It has lots of old (mainly B) movies and a few old series such as Dragnet and I Love Lucy plus old documentaries .

Us lot ovver 'ere talk like that you know, old chap! Have to impress the natives. They love our English accents. One of 'em answered the phone one time when I called Mrs L at the library where she worked. She said later, "I bet you only married him for his accent." 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
