Title: Midsomer Macs
Post by: kimmer on March 16, 2020, 09:29:51 PM
I just watched the first ep of Season 21 of Midsomer Murders and was happy to see loads of iMacs all over the place. :)

I not sure where I am with watching this; wherever season Netflix or Acorn allows me I suppose.  My question is do they show the Apple or do they paste a grey circle over it?  I see a lot of Apples out there with the grey circle over the Apple!

The grey circle 'trick' usually means they are not being paid by Apple to display the devices. Of course, if it is an iPhone, Apple forbids (https://www.macrumors.com/2020/02/26/rian-johnson-apple-bad-guys-no-iphones/) their use by any criminal (evil) person in the story.

Believe you have to watch the more current seasons through BritBox, but not sure.
To answer your question: the Apple is clearly showing, no stickers. :)  Also, the desktop and folders, etc are definitely Apple, not fake CGI something else.

I'm thinking of abandoning Acorn for Britbox which "may" be available through Amazon Prime which my son subscribes to now.

Britbox is available as a subscription through Amazon Prime; that's how I watch it.
