Grandads Colour Tellys
Not sure about the one to Grandads left but from the curved front, I think the one on the right looks like a 22" Ferguson Colourstar, but it could be a 9600 (3734) or 9800 (3749) series.

I will accept your choices, much more experience of Thorn sets than I have. I don’t recognise either.

I've mentioned before about the concave fronted Ferguson which has appeared in a number of episodes of Fools & Horses. It's not clear in that shot but if it's the same one it has 12 touchbuttons in two rows of 6 and 6 sliders also carry slots cut into the side of the cabinet. It has also appeared on Tommorow's World and other BBC current affairs style programmes, not sure of the chassis but would bet a 9600 series with isolation.
The HMV 1500 mono on the left is stood on top of what appears to be the same model with the back remove, note the orientation of the tuner.
Here's another three of Grandad's sets, a similar HMV mono, a Bush CTV1120 but badged Rank Radio International and what I suspect may be a Pye G11.

Ooo, I'd not seen that before, I've got one of those in my collection.
I'm hoping to get the bow tie stand (see below) made by a motorbike exhaust company, when lockdown ends, if it ever does. I got the entire Fools box set for Xmas, I've forgotten so many episodes, so its nice rediscovering the series.

I remember in Cash & Curry they sell one set to raise money for a deal, only to remember later on Grandad was renting it!
My Dad used to like the episode where Grandad was wondering why he couldn't watch The Dukes Of Hazard on the new TV, only for Del to show it was actually a microwave!
In another episode Grandad takes a portable TV along when they have to paint the kitchen of a Chinese restaurant.
There are a few other televisual moments in the show but I won't bore you with them all!
No absolutely sure but I believe the stand is the Rank S800 or S850.
Some RRI products were marketed as Rank-Arena.

One of my former colleagues used to refer to the microwave oven in our maintenance room as "the food telly".
I remember at the Golbourne event in November 2019 some boys used to flatscreens were calling the older sets on display microwaves!
Looks similar to Grandads telly, CGI demo from Tomorrows World.

As spotted in The Young Ones! The distinctive carrying handles give it away. I'm guessing it's a monitor of some sort with a scanning rate that won't interfere with the camera's scan rate.

It was an ordinary PAL telly fed from a source synchronised to the cameras.
