    Re: B&O Spotted In Movies/TV

    I recall seeing several threads over the years about Bang & Olufsen products in movies and on TV.

    I have never seen a thread about Bang & Olufsen featuring in the written word. I have nearly finished reading Stephen Frys "the fry chronicles". In it he memtions his flat mate at Cambridge and how much he enjoyed his Bang & Olufsen record player.

    Re: B&O Spotted In Movies/TV

    Also, back in the day before flat panel TVs a lot of movies (Total Recall, Robocop to name two) used Proton TVs. I think it was because they had fairly modern plain black cabinets, looked high quality compared to the plastic cabinets of most mass market gear, and also since they were a niche brand not easily identifiable. Don't want to give out any product placement screen time unless it's paid for.

    Re: B&O Spotted In Movies/TV

    And don't forget the movie, "Sliver" back in 1993. William Baldwin's apartment was loaded with B&O, including an MX television and some Penta speakers.

    Re: B&O Spotted In Movies/TV

    Pirates Of Silicon Valley, older made for TV movie in the US about the early days of Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. In several scenes in Jobs office at Apple he has one of the B&O all in one systems with turntable, radio tuner, and cassette deck. Can't recall which one though. Interesting movie though.

    Re: B&O Spotted In Movies/TV

    Long time since I watched Sliver; kind of remember that I liked the movie when I saw it 1993; but doubt that I would enjoy it as much today as I did then. But, here is a screen shoot from the movie:

    Slivers (1993)

    Re: B&O Spotted In Movies/TV

    Sean Pertwee uses a BeoCom 6000 in the film Love, Honour & Obey. There is a 9000 and Lab 8's in How to lose a guy in 10 days. There is a BeoSystem 2500 in the girls apartment in Friends. I was featured in Risking it all shown on Channel 4 about 8 years ago when I managed the showroom in Southampton! This is really good info as we are compiling a list for an instore quiz shortly for invited guests!

    It's funny how B&O even pops up in cartoons. Last year I spotted Dale Gribble from King of the Hill pick up a ringing (cartoon-ized) BeoCom 6000!! LaughingLaughingLaughing

    Well, I just saw a white Beolab 5 in a UK TV advert.....for a discount sofa brand, Harveys.

    Surprise

    So the lady pictured had apparently paid £349 for a huge sofa, and £13,000 for the speakers sitting next to it.SurpriseStick out tongueStick out tongue

    Well, if you're on a limited budget, that's the sane choice! Laughing

    Re: B&O Spotted In Movies/TV

    There's a BS9000 and BL4000's at my local mcdonalds on collins and spring.  Very funny but true.  They're not even using the BS9000 as a cd player only as a radio.

     

    They should give it to me.
