Don't know about anyone else--but I would love to see a proper old classic movie every afternoon on Iplayer or maybe BBC2 ....if the BBC doesn't have the rights--then get those rights and blinking well £pay....there must currently be huge savings in not having to mount OB's/EntsEvents-so the money is there! .....
Am I the only isolating BBC oldie who loves classic sprocket busting award winning cinema?
If the BBC don't do it --then a commercial channel will--just you see!

WG - have you not yet discovered Ch 81 on Freeview?
"Talking Pictures TV" features some glorious "proper old classic movies" - just like you describe - from the 40s and 50s.
Keep you amused for hours and hours!!
