Michael Aspel and PMC?
The other night I was watching 'Antiques Roadshow' on Dave, and they showed extracts of Michael's last show. Anyway, he was presenting from a boardroom of a Palace (don't know where, possibly Hampton Court) and as the camera panned round I clocked a pair of TB2s. They kept flitting back to Michael interviewing famous people, amongst a montage of clips from his stint, and the camera kept zooming in on these PMCs.
Also, on BBC News 24 they have a late night programme, think it was the 'Today' with Evan Davis, and noticed some Dynvector or Dynaduio speakers in the background.
On the 1970's-80s cop programme The Professionals there's an episode that shows a Yamaha CA-710 and possibly a Dual or AR turntable. Later in the episode they show a Hitachi D-220 cassette deck.
Have you seen programmes, either documentaries or dramas, with a recognisable hi-fi components?
Roksan Xerxes in an early Inspector Morse episode (about company directors of a family run, high-end, TT manufacturer).
Morse had one himself.
Revox B77s in 'Bank Job' and 'Munich'. (Both movies were set in years that were too early for the B77.)
'Dr House' uses a SOTA turntable in his office.
No but what about the green wallpaper in Eastenders?

It's time for another pill.....that is, if you haven't sent them all to me! 
There is an A&R Cambridge A60 and T21 duo (black veneer versions) on a shelf in a record shop in an episode of "Life On Mars".
(The one where he meets the mother of his future girlfriend 'Maya'.)
Also about 3 or 4 years too early given that 'Life On Mars' is set around 1973.
Transcriptors Hydraulic Reference turntable in 'A Clockwork Orange'.
I also remember that Chandler and Joey had some large American electrostatic speakers in their apartment in 'Friends'. (Don't remember which episodes or which brand and I don't have the DVDs to check.)

A few months ago BBC FOUR showed a documentary on Pink Floyd, and in their floating recording studio on the Thames I noticed B&W Nautilus speaker lurking in the background.
In another episode of The Professionals they were staking out a gang and in the house, although can't be sure, looked like a Linn LP12 turntable.
This is very sad.
Just seen a Sheba cat food ad and it looks like the person has B&W CM9, but anyone identify the reciever?
They also had some Blueroom speakers in Chandler and Joeys apartment in some of the episodes.
There's a Dual CS505-1 box in Control's office in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.
Tom Cruise has a NAD system in War Of The Worlds.
Bruce Wayne has B&O in Christopher Nolan's Batman movies.
The Mechanic has a Project deck in it (I forget the model)
On the BBC website there's a video of Rory Cellan-Jones interviewing Brian Eno in his home studio. A pair of Yamaha NS1000's are in the background. Nice.

Yup.....and it was you that recognized it. It was the JVC JA-S22 on the Birds Eye cod fillet ad.
