    A new channel called Rewind TV is to launch on Sky and FTA Satellite (which may include Freesat) on the 23rd of May 2024.

    It will show older programmes from the UK. The channel's official website says it is aimed at the over 55+ demographic.

    I posted this in the broadcasting section earlier. I think they are negotiating with Freesat which explains why they weren’t mentioned!

    Only right. Them programs were never made for HD T.V as it was way before that and they would look terrible on it.

    Live long and Prosper

    Peace and long life.

    Actually a lot of stuff made in the UK in the 60s/70s with a view to selling it in the US was shot on film.

    Fingal County Council are certainly not competent to be making decisions about the most important piece of infrastructure on the island. They need to stick to badly designed cycle lanes and deciding on whether Mrs Murphy can have her kitchen extension.

    The past is the future of TV. And indeed the present. As it has to be when there are thousands of stations looking to fill in 24 hours a day all year round.

    programmes such as the Avengers and The Prisoner were filmed on 35 mm with a view to selling overseas. Fast forward ten years or so into the 70s and shows like The Sweeney, Minder and The Professionals look terrible filmed on 16 mm so in effect the older shows will hold up better on modern tvs!
