of Vic's associates who acted as a police snitch; and Vic's association with Wolfie Lissner, who procures sexual services for a number of people, including some fairly high profile ones, and who often acts as Vic's "on demand" sexual partner.—Huggo

Starting tonight at 10.05pm "The Wheeltappers And Shunters Club" Episode 1 from 1974.
Produced by Granada Television, The Wheeltappers and Shunters Social Club originally aired on ITV from 1974 to 1977. Set in a fictional Northern working men’s club, the show recreated the atmosphere of the traditional British club scene of the 1970s.
Hosted by comedian Colin Crompton as the club’s chairman and usually compered by Bernard Manning, the series featured a unique format where the audience sat around tables, enjoying drinks and snacks, singing along, and participating much like they would in a real club. 48 episodes were broadcast over six series.
The show’s guest lineup included many well-known and rising stars, giving early TV exposure to acts like Cannon & Ball and Paul Daniels. A long list of artists such as Alvin Stardust, Lonnie Donegan, Kathy Kirby, The Krankies, Roy Orbison, and Gene Pitney, among others, also appeared.

Will be Great to see wee Nicky before she became famous
Missed the first 15 minutes of it last night as I mistakenly thought it began at 10.15. There was a guy throwing knives at a girl narrowly missing. He then persuaded Bernard to join in. Then the knives were set on fire. All this as the audience were supping their ale and smoking like mad. Next was Freddie Garrity and finished with Tessie O'Shea. My favourite bit was when in the middle of all this the bingo started with the Chairman dropping all the balls, some landing in his pint, then carrying on drying them and calling the numbers. I used to frequent lots of working mens clubs around Doncaster mid sixties and this was fairly accurate. 
I know I'm easily amused.

Just got your Wee Nicky reference.
tonight at 06.15pm, Look at life Bookies 1964 . study of present state of bookmakers in england, their poss future , ans competition representd by the tote .
not on Tpics , but tonight im going to watch one of the really great films ever, Pappillon the original
Watched Papillon in 1973 at The Movies i absolutely loved it.
I watched Papillon when it was first released & I was bored stiff! Each to his own.
Over Xmas- Guns of Navarone, Sea Wolves- now those were films worthy of watching again & again. Matter of personal choice of course. Very subjective. The 2 worst films I ever saw were The French Lieutenant's Woman & Fritz the Cat which I walked out from after 15 minutes!
Re.Pappillon surprised the follow up book Banco was never made into a film a good read.
i enjoyed Spartacus over xmas, hadnt seen it for years
Just been reading that the Talking Pictures Channel will not be available on the Sky Stream platform. Another good reason to ignore Sky Stream.
on rewind ch95 freeview, ive just come across , starting now, Somebody at the top of the stairs an episode from the brilliant itv series Thriller
freeview 95 tonight, my first older woman crush,, Angie DICKINSON IN POLICEWOMAN
Being on the awful Sky Stream system now I no longer have access to the Talking Pictures Channel.
sparrow, im very much a dinosaur, all i have is freeview, so quite happy, i get my classic fm, test match special, radio 4 extra , and freeview
Wasn't my choice elisjohn to have Sky Streaming but just have to live with it now I'm afraid.
Dr No is on ITV 4 now. I must admit I cannot remember the plot. Sean Connery looked so young!
Thanks, die linke. I will take a look later as I'm not used to used to this system yet.
Can't get the Talking Pictures Channel on Freeview at the moment with Sky Stream apparently......
Once you sign up for Sky’s service, you get all of Sky’s channels (as well as 3rd party channels and some Freeview channels) via broadband –

Looking forward to The Footage Detectives at 5pm. Some really good stuff on this programme. Mike Read and his partner fill the bill well.
Anybody watch that brilliant thriller that was on last night called "Twilight`s Last Gleaming"? Absolutely terrific starring Burt Lancaster and Richard Widmark.
Thanks to you all for putting up links to these old films. I have seen a few on Renown films already.
This week we’ve got some exciting news about the wonderful series A FAMILY AT WAR. Like many of you, we’ve been desperate to get it back on the channel where it belongs and now, we can announce that the wait is over! As of the 22nd FEBRUARY, AT 8PM the first instalments of this epic series, now with optional subtitles, and starring Colin Douglas, Shelagh Fraser and Barbara Flynn, will begin. But did you know that although the series is set in Liverpool, it was filmed at Granada Studios in Manchester and includes many early appearances of the Coronation Street cast? Keep your eyes peeled for Julie Goodyear, Barbara Knox and Bryan Mosley (Corrie’s Bet Lynch, Rita Tanner, and Alf Roberts) amongst others!
must admit to hell of a crush on Coral atkins, Sheila in the series .
Thanks Sparrow for the heads up about A Family At War. One of the greatest tv dramas ever made with a terrific cast. If I remember right, was initially shown each week on a Sunday afternoon and all the family watched it.
Now we have all these channels and the vast majority produce and show total crap for eejits who are easily pleased. Beam me up scottie.

A classic John Mills film , 3.20 pm today The HISTORY OF MR POLLY

yes i saw that episode few months back, really enjoyed it, ps one of my fav films on tonight 8.10pm, ive probably mentioned it loads on here , The Halfway House . 1944 with Merfyn and Glynis Johns , super film
tonight 6.35 , nostalgia .....
Overview
Sussex - A country rich in scenic beauty and history. South Down and Weald - open space and green woodland. This is Sussex, a county rich in scenic beauty, seaside resorts and international events; peaceful downland villages and fertile weald. History shows itself everywhere, right back to the threshold of legend - The Long Man of Wilmington and Chanctonbury Ring. All this the traveller can see and enjoy, together with the present-day delights of, for example, the Petworth Show, Goodwood Races, polo at Cowdray Park, Glyndebourne, and the fun of the Sussex coast.

For all Brighton nostalgesiacs, Jigsaw. 22.05. Great shots of Brighton apparently.
Jigsaw's a cracking film. One of Jack Warner's finest. Brighton as I remember it as a kid. Miles away from what it's become today.

Barnaby and Scott enter the world of horseracing when the trainer of thoroughbred Bantling Boy is battered to death.

Out of interest, that excellent Jigsaw film is the one that has been most shown on Talking Pictures to date...
Two good films on TP tonight. Night of the Demon & Pink String and Sealing Wax.
ill be waching, The Halfway House again tonight , cracking 1944 film[
Please Sir! 2.50pm Monday.
One of mt favourite films, still stands the test of time. It’s like a modern-day Shakespeare comedy there are that many plots, sub-plots, unrequited love, intrigue, etc.
Terrific acting thrown in from Alderton, Guyler, frosty-faced Joan Sanderson, etc, a feelgood film.

agreed , wasnt a fan of Guyler as an actor, but my God he was brilliant in the radio series Men of the Ministry ps after Please Sir , theres a brillant film with Alistair Sim , An Inspector Calls
Saw that one a while back. They picked the thickest looking perps. possible did they not? Producer clearly had a very low opinion of doggie folk. 
I have not seen that , might give it a go on encore catch up
Very amusing obviously based on the Attempted Dagenham Coup ,Dagenham got a mention as well
