Eye level oven...

... Might be a rotisserie.

Moffat?

Nope, its a Creda - several of the same cookers appear over and over again. It was a thermostatically controlled oven with a rotesserie. Other versions had spiral ring hob and some had the main oven with a fan

Would anyone know what Hyacinth's cookers were by any chance? I am attaching a link to a GIF which shows what was her first cooker, I believe. You can see it has a see through piece over the controls.

The second image I attached directly shows the third cooker she had, and in between there was a black one but I think it was only in an episode or two, I don't have any pictures of it. It's not the best picture but the best I could capture.

Daisy had an electric cooker with coils and I think the controls were on the back and up higher than the surface be a foot or so. Her kitchen was only seen in two episodes and it may not have been the same cooker in both shots.

As for halogen cermaic tops, we did have them for a brief time here in the States during the 90s and possibly late 80s. I don't believe they were very popular as regular radiant ceramic tops. I do remember Jenn Air offering some halogen cartridges for their cooktops and ranges, and Amana had a range where I think two of the four burners were halogen and the other two radiant.

Convection ovens in household didn't catch on here until around the 80s I would guess. Jenn Air had some in the mid-late 80s and I know GE Profile ranges and ovens had them on the TOL models around the mid-late 1990s. Possibly others did as well but today, they are mostly on the high end brands and otherwise only seen on very TOL ranges from common brands like Whirlpool, GE, Kenmore and Frigidaire.

You can tell it's set design as the position of the electrical outlet and switch for the cooker is totally illegal lol
