UK Guys: 2point4 Children - whats the washer?
Hey Guys Just re-living my childhood a bit by watching a great UK sitcom 2point4 Children and noticed a couple of interesting washers. The first one is one i can't work out. It a bit like an Ariston in some ways but thats just a stab in the dark. Any ideas? I hope there was powder in the...

Brookside
Once again I apologize to resurrect this thread, but whilst trawling through the Internet, I found this Brookside clip from 2002, in which, a Hoover Logic can be seen, instead of the Zanussi's that are usually seen.
Who had the Dyson though?
Straight from the start the Logic is unloaded.

Stuart Little...
Does anyone know what washing machine was used in the 1st Stuart Little movie? The one he got trapped in. I distinctly remember it was a front loader that looked to be designed like an american tumble dryer, in that the back of the drum didn't move, because it had a fill flume that filled from the top back centre. Just curious.

I remember there being something on the movie make commentary section (whole movie plays, but the makers/cast talk about the scenes in the movie all the way through) of the DVD, and they mentioned about the washer, mentioning that normally TL are more popular, but in order for that scene to work they had to use a FL. I'm not sure if they mentioned a model. But it may be worth looking on the DVD.

Two shows and two young brothers flooded the laundry room from putting too much soap (a whole box, actually) and that's Bobby on 'The Brady Bunch' and Young Theodore "Beaver" on 'Leave It To Beaver'...
The Brady's had an Avocado Whirlpool, while the Cleavers laundry room, in black and white most likely had a washer in White, and like the rest of their appliances, maybe a GE...

Brookside (again)
Here's Ron loading up a Jetsystem, I can't remember the model number but it looks identical to the one that Gail own's in Coronation Street, and I'm sure Eddy on AbFab had one too at one point.

The Zanussi in AbFab was a jetsystem washer, then suddenly became a washer dryer 2 episodes into series 2 and then switched back to a washer again at the end of the series.
I spotted Michael Palin's Servis Quartz matching set in the film "A Fish Called Wanda"

Though not TV...
I found a Hotpoint in some maps in a computer game called GMod. They should be something like a WT960, if I remember correctly.

AbFab
Didn't the washer disappear when she got the new kitchen? I'm sure that at one point there was no washer. It could have been after Patsy set the kitchen on fire.
Eddy also had that awesome looking Zanussi fridge with the tree compartments.

Pretty sure that fridge Edina had was a Creda?
Towards the end, the blue "American" fridge freezer was actually two blue Smeg Piano fridge freezers sat side by side

Hi
Edina definitely had a Creda fridge freezer. Somewhere in my file of Creda brochures I I have it's leaflet. Must have a rummage.

Jacob, series 1 and 2 had the Jetsystem that turned into a washer-dryer that turned back into a jetsystem. Series 3 had a Directa after Patsy burnt the kitchen down. You don't see a washer in series 4 or 5.
The Fridge/Freezer is also a Zanussi, not a Creda.

Zanussi
Thanks Chris, I'm sure it was a Zanuusi. It had that bluey green strip on the top like on the washers. Didn't she have a slimline Zanussi dishwasher at one point as well?
Was there some sort of advertising thing going on there with Eddy and the Zanussi's, like there was on Brookside?

She did have a Zanussi Slimline dishwasher to match the washing machine, but it was only there in episode 1. It had disappeared by episode 2.
I'm not aware of any advertising deal going on with either AbFab or Brookside. Likely that the BBC/C4 got a deal with Zanussi for X amount of appliances for a certain price.

Thanks for that Chris.
Would it be when they were furnishing the sets/houses, and they were looking for interior object etc? Zanussi just happened to come in at that stage then?

Brookside
Although I was never a big fan of it I remember when Brookside started it was wall to wall Zanussi. However, there may be a simpler explanation in that, as I recall, it was filmed inside real houses (the "estate" being built for the purpose) rather than in a studio and the builder may just have got the best deal from Zanussi for the whole job. There may of course have been product placement but I don't recall any particular emphasis on using appliances, it always seemed to me just set dressing
