Re: A Family at War. TV set.
Well what ever the set is, it is big. Check out the depth of the cabinet. Exactly as one would expect a pre-war TV set to be like.

Re: A Family at War. TV set.
If the aspect ratio is corrected it doesn't look quite so deep. It is a strange looking set with the inset Bakelite front and is that a cloth on the top or is it a pale veneer inset? With the four knob configuration I wondered if it might be a continental Philips model.

Re: A Family at War. TV set.
The surround on a Bush TV11A looks similar to the surround in the pics:

Re: A Family at War. TV set.
The Dutch DVD set is edited in the sense the break bumpers are removed, not my idea of, "Complete and unedited".
Good news is Talking Pictures TV are showing this on weekdays at the same time with Episode 1 yesterday. These have the original break bumpers intact but lacked the original Granada caption. I'm slightly too young to remember this first time around. It's well up there with other classics like, "Upstairs Downstairs". |

My son-in-law pitches on behalf of several composers, for original TV music.

Re: A Family at War. TV set.
I am beginning to think this is indeed a very elaborate TV prop.
It does not add up. The top of the cabinet is very much 'English Electric' themed. Likewise the main chassis is Bush TUG.. influenced and the mask has all the looks of a 1950 series Ultra W720 series. I know of no model that has all these attributes but as I learn something new everyday, I am open to suggestions. Very intriguing. John. |

Re: A Family at War. TV set.
For anyone interested this is a fascinating site dedicated to, "A Family At War" with a comprehensive guide to every episode made.
There is also a chat section (via Emails) which includes creator and writer John Finch and Colin Douglas's son Tim contributing frequently. http://www.afamilyatwar.com/ One question that came up recently was the vintage broadcasts heard on the programme, singers and the likes and the comedy programmes. Any ideas what programmes and what the singers were? |
