"Hello, John."
"Hello, Tom."
"Piss off now."
"I have just disrupted your day by video conferencing with you, only to immediately tell you that I'm putting you on hold, with a hint of brusque annoyance as if you were the one calling me in the middle of my important monologue"
Lol
Video calls were totally stupid gimmicks until they weren't. We were promised them for such a long time that, depending on your age I guess, you just reacted "yeah yeah whatever" with promotions like this. The 3G mobile standard, which is getting shut down in 2024, even had the first official call format built into EVERY phone, except of course the smartphones wanted you to use whatever app Android and iOS gave you, or that you downloaded (and, indeed, were far superior to that original standard from around 2003). 3G "video calling" went the same way as SMS and MMS except they never even took off.
@@colinr0380 to be honest that's how I feel about phone calls in general, in the age of internet communications. Everything is asynchronous unless your boss is paying you to attend, but even then, it's preplanned, preannounced, you know who's going to be there, and what the agenda is.
Pertwee and Baker are still my two fav Doctors.
Grew up in metro Boston and they started with Baker and then flipped back to Pertwee for some reason, in the mid-late 70s...
I gotta give props for the source quality on these videos. I was expecting ads this old to be full of noise. These are so clear you would have thought they were transferred from the master beta tape yesterday
Yes, the audio is excellent
Word....incredible...no degradation whatsoever....BBC...probably kept them in vacuum sealed vaults...lol...so British ; )
Well somebody did, but not the BBC. The BBC doesn't run adverts...
@@ambroseshepherd6861 no way. There’s always been promotional photos either for adverts or magazines. Maybe not tv bumpers
I was thinking that. Amazing quality
Mrs. Hudson with the 5th Doctor talking about Nescafe. Best collab ever.
And Gambit from The New Avengers too.
Aunt Sally. Mrs Hudson my arse. That series has NO redeeming qualities whatsoever. Sorry.
There was going to be an all 'Who' Nescafe ad but Tom scuppered it by loudly mentioning that he hated coffee. I DO remember a Volkswagen billboard ad with some of the Doctors staring into the back of a VW estate amazed at how big it was on the inside!
Una Stubbs. Check it on IMDB. It's her alright.
Leroy Jenkins is it possible Peter Davison was also still doing All creatures great and small at the time?
Video calling to somebody 100's of miles away? Nah, that'll never catch on.
Alexander Newton it still hasn't for the landline. Mobile devices, and desktops at best.
Thanks for doing this. I got a little emotional seeing Ian Marter and Lis Sladen.
I did a double take at the William Russell ad...
I thought I recognized them....and yes it was emotional for me as well seeing them.
I’m pretty sure the one with Lis is just deleted scenes from the K9 and Company titles.
Nope but it says a lot about the Yuppie 1980s (Thatcher era and "Morning in America") that this kind of materialism was such a mainstream obsession. Car culture peaked in Britain slightly late, and saw a long steady decline shepherded (entertainingly) by three guys and a car show. But back in those days the M25 was a great marvel and not the hellscape we joke about today.
2:41 to 3:02 is The only scene made from the unproduced Doctor Who special “The Indian Evil”.
Careful, Romana! It's the curry of a thousand trips to the loo!
Basically it should be a special episode with Patrick Troughton.
@@socialcommentary1014 😂
That Jon Pertwee the third Doctor
@Julian MacFarlane maaaybe not, it sounds little like it was going to be somewhat... _racist..._
I just saw Tom Baker as the bad guy in an old "Sinbad" movie and Patrick Troughton as a powerful wizard in another "Sinbad" movie. :)
Chris McWilliams Troughton was also a priest in the Exorcist
I remember that, is part is my favorite.
I think you're thinking of The Omen.
Yeah, you're right. I realized it right after my post. :)
Patrick Troughton was also in 'Jason and the Argonauts', which was another film from the great Ray Harryhausen.
That BT advert at the end with Tom Baker certainly predicted the 21st century because you can now do video calling on smartphones.
Yes, but the landline is basically dead. It had a good go though.
Really, I had no idea.
I'm 49...my 11 year old daughter wants me to FaceTime her...but I still just think it's wierd...her voice paints the picture of her face in my mind as I should imagine mine would too...had a Skype meeting with my band once...yep...still wierd...lol...can't get used to it I'm afraid...even if my hero Tom Baker was endorsing it all those years ago...lol
@@smakdoubt look up the Muppets covering Bohemian Raposy. A very unproductive teleconference call as Kermit put it.
@@gorillaau I think I vaguely remember it.
Definately share Kermit's perspective on that track. It's an audiosonic and lyrical anxiety wave for me and I simply cannot handle it. Regardless of it's musical genius and groundbreaking studio engineering. I miss The Muppets just the same though mate.
3:29 "It's Mrs. Hudson!"
Another winner! Thanks for putting those together.
Sad to see those no longer with us, but a great trip down memory lane...
it was interesting seeing Jon Pertwee in that commercial :)
Brilliant selection! Thank you!
