Here's a small collection of big iron. First a couple of "Doctor Who" stories: there is an Elliott 405 in "Day of the Daleks" and an ICT 1301 in "The Monster of Peladon". Then there are a couple of appearances of the GE 635 that I missed the first time round in "Spaceballs" and "Get Smart, Again!".

Here are two more appearances of the ICT 1301. In "The Famous Five, Five Go to Kirren Island", professor Kirrin uses an ICT 1301 for his research, and in "Doctor Who, Revenge of the Cybermen", the Nerva Beacon also features an ICT1301 panel."

Here's a small collection of big iron. "Charly" has a couple of IBM machines: a 7094 and a System/360. There's a really hard to spot ICT 1301 panel in the "Doomwatch" episode "No Room for Error". Finally the "Blake's 7" episode "Space Fall" (for which we had already recorded an ICT 1301) also has panels from a Sperry Univac 9400 and, making its Starring-the-Computer debut, the Sperry UNIVAC 9200/9300.

Checking out the hastag #hnfpb on Mastodon that #HeinzNixdorfMuseumForum suggest you use, I find the wonderful virtual #ICT1301 #mainframe at https://ict1301.virtualcolossus.co.uk/ by @virtualcolossus.

The computer was a fully transistorised 48-bit word machine with core memory and drum backing store: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICT_1301

Here are some appearances of 1950s and 1960s computers. The short-lived series "Turn-On" had a crucial role for an IBM 1620. The "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." episode "Alien Commies from the Future!" has panels from the ever-popular IBM AN/FSQ-7. Finally, the "Doctor Who" episode "Meglos" has some old British machines: the ICT 1301 and, making its Starring-the-Computer debut, the Elliott 405.
