TV and radio in "Passport to Pimlico"

[ppppenguin]

Last night Ruth and I went to a screening of "Passport to Pimlico" at the lovely Cinema Museum near Kennington. The BVWS held a couple of events there so it may be familiar.

I think it was about 20 minutes in that a TV was visible for a few seconds. I think it was a Bush TV1 but not 100% certain. The film was made in 1949 but set in 1947/8 so just about authentic.

There were also lots of radios being bought and sold in "Burgundy".

One of the truly great Ealing Comedies. Don't think I'd seen it since my teens.

Not forgetting, "The man in the white suit," and "The lady killers.!
I laugh just looking at the titles !

Thank you Ealing Studios.

I don't have a recording of it but my memory is of a consol with a sloping screen of small size and a speaker grill below with with horizontal bars. Down the side of the set the was a semi-vertical cut-out containing a number of control knobs, possibly six.

I wondered if it might be an RGD 391? http://www.thevalvepage.com/tvmanu/rgd/rgd.htm
