Default Tom Jones plus countless vintage radios!

This documentary about Tom Jones' life in the 50s is not only compelling viewing but there are also many, many shots of vintage radios of all makes and sizes, plus a some vintage TVs too. It's well worth watching:

In one respect this was a bit of a disappointment for me and my wife as we came very close to having our house used in this program as Toms childhood home. There might have been a nice old Murphy used as a backdrop.
It would have been nice to say we had "Tom Jones round" It wasn't to be.

It's a bit out of the scope for this site but briefly our house is on filming agencies, because of it's old fashioned 1930's look. I've retained all its surviving original features and added back features that had been removed.
Most 1930's semi detached houses have been heavily modernised, particularly with plastic windows so the filming people like the look of our house.
We get 2-3 jobs a year ranging from feature films, TV work, fashion photo shoots and even pop videos.
