Pretty sure this is an Ekco TC267 being unveiled on the Christmas episode trailer, did any on here supply the set?

Certainly looks like a TC267. The control knobs are the very early style from 1954/55. John.

It does look like the one shown in the 1955 Ekco leaflet, PDF attached.

It certainly is a TC267, I have one here awaiting restoration.
I just wish the cabinet was as nice as the example in the show!

I did think after posting it could also be the TC208. Not much between them really, as John says it does have early knobs.
Lets wait and see if its going to be a BBC superimposed image or something aurora based.
