It is getting near that time of year again where we see the furniture sites buy up some precious TV air time to advetise their wares.

In the not too-distant-future don’t be suprised to find yourself sitting on your favourite chair in the house that arches over your head to reveal a Hi-Definition touch screen where you’ll be downloading the film you wanted to hire for the night and chatting to your buddies on Twitter as you all watch live streaming of the game that is being played just now.

Here, we highlight some great TV shows where the furniture became conversation makers. It is also interesting to highlight the way British and American producers used furniture to add an extra dimension to the TV characters they produced.
