There was one shot where the camera panned slowly across the (backless!) rear of a radio whilst a broadcast was being listened to, showing a number of ostentatiously glowing valves that appeared to be approximately of the period, i.e. in size and envelope shape- I half expected someone here to identify the set!

The third programme of Andrew Marr's Darwin's Dangerous Idea series includes material on James Lovelock (of Gaia hypothesis fame), one archive shot of the latter has a BRT400 in the immediate background.
