Pretty nifty! What I think is really nifty is that on the TV Show Roaseanne, she uses a Frigidaire 1-18 in Harvest gold! There is even a few episodes where you see the up and down action! |

Yep, I remember that too. You also used to hear the toploaders on older Neighbours episodes a lot, and of course you can't forget the launderette in EastEnders. Jon |

All the washing machines where the new 919 & 929 modular models, all of the fridges and cookers where Zanussi as well....It was a rival Zanussi distributor who came through with the deal..talk about great advertising.... Dont remember the dyson though?? But, I am old enough to remember Annie Sugdens Indesit L6 front loader...LOL Mike |

I also remember a screen play/comedy set in the 70s early 80s where couples spent Christmases in each other's houses. The scenes were set in peoples kitchens. I remember a scene with Maureen Lipman going over what a washing machine was to an old fashioned couple. It was a Hoover 800 with a round door and Prunella Scales (the old fashioned one) asked if the machine ironed the clothes, due to the minimum iron program. I also remember a Phillips (I think) in Fresh Fields and the recent Doctor Who shows Jackie filling an old Bendix with washing. Must date from the mid 80s at least. Rob |

Hi....did Rosanne Connor have a set of Maytags? I seem to remember Jackie loading the Maytag Washer. Also, the series Charmed and That 70's show had Maytags. |

And I guess we can only wonder what kind of machine Tanya Turner had. Either a Miele, or a silver Indesit :-). |

in the house Max had the washer was a grey jet system like Gail Platts in coro. Funnily enough while Max was resident there was always the same box of Ark (remember that one?) or Ecover (cant remember which brand but it was ecological powder it may have been but i dont think it was, possibly Down to Earth, another old powder) down the side of the machine. When Max moved out the new residents got the machine in the house but they switched to Persil Performance. Nick

Who remembers the laundry room in Prisoner Cell Block H? Doreen and Mighty Mouse loading that massive washer and using surf. They only ever had small boxes of surf for some reason. For an industrial laundry no big containers of anything which like the sets seemed pretty shaky lol. Judy Bryant on the 2 Huebsch dryers. Queen Bea Smith behind her big steam press jamming it down on drug dealerSharon Gilmors fingers! Great programme shame it only ran for 613 episodes. Nick

Nora Batty is the well know name for Kathy Staff the actress who plays Nora in LOTSW. no matter what new character name she is given in any programme everybody here refers to her as that. Its an affectionate brit thing. Her name in crossroads was Dorris which i guess was in keeping with the Nora theme

and his wife margaret had a SERVIS quartz 600 the first type when the show 1st started. Then they had a 1988 brown white hotpoint. Then at the end they had a zamussi turbodry washer dryer. Sadly no machines in action though. I remember a film on tv once called BOB AND SUE or something which showed a brown white hotpoint going into distribute and spin with the real noises! . It was an odd scene as the camera was pointed directly at the washer door and thats all the shot was.

Annie Sugden at Emmerdale Farm had a very old Indesit FL with a super fast 380 rpm. Her son Jack later had a Hotpoint TL which I coveted for years! |

It's a bit late to add to this thread, but I was watching the 1997 Christmas Special, 'Endgame' of One Foot in the Grave, I noticed the washing machine was a Bosch WFB2000. As far as I am aware, there is no other appearance of this machine in any other episodes, as after this episode it was replaced with a Zanussi TurboDry or Quick'n'Clean.

Although mentioned several times on here, BBC sitcom 2point4 children had plenty of washing machine's.
Here is the episode in which Rona was supposed to get married, she ends up dangling from the ceiling in her wedding dress, and her Hotpoint 95** is on view, this later turned into a Hotpoint dryer.. |

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. |

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... -- Dave |

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.

I found a Hotpoint in some maps in a computer game called GMod. They should be something like a WT960, if I remember correctly. |

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 |

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. |

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

Thank you for clearing that up, Chris, wasn't aware that Zanussi did them :) This is the fridge that Edina had in the final series before Ab Fab ran in 2011 and 2012 |

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. |

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').

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.
