New product placement might be a new threat to seeing the original version of a film or TV series.
Pretty soon you will not be able to see the original with it being 'branded' in both senses of the word)

I have long thought that modern most broadcasters don't give a damn about the actual presentation of their TV shows & movies, they just bung 'em out any old how. Product placement, channel logos, 'next' pop-up banners & voice-overs, intrusive 'coming soon' on-screen plugs*,commercial breaks galore, minimising end credits...the list goes on. Amateurish at best in its approach to contemporary/recent content, positively appalling in its treatment of classic archive TV!
Sorry - end of rant!
* even the BBC stooped to doing this when recently promoting the new series of 'Line Of Duty'

Manufacturers of quick-drying paint'll be keen on getting into some classic shows!

About the best is probably TPTV - completely clean programming and their logo ain’t too intrusive.

Probably because the team behind it genuinely seem to love what they do. And their broadcasting of six (so far) missing episodes of 'No Hiding Place' demonstrates an interest in rare material and an admirable eagerness for it to be enjoyed by one & all.

I get the impression that they’re basically a bunch of enthusiasts like us 👍

If you haven't already got everything you love on physical media then perhaps now is the time to do it (I remember the BBC showing butchered versions of The Good Life 30 years ago). Films and TV have always been fiddled with but the advent of digital made it a whole lot more easy.

Films and TV have always been fiddled with but the advent of digital made it a whole lot more easy. Wise words! Luckily a lot of titles seem to be permanently available (occasionally repackaged, but essentially the same material) but certain more niche releases have a tendency to vanish off the shelves never to re-appear again(Adam Adamant Lives, Forsyte Saga anyone?). Get 'em & treasure 'em while you can - that's my advice!

I’ve got a substantial collection of DVDs - and they’re staying!

Can I use this line of thought (i.e. keep your DVD to watch it untampered with) next time there is an outrage over what the "socially aware pc brigade gone mad" is doing?

So long as it’s not censored stuff going out on physical media of course 😉

About the best is probably TPTV - completely clean programming and their logo ain’t too intrusive. I think ALL logos are intrusive to the point where I don't watch the programme. I would probably watch a lot of Talking Pictures stuff if only they'd get rid of the logo - or at least put it out of the picture when 4x3 material is running (which is probably most of the time on that channel). After all, we like to see classic programmes as they looked at the time - and that did not include logos stuck on the screen like someone had forgotten to remove the price tag.
