[126] The Take Two series was presented by Elstree historian Morris Bright, and occasionally Robert Ross and/or the channel creators, who interview famous actors whose films and programming is airing on the channel, such as Nanette Newman, Angela Douglas, Rita Tushingham,[127] Sylvia Syms, Michael Craig,[128] Shirley Eaton, Sally Thomsett, Jack Smethurst, Jenny Hanley, Norman Eshley, Valerie Leon, Madeline Smith, Marc Sinden, and Janette Scott;[129] a few of them recorded station idents for the channel.

"Laurel and Hardy Month"[153] aired their short films and feature-length productions throughout September 2017[154] and their movies continue to be shown.

[6] "Ronald Colman Season"[155] occurred throughout November and December 2016, airing movies such as The Devil to Pay!, Bulldog Drummond, and Raffles.

[156] 15 February 2018 was "Sam Kydd Day",[157] with showings of a handful of his movies and television appearances, excerpts from his diaries and anecdotes of his life from his son Jonathan.

[175] The regulator Ofcom has warned the channel about the use of racial slurs in its programming on a handful of occasions,[13] including an episode of Granada Television's A Family at War, originally broadcast in the early 1970s, shown by TPTV in the hour just before the 9pm watershed, and an uncensored interview with Joan Turner during her appearance on the talk show Tell Me Another.

[103] Cronin-Stanley told The Times in February 2018: "Ofcom say we need to advise people before they watch something that it may contain outdated racial stereotyping, but I would say that's babysitting our audience".
