They were talking about B&O on Top gear... you can get it on BBC iPlayer.

Again the presenter said it was philips in a pretty box :-(

To be fair to Clarkson he was creaming over B&O later in the segment. Wonder what he has??

Thats because JC doesnt really know what he is talking about..

It now has minimal Philips.. more Samsung...lol

But of course, JC has an extensive collection of B&O in his residence.

He used to have a Serene phone - he now has an iPhone...

I'm not sure if Clarkson loving B&O kit is a bonus to the brand or not !

Well.. if you really generalise and say B&O is a 'bloke thing' - then really generalise and say cars are a 'bloke thing' - the 19 million viewers worldwide watching would indicate to me that it was a strikingly good bit of publicity for B&O !!

Lee

19 million ?

more like 350 million !!!

it's the top watched tv show in the world i was told

bno must be over the moon !!!!

Clarkson actually mentioned 19 million people when he was talking about which marque have made the most 'great cars'.

A disparaging remark about an Avant?!?! This could be a BeoWorld first!

Actually the tubes in later years were made by Goldstar who took over the factory from Philips. Even worse ! Just shows that one should judge on the set itself rather than its component parts. On SD broadcasts, the Avant still has the best picture I have seen.

Peter, I saw Clarkson using his serene on Top Gear when they were doing the cool wall. Can't remember which episode though.

I am not disputing the avant was the best tv (that is why i bought one),even though was expensive at the time but worth every penny imho,merely stating the avant re badged phillips ,like bv7 is samsung etc

I think there's more to it than that. All the electronics/speakers/etc are B&O. Just the tube is from Philips, which is why you can still buy them out of the box. The B&O content of the Avant is quite high, is it not?

Well it depends what you mean. B&O stopped making components and wiring and speakers some time ago. They still make some of the boards but more and more are outsourced. They design the electronic circuits though which is I am sure what you mean. No criticism intended Ed. I love my Avant too!

On the Serene, JC used it to call Kristen Scott Thomas but that was some time ago. All three of them had iPhones in the latest series.

i think the new bno is gonna be very safe from what i can see

no more silly phones , mp3 players or any of that stuff

just concentrating on their core values that have seen them through over 70 years

imo the future is bright for bno :)

Over 300 million watch Top Gear, worldwide. 19 million people might have watched that particular show - other transmissions are delayed (much like Heroes in the UK).

Hmmm, Jeremy and I, kindred spirits!

What about the silly alarm clock where the time is not visible at night???

I hope this isn't an indication of products to come!

I like the silly alarm clock! I hope mine arrives this week!
