Can anyone identify the television set in "Passport to Pimlico" 1949?

Hi Peter, here's the same set out on the street during civil disorder.
Also a Bush SUG3 radio.
The TV set has a Bush look about it but it's certainly not a TV1.

There's a stall full of 1940s radios in one scene.

Well spotted Lawrence and David!

I looked through Jon's site but missed it.

Thanks,

Peter

Rank films would use Bush

Some interesting TVs in the film Trouble In Store 1953 starring Norman Wisdom

These films are like time machines. I always keep a weather-eye on the skylines, but it's noticeable how devoid they were of Xs and Hs in those early days.

There's a Bush TV2 in the workshop. Except for the installation of a 12" CRT it is electrically identical to the TV1. The cabinet like the one used to house the TV1 and in order to accommodate the larger tube a special extension part is attached to the front of the cabinet. It looks awful. Nevertheless, Bush Radio applied for a patent for the cabinet modifications.

Edit - it was early and I need to learn how to read.... Plz ignore that garbage I have posted..

I looked on the internet and found a page about it.
The one on the net had 3 knobs on the front though, whilst there are only two in the original picture. I wonder what the middle knob did.
