With Antonia Quirke

Antonia talks to Noel Cronin, the man behind cult channel Talking Pictures TV, which specialises in those old movies you used to catch on afternoon telly, often when you were ill from school. He explains how he runs a TV station from his home in the Hertfordshire countryside.

As Clint Eastwood growls his way back into cinemas as The Man With No Name in A Fistful Of Dollars, poet Bridget Minamore and critic Tim Robey discuss the appeal of the Strong, Silent Type.

Ex-submariner Justin Beattie plumbs the depths of movies about life under the ocean waves and separates fact from fiction in movies such as The Hunt For Red October and Das Boot.
