You all know how I dislike Henry Cole (Whispers Muppet) but Alan Millyard was using an Induction heater the last 2 episodes to bend metal. It seemed to work very well but typical of Cole, no mention of what make it is or where to buy it, doesn't he realise that saying stuff like that can get him free stuff from the manufacturers for the endorsement?
I'm thinking it looks like a Sealey but I can't spot it on their website, it may be that they positioned it backwards as all you could see was the On/Off toggle switch, I think it may be the Sealey VS230. Anyone know for certain?

I think the Show Makers would want some payment from the manufacturers for product placement - no pay - no brand appearance .

I hate those programmes where they use software to blank out pictures / logos.
In Escape to the Country, faces on pictures are always blurred. Lots of the U.S. car programmes blur logos - presumably because they aren't getting their pound of flesh from the manufacturer, but clearly they haven't asked..it's just a blanket ' blue any logo' software. It's all a little sad.

I agree, it's distracting at times and pointless.
