Use of Beeb in full swing in Dr Who by 1984, here from "Warriors of the Deep" episode 1, 40 years ago this month:

There was also what looked suspiciously like a DFS disc catalogue in the background in episode 4.

1986 documentary about Formula 1. It has a clip of Ross Brawn working on a Beeb of some sort to enter data from testing.

I must be the only one on here watching the Marvel TV shows, as I've just clocked a Beeb (and what looked like a Cub monitor) in season 2, episode 5 of Loki.

It has been documented here

My bet is that it's the same one that featured in Marvel's Secret Invasion, Season 1, Episode 6 which actually has Emilia Clarke's character typing on the Beeb. Also featured here

Wikipedia says Loki season 2 was filmed in the UK, as was Secret Invasion.

This might be old hat, but just take a look at the beginning of the video for "Oh L'Amour" by Erasure:

Didn't zarchos buy their kit a few years ago.

Don't think he had anything from Erasure, but he did have the kit used by Depeche Mode on their Violator tour (Master, UMI MIDI, etc.). Last I heard was that he'd lost it, so another loss to the community, never to be seen again.

An Ionic Separator, although they seem to control it via a different interface!
The dimensions make that look like a beeb monitor stand, but is it?
Maybe someone just likes beebs

[lovebug]

it looks like an old pc monitor being fed from an old pc but the keyboard looks like one of those viglen recased bbc keyboard mods but the dimensions look a bit off

I hadn't noticed it was short!
There were a couple of close-ups of the side.
