I'm a great fan of L&H and would love to watch these films, but Freeview 81, although it is in HD, which I have, it does not appear, it is not available on BT Vision Plus. Unless I'm doing something wrong.

I saw them live at Nottingham Empire.

Would loved to have seen them live. I've been to Ulverston to the museum and the Bull in Bottesford where Stans sister Olga worked

[larryledpants]

Strange that. I'm on Virgin but I've got Freeview on my TV so just tried it and I'm getting no signal yet other channels seem to work OK.

[LaxtonLad]

In the Radio Times is says "Talking Pictures TV" on 81, below that Freeview 81 (HD only) - their brackets. I have HD but cannot access that channel.

No signal for channel 81 ( and 82) at my place either. Retune shows signal quality as bleddy 1.

Sounds like that's another fine mess you've got yourself in....

I saw a documentary on them a few years back and it was so interesting, I cant say I knew too much about the two but have since started looking at their old shows and no matter how silly it is, it is still worth a good chuckle :)
