Re: Vintage Radios, TVs etc in films and on TV (not anachronisms)
Yes he's clearly a specialist in wind-up gramophones, and I suspect that's why no work was seen to be done on the chassis of the radiogram in the programme. In fact I an not at all convinced that the amplifier worked, and the sound we heard wasn't dubbed in post-production.
Which brings me to my wider point, that all television programmes, other than factual documentaries are contrived, and exist only to entertain the viewers. Little is what it seems, it's largely a scripted fiction.
The "lights fusing" episode is the clearest example of this. Does anyone really think the cameras would be rolling and set up to so perfectly capture that moment if it was a random event?
