There was a thread on this somewhere but I cannot find it. Products vary from a Beocenter 2200 in a Kylie Minogue video to an Ouverture in a version of the Simpsons!

In many episodes of Friends, you can see an Ouverture/Lab2500 system at the back of the apartment. Then in a plot line where Monica was dating a business mogul, his office was very well furnished with Bang & Olufsen, including BeoSound9000.

Apologies if this duplicates any posts in the thread that Peter mentioned. I didn't see that thread. I get lots of stick from the family if we are watching a programme/movie and I spot Bang & Olufsen products.

The "I should be so lucky" video by Kylie also featured a pair Penta speakers as well as the BeoCentre2200 Peter.

The store in Liverpool, loaned BeoSound9000, Lab8000's, Beo4 and BeoCom2 to the production company who make Hollyoaks for Channel4.  The BeoCom2 ring tone was recorded by their sound engineers and featured in the plot line of last Christmas' special which was filmed at Knowsley Hall on Merseyside.

Here's an old thread, which almost immediately refers to an older thread 😂

I often shreak at the tv when I spot B&O products! Did anyone spot a few in the apprentice?

I'm sorry.  I didn't mean to BORE any of you with this thread.  Just trying to contribute SOMEthing.

But isn't it funny that when a movie or TV show wants to portray an air of class, style or taste, they throw in some kind of Bang & Olufsen product?

And thanks for the link to the old thread.  Should have guessed this topic was done before.  I have DVDs of a few of the films mentioned, and will keep a sharper eye.

We should do as good a job as this.

1.  In that movie(title forgotten) where Brendan Fraser is locked in a '60's bomb shelter for 40 years, he winds up in the house Alicia Silverstone stays at which shows a pair of Beolab 6000 speakers.  They don't show and system they might be hooked up to.

 

"Blast from the Past" - was in fact BL8000 with a BS9000 laying flat on a bench... i saw this film a couple of months ago, and remember the scene of him putting his ear up to the speakers being fascinated by the advance in technology since he'd been in the bomb shelter.

I too suffer from blurting out as soon as i spot anything B&O on TV/movies... nobody seems to get it, which is a right shame - i'm sure you can all relate to that feeling!! :( I just appear to be a bit of an obsessive haha! Oh well don't care, i love B&O :)

In the series "Smallville" there's a lot of B&O. I've seen: BeoSound Ouverture, BS 4, BS 9000, Beolab 1, BL 8000 + some BeoCom's.

The 4500 system in "Christmas Vacation" is luckily not destroyed in real life. I've watched it on DVD and set it on "still" after the System blows up. I can tell you that the debris is not from a 4500 system. It's just some mirror-splinters, plastic pieces and some electronic parts (looks like a piece of a PC-motherboard). As we all know the top of the 4500 system is aluminum-plates, and they will not splinter like a mirror.

I'll have to watch more "Smallville".

I'm relieved to hear no "real" Beocenter is destroyed in "Christmas Vacation".  I organize my movies by genre and alphabetically,  so now I can take that one out of "Horror", and back in "Holiday".