Haven't seen any of these before. Thanks for sharing!
Wow those were some good ones - never saw any of those before. John Leeson, Ian Marter, William Russell !!!! Wow!
So Tom Baker invented FaceTime ? >.>
Do pardon me for being rude but I simply must interject, you see a spokes person and an inventor are slightly different things.
Facetime is like the last in a vast array of video call systems. Even ISDN videophones predate facetime...
Nobody gets jokes these days, I actually laughed at this comment
amstrad79b - True, but Facetime was the first commercially successful implementation of video calling.
No the 4th Doctor invented Facetime and traveled spacetime.
So many memories. I really miss Lis.
0:00 Probably the coolest tv commercial I ever seen. Just seeing how seamless it looked when he jumped between televisions. So simple yet so cool.
0:49 Nice to know Harry Sullivan is living a life of peace.
2:02 If I'm not mistaken that's Sarah Jane.
2:11 Nostalgia Critic should look at this one.
2:51 Holy shit it's the 3rd Doctor
3:13 I don't know why but seeing the 5th Doctor go all Sherlock over a jar of coffee just seems so him.
3:48 I'm starting to think these ads are all about what the companions and the Doctor's regenerations do when they're on vacation.
The fifth Doctor would be going all 'Campion'...
Shanethefilmmaker Maybe this is what the doctors regenerations do after going to Trenzalore, working on advertisements 😂
Like all the Hollywood stars who went to Japan to do adverts, hoping they would never be seen by their domestic audiences!
as someone non british, i was quite surprised when halfway through this video i was called multiple slurs
"All these sets have two things in common Yesterday day's Technology and the Phillip's name"
Let's not leave anyone out.Gareth Hunt from New Avengers in the Nescafe ad
And he was Arak in 'Planet of the Spiders'.
And also the originator of the best cockney rhyming slang term, at least until that politician called Jeremy stole the title from him!
I assumed this was one actual ad break until I read the description >_
2:57 if you could deep freeze it, I’d take a few plates. This way forward. HoW DeEP dO yoU WaNT It FroZEn
That commercial would be considered racist now and not be shown.
@@sovietonion72 it would be, but it's still funny as hell
A bit disappointed John Leeson didn’t use the K9 voice for the Philips commercial😔
Very impressive collection.
Weren't they driving that RHD Sterling on the right (wrong) side of the road, though? :-)
A view phone? Looks like a better idea than Skype.
I don't believe that telephone call was real as the person on the other end still had all of their clothes on.
I like the Rover 800 ad with Elisabeth Sladen❤
That car advert was pretty good.
Oh wow, 70's and 80's memories, and I'm American. Prices. Fashions. What people considered normal or acceptable. What was supposed to be so new and high-tech back then. Oh my....
Goodness gracious me.
Great ads 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 I wonder if there be a 3rd set of ads? 😊 😊 😊 😊
i read Ian Marter books
Well. Wasn't prepared for the gameshow commercial lmfao.
Brilliant
anybody ever sit down and wonder what Aspen to the videophone"?I forget exactly what year but somewheres between 1988 and 1994 there was actually a videophone you purchase and use but obviously the trick required either party to have one I don't think they sold more than a few thousand in the US and for whatever reason to this day it never caught on I suppose people consider on line cam too cam to be the same thing so I guess that's why it never really transferred through to the telephone.
If you're lying to your boss/spouse you don't really want them to see your face...
One of the reasons was it was very choppy. The frames did not update very often, I think there was less than one frame a second. They were also expensive.
what I remember seeing of it didn't look to bed but obviously the technology would have been expensive given when they tried to launch it. Almost nobody realizes the Apple iPad is way older than they think as an example it actually dates back to the days of Windows 3.1 and is rebranding of some very old technology that back in the 90s was very expensive and never caught on.the i pod is actually when you break it down a Nintendo Game Boy lol. the i pad started of as a digital assistant notepad like device they were crazy expensive and people didn't see the point because it seemed like an overly expansive laptop copout. There's been a few pieces of abandoned technology over the years that eventually got rebranded and reused;). I guess in this day and age nobody cares about the videophone. It's the same as the amount of interest there is in the vR and yet it's still having trouble getting a actual foothold
Third Doctor Sharwood's advert, Fifth Doctor - nescafe advert, fourth doctor - BT advert
The video telephone! :D
That view-phone went a long way...
Sadly Ian Marter died the year after his advertisement on his 42nd birthday 😢🎩
3:24 wait ms Hudson from Sherlock?
3:14 is Mrs. Hudson!!!!!
Anyone else notice the actor who played Harry sullivan from Dr who in the British gas advert at 1:00
errr ...
Yeah, I KNEW he looked familiar.
what TV show was he in again?
i did.
I thought it was the kid that was inside K9!
Wow!
Who's the kid in the second advert? He was well known for a time.
great to see this!! but, whatever happened to bt's view phone?? did it ever become a reality??
It's out next year I believe.
My computer screen is 24", how times change
Screen have bigger and smaller (mobile phones) at the same time.
