@oxley264 Happy birthday, Peter. Many thanks for all you do in keeping film history alive. It's very much appreciated. Enjoy the day.

Just to say a big thanks for all the birthday messages I've already received today. As I reach 69 I wanted to say your the best it means a lot ❤️

@PoetDeanwilson6 @JHCPAL Propa booza!! Great place.

My first time in the Crown Posada didn’t disappoint. #Newcastle

@jollybeggars This reminds me of a Jack Vettriano painting.

Classic Northumbrian holiday weather in Bamburgh today.

@Harvey4Jan ...and a very happy birthday from all of us Secret Army fans.

It’s Mr Y’s 84th birthday ! And here finally is the official photo . My Y sporting a small reminder of the catastrophic fall he sustained in the first week of December - now fully recovered. Love to all you HW Lovelies out there and thanks for all the good wishes x

@oxley264 A dark, harrowing story, superbly acted by a first class cast. The interplay between Connery and Bannen is intense and compelling. One of Bannen's best performances.

@bondbrews Great news. I really enjoyed their food last time. It goes so well with beer.

We are pleased to announce our good friends at Mysk Catering will be providing the food at our 11th Anniversary Beer Festival on Sat. 13th June facebook.com/events/s/bond-…

@364690 Wow! After eating those it'll be like having an IED in the back of your trousers!

@rickblackman01 I agree, Rick. A thoroughly good read, packed with loads of interesting stuff. Highly recommended for all @TalkingPicsTV fans.

I occasionally contribute articles to this fab mag, but don't let that put you off! It's stuffed with great articles and full of nostalgia. Go on and subscribe why don't you!

@oxley264 This film is not just a great story told through a cast of superb actors. It's an important social documentary of the time.

@oxley264 ...and not forgetting his most famous line from Apocalypse Now: "I love the smell of napalm in the morning."

Sad news that one of the greats and a true legend Robert Duvall has died age 95. After appearing in To Kill a Mockingbird in 1962 it was only a matter of time before he would be a major star. Other films included The Godfather, The Outfit, MASH, Tender Mercies and True Grit. #RIP

@364690 ...with a side order of windmill arms and a Loake brogues' shoeing!

@NoContextBrits Yes, we owe a debt of gratitude to such geniuses. I'm eternally grateful to the brave person who first watched an egg come out of the back of a hen and thought "I'm going to eat that".

@billy6715 All three sides of Eldon Square should have been preserved, even if it was just the facades. What the developers were allowed to do to that square was nothing short of an absolute disgrace.

Looking across to the north side of Eldon Square, Newcastle in May 1962. The van in the foreground belonged to 'Hayes & Finch Ltd' candle makers & church furnishers.

@TalkingPicsTV It's fitting that this episode was broadcast today as it's Esme Cannon's birthday. She was born on 27th December 1905.

What is the strange interest Father Christmas has under the floorboards? #RupertDavies is 🔎 MAIGRET (1961) 7pm 'A Crime for Christmas' #TPTVsubtitles featuring #BarryFoster #EsmeCannon #HeatherChasen

@oxley264 Many thanks, Peter, and a very Happy Christmas to you and Marian too. Keep up the good work which is very much enjoyed and appreciated. Keep the posts coming. They're great reminders of our favourite films and favourite stars from the past.

Wishing everyone a great Christmas also good health and happiness for next year. Thanks for noticing my posts your the best. Pete & Marian 🎄❤️

@EternallyJustMe @oxley264 A great film. Funny but, in parts, tragic. Superb acting. Highly entertaining. A true classic.

The Apartment (1960) C C Baxter, (Jack Lemmon) a clerk in an insurance company, lends out his apartment to executives for extramarital affairs. However, complications arise when he gets into a romance of his own. Co starring Shirley MacLaine

@oxley264 Yes, you're right, Peter. The 007 franchise came along too late in his career.

@GeoffScottIOW He was brilliant but I suppose Geoff when Dr No came out in 1962 he was 58 and a bit to old in their eyes as they wanted someone younger Connery was 32 in the first film.
