We are back with another two week's worth of vintage film goodness, and not just that - this episode also features reviews of the fine short subjects and TV shows from the usual group of TPTV enthusiasts. Charlie Chaplin, Norman Wisdom, Fred Astaire, Audrey Hepburn, Charlton Heston - our late July episode is stocked to the brim with stars! 

Heroes, real and fictional. Music, cool and hot. Stars, big, and…bigger. You can find them all in this July episode of the Talking Pictures TV podcast, presented by Mel Byron. Cary Grant is back to make us laugh. There’s Grace Kelly in her Oscar-winning role. Steve McQueen makes his movie swansong. Watch out for a sort-of-love story from an unlikely source, and a man who’s 104 years old. Enjoy reviews, fun facts and some great songs all designed to whet your appetite for Talking Pictures TV’s upcoming attractions.

Welcome to the latest edition of the Talking Pictures TV podcast. Plenty to chat about in this episode including two premieres, four feathers and a horror double bill.

And if that wasn't enough, there's vocal support from Nancy Whisky, Dick James and Cliff Richard.
