==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.<ref name="Barnett">{{cite news|last=Barnett|first=David|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/long_reads/talking-pictures-tv-black-and-white-television-a7961651.html|title=Talking Pictures TV: The return of black and white television|work=The Independent|date=26 September 2017|access-date=23 February 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180224052941/http://www.independent.co.uk/news/long_reads/talking-pictures-tv-black-and-white-television-a7961651.html|archive-date=24 February 2018|url-status=live}}</ref> Films in many genres (horror, comedy, drama and thriller) are included in the schedule.

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.<ref name="SCS podcast"/>

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.<ref>{{cite tweet|user=talkingpicstv|number=947532030639857668|title=10 years ago my dad had an idea to launch a {{typo|tvchannel}} showing only old films,clips of nostalgia,old tv series..Everyone told us we were mad.|author=Talking Pictures TV|date=31 December 2017|accessdate=11 February 2019|archive-url=https://archive.today/20200402115356/https://twitter.com/talkingpicstv/status/947532030639857668|archive-date=2 April 2020}}</ref> Older movies, including those made in black and white, were once regularly shown on terrestrial channels, such as BBC and Channel 4,<ref name="SCS podcast"/> but such programming had declined by the 2000s, with only the best known classic films occasionally being 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".<ref name="Watford Observer"/> However, television networks rejected their pitches, unconvinced that it would be of high demand,<ref name="SCS podcast">{{cite interview|last=Cronin-Stanley|first=Sarah|interviewer=Adam Roache|title=The Talking Pictures TV Podcast: March 2019|url=https://www.attaboyclarence.com/the-talking-pictures-tv-podcast/1/3/2019/march-2019|publisher=Adam Roache; iTunes|location=Hertfordshire|date=1 March 2019|work=The Talking Pictures TV Podcast|access-date=16 March 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190327233311/https://www.attaboyclarence.com/the-talking-pictures-tv-podcast/1/3/2019/march-2019|archive-date=27 March 2019|url-status=live}}</ref> so they decided to set up the channel independently.<ref name="Watford Observer"/> Cronin-Stanley later explained that the channel specialises in "the things people have forgotten".<ref>{{cite news |last1=Rogers |first1=Jude |title=Inside Talking Pictures, the ultimate in lockdown comfort TV |url=https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2020/may/17/inside-talking-pictures-the-ultimate-in-lockdown-comfort-tv |date=17 May 2020|quote=Also, they’d never consider showing bigger films, “stuff like Where Eagles Dare”, Cronin-Stanley says. “That’s not us.

===Themed nights=== In 2021, the channel introduced ''The Cellar Club with Caroline Munro'', a Friday night block of crime, sci-fi and horror films, like 1974 Hammer production ''Captain Kronos The Vampire Hunter'' and Joseph Green's ''The Brain That Wouldn't Die'' from 1962.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.tptvencore.co.uk/Playlist/Cellar-Club?id=3434a3fa-6d00-40ed-8d91-c11d2167fc4a|title=Cellar Club | Talking Pictures TV|website=www.tptvencore.co.uk}}</ref>

===Controversy, racial slurs=== The regulator Ofcom has warned the channel about the use of racial slurs in its programming on a handful of occasions,<ref name="Moore"/> 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''.<ref name="TMA">{{cite web|url=http://www.chortle.co.uk/news/2017/01/09/26584/tv_company_rapped_for_racist_language|title=TV company rapped for racist language|website=chortle.co.uk|publisher=Chortle|date=9 January 2017|access-date=11 April 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180412083119/http://www.chortle.co.uk/news/2017/01/09/26584/tv_company_rapped_for_racist_language|archive-date=12 April 2018|url-status=live}}</ref>

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".<ref name="Moore"/> 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."{{refn|group="Note"|Shown before episodes of ''Rumpole of the Bailey''.}} In addition, occurrences of such terms may be removed from the soundtrack and the subtitles.{{refn|group="Note"|For example, a showing in November 2020 of the 1945 documentary ''Burma Victory'' deleted all references to Japanese forces as "Japs".}}

==Related projects== ===Renown Pictures=== For over 20 years, Cronin-Stanley and Cronin have been patrons of a DVD membership club, The Renown Film Club, for fans of B-film classics.<ref name=Express/> 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,<ref name="Watford Observer"/> such as much of the Southern Television library, and originally licensed them out to terrestrial channels.<ref name="Barnett"/> 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,<ref name=Renown>{{cite web|url=https://www.RenownFilms.co.uk|title=Renown Pictures Ltd|website=RenownFilms.co.uk|publisher=Renown Pictures Ltd|access-date=14 October 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171014234347/https://www.renownfilms.co.uk/|archive-date=14 October 2017|url-status=live}}</ref> 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.<ref>{{cite tweet|user=Renown_Pictures|title=Full of toe tappers and tunes to whistle along to!

===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 who have appeared on the guest lists include Jess Conrad (who reunited with the remaining cast of ''The Boys'' in 2017),<ref>{{cite tweet|user=TalkingPicsTV|number=926154491866615808|title=20:30 THE BOYS REUNION (2017) PREMIERE the Q&A filmed at Reunion Event held at @ElstreeStudios with #JessConrad #TonyGarnett #DudleySutton|date=2 November 2017|accessdate=11 February 2019|archive-url=https://archive.today/20200402120526/https://twitter.com/TalkingPicsTV/status/926154491866615808|archive-date=2 April 2020}}</ref> Rita Tushingham,<ref name="Renown Festival 2018">{{cite web|url=https://www.facebook.com/TalkingPicturesTV/photos/a.651398788327447.1073741830.636949856439007/1194016527399001/?type=3&theater|title=The 4th Renown Festival of Film 2018|website=Facebook|date=14 December 2017|access-date=22 May 2018|archive-url=https://archive.today/20200402120802/https://www.facebook.com/TalkingPicturesTV/photos/a.651398788327447/1194016527399001/?type=3&theater|archive-date=2 April 2020}}</ref> Brian Murphy, Melvyn Hayes, and Derren Nesbitt.<ref name="Renown Festival 2018"/>
