TV was early on in the programme, they said it was analogue but I could not see what it was.

Best wishes, Geoffrey.

I had a look on the BBC iPlayer, and could read the name 'Plustron on the front top of the TV, there was something written just below it but it wasn't legible. It also includes a radio. It is round, like a ball, and cream coloured.

From the Audiogold website I got this:

Plustron E036 1990's Football Television
23cm wide
Practical
Black & white
Battery & Mains power
Prop hire only - not for sale

Regards,

Dave.

"Plustron" were one of the better members of the 1970s/1980s electronics rebranders whose gear turned up in plenty of places.

The "Plustron TVRC5D" was popular as a portable VHF/UHF multi-standard TV/radio amongst the broadcast-DX community a few decades back.
