Default Yet another TV to identify...

Quite by chance I caught an episode of 'Bless this House' this morning. Sid was watching a bit of errm, well, sort of softcore porn, this being on at lunchtime,
But as it was the 1970s I suppose we shouldn't be surprised...

Anyway what was Sid's TV? My guess would be a Thorn either an 950 or an early 1400?
The set isn't a model I recognise though I am just going on the control knobs and the general look of the thing.

The set looks a bit wide in the picture but I think that's down to the aspect ratio of the original programme it looked as if it had been stretched to fit a modern screen rather than transmit it with gaps either side.

Does anyone recognise the set? The programme was first shown in 1973 so either way Sid's telly was a few years old. A lot of viewers had 'gone colour' by then.
