The Gadget Show was about the only thing I watched on CH5 however the new format is shite so no longer. It all went tits up when Suzi Perry left...

Sorry, but I was more than happy to trade Suzy and her scary nostrils for Pollyanna and Rachel! I stopped watching because Jason Bradbury makes me want to throw things at the TV.

Back on topic, Mr Big from Sex and the City (Mrs. B watched it, not me.................honest.) had a B&O Beosound 9000 and a Rega Planar 3 turntable. Not sure how it sounded as the Beosound only has a line level aux input and there was no evidence of a phono preamp that I could see.

Ok a bit non specific in places but.... there was a men's aftershave ad awhile back with a Gyrodec and Mcintosh electronics.

Life insurance ad with a Linn CD player and integrated amp (I think) sitting on a kitchen counter to the right side.

Current car ad and a lady has a nice system with a reel to reel.

Galaxy ad with old large 70s reciever

Jumper had complete Meridian system.

Emerdale had a Denon DM30.

Some computer games device (X Box maybe) ad has old audio gear in the back ground.

Ruark Audio (maybe Tivoli) in Emerdale. Cambridge Audio system in Emerdale.

9 and a half weeks Nakamichi audio

Martin Logans in Friends

Suits one of the lawyers has vinyl set up in office, maybe a Project or Music Hall turntable.

Best one by far imho was an ET 2 tonearm, VPI turntable in Indecent Proposal

House I think had a Sota turntable.

Some computer games device (X Box maybe) ad has old audio gear in the back ground.

Aha yes, I think that was a Pioneer SX-1250.

Friends - Blue Room Mini Pods

[Spectral Morn]

Aha yes, I think that was a Pioneer SX-1250.

It was too far away in the back ground for me to recognise it but it did look silver period Pioneerish, so could well be.

My shop in Radlett was just a couple of miles from the BBC studios in Borehamwood and they often came to me to borrow equipment for various programmes. Usually, it was 'vintage' gear they wanted, working or not, just so long as it looked interesting. They paid good money but often only shown for a few seconds.

Every time a turntable appears on screen when we're watching TV, Mrs. B rewinds, pauses the picture and waits for me to annouce what it is before continuing. She knows me too well...

Mrs B and Mrs S must be kindred sprits In fact with Mrs S it's any HiFi or pro A/V kit too
