Washing on TV

Since there is so much talk of Brit shows...

This might be the ideal time to mention something I noticed on Coronation Street... A Very American-looking TL in the breakroom area at the Underworld knickers factory. Anyone else ever notice/mention this?

I have noticed what looks to be a an American Maytag machine in the factory on Coronation Street. Kinda cool because if memory serves it was in a Harvest Gold colour.

Brookside (again)

Here's an interesting clip from Brookside, in each part of an episode you can see the Zanussi Quick'n'Clean in Sammy & Katie's flat in action, going through the wash and spin phases.

Wash - - 10.04 in.

Spin - - 1.11 in, keep listening for t ramping up after the camera zooms in on the phone.

Also, someone mentioned the Contrarotator. It belonged to the Gordon family at number 5, I haven't seen a really clear shot yet, so will post when I see it. It looks like a CR02.

Ron sets up a mini laundry business in his kitchen, so in addition to his FL1033 he has a Hotpoint WM11, Indesit Ecosense & Hoover Logic and Softwave dryers.

Yep

It was the Gordon family on Brookside that owned the Dyson CR02. They also owned a Dyson DC05 vacuum.

Here's a shot of it.

Washing on TV

Hi all, I am finally back on AW.org again (please see the thread 'The returns after an 'eventful' 2 years to see the reason for my absence).

I'm sure most of you will remember the classic show 'Bernard's Watch' from 1997-2001 about the boy (Bernard Beasley) who can stop time with a magical watch, well I actually noticed a couple of classic machines in that show.

However if you happen to know what the correct washer type is, please do feel free to correct me.

Bernard's Grandad's neighbour, Mrs. Monk owns what looks like a Hoover Quattro 1100 AS110 (also owned by AW.org member 'optima').

Unknown Hoover A3/A8 Series.

Now this one I need a little help on (as the video quality is quite bad on YouTube).

The Vernon's own what looks like a Hoover Logic 1200/1300 A3636 or A3786, however it could be an A8 Series washer/dryer or indeed an Electron series. I cannot make out if there is a thumb-slider or timer-knob on this machine, but I am hoping the sort of 'Sandstone' colour may give it away.

Samantha 'Sam' Vernon with the unidentified Hoover.
Also a Hotpoint Dishwasher, presumably a 7841 or so in the back.

Link to the episode 'A Worrying Time' where it can be found.

Thank you, I hope you like my contributions,

Brandon.

Stuart little

Hi liamy1' I believe the FL in Stuart Little is a modified GE/Kenmore/Frigidaire front loader nicknamed as the 'Frigemore'. It's what I think it is but I may be wrong.