Is that John Bluthal in the Sharwoods ad with Jon Pertwee, all browned up?
wasn't that Elisabeth in the car commercial? (views a bit and sees it's a compilation of Doctor Who Actors, Thanks for that!)
David Stevens ...yes that was Liz Sladen. :)
@@R.M.MacFru That's what I thought. Is that Elisabeth, also, in the Nescafe commercial, or was that Melanie Bush?
Whatever happened to our TV phones anyway?
2:12 2:40 don’t tell Gen Z, they will cancel this too
in fairness that word (Not using it incase YT delete this comment) is now more known as a slur than an Item of food. So I don't blame anyone one gets mistaken by it.
Was that a young Claire Skinner in the ad with William Russell?
Huuuuuuuuhhh.... I'm glad it's 2018...
is Will Russel doing the hosting for that ad or is he the guy at the end of the ad with the woman? Cause I more so think the one who's hosting is McCoy.
bmhedgehog2 he's the one presenting
Only one I can't figure out is the food show advert? Who r the actors
William Russell
Is that John Bluthal in brownface?
Hilarious that Liz Sladen never learned to drive...😅😂😆
The fifth doctor is ginger! His wishes have finally been granted!
Panasonic do a TV with a headphone socket too!!!
My family had a late-70s Mitsubishi TV that had a headphone jack.
Did the Panasonic comes with headphones?
3:27 is that Peter Davidson who played the fifth Doctor
Yes
My favourite is patric and Peter
Wear did they get those Averts from....
Check out the channel's other videos!
Why not do all the Doctors in voice over adds... ? Patrick did the famous Government Information film.. Polish a Floor and put a rug on it.. Jon did the Heinz Noddle Doddle Song and ad Tom did the Austin Allegro LE Special for a limited few unlimited value...
Noodle Doodle surely - I remember Record Collector's Bicker Man column calling them something along the lines of Alphabeti Spaghetti for illiterates & attacking the song.
I didn't see The Second Doctor.
I will fight to make all of these canon
The Tom Baker One's Interesting
Interesting but what a shame they haven't been upscaled to HD first to help us avoid the annoying youtube re-encoding.
Sorry but The TV Museum is an archive so unsurprisingly we like our recordings in the original format. The fact that UA-cam re-encodes is unfortunate but since they're all taken from domestic recordings and all ads are shot on film, you're not losing any interlace structure and there's not a huge quality dip. It could be worse ... we don't put DOGs on the screen after all.
I understand but at least if you upscale them first youtube doesn't re-encode the HD versions. Yes, the upscaling won't improve anything but at least it helps you bypass their re-encoding of non-HD material.
We understand that. But it takes time and we're busy. We have 752 videos up on YT. If we took the time to upscale every one, there would probably only be 250.
Jeees Arthur get a life
💙🔥💙
Was that 3rd Doctor at 2:45?
BlueSoulJim indeed
Yes
Oh those tarts, mind you Tom working for BT - Poor bugger. 😂😂👍🏻
and ironically I live near the BT Martlesham place mentioned by Tom Baker...
3:53 WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?! XD
I wish Tom Baker will come to the Philippines for Toy Con 2019 next year
I assume the food company in the 4th ad has either gone out of business or changed it name by now.
What the heck is a shirt lifter?
whatever.
I am willing to bet if you ran an ad like Sharwoods Curry now you would be triggering lawsuits within 24 hours!
It kind of works to set up expectations of the product though - faux Indian advertising faux-British-made curry
John Bluthal, playing the Indian, was born in Poland. Isn't it racist to pretend a Polish actor can't portray a different nationality?
Mrs Hudson and the doctor 😂
StormMedia 17 Early Wholock! 😁
Mrs hudson worked with jon pertwee (the third doctor) as well as aunt sally in Worzel Gummidge
You know that the fourth one had to come from the 1970s because calling that food that now is a big no-no. It even makes me cringe.
Oh and were Elisabeth Sladen or Tom Baker or Peter Davison in Doctor Who when their commercials came out.
You can still get Brain's Faggots. It's just a meatball made of offal and they're delicious.
@Liam Unruly Don't be pointless. This is neither the time nor the place to discuss vegan philosophy. However, I will say I don't appreciate being called a murderer just because I eat different things than you. That's like me calling you a carrot assassin. It's just silly.
@Liam Unruly I will eventually die, that's true. I plan to be cremated when that happens, so I'm not sure who or what I'll be eaten by; microbes, probably. Unless of course you're threatening to kill and eat me, which would be a peculiar twist - a cannibalistic vegan.
@Liam Unruly Seeing as how karma is a man-made construct with no basis of fact behind it, I struggle to see your point. If you're on some kind of religious bent then please be aware that I don't share your beliefs, so your threat is utterly meaningless to me. Having said that, I hope you have a nice Christmas and a joyous new year.
3:42 3:58
There's nothing like a white man pretending to be stereotype Indian to remind one of the 1970s.
I know Pertwee should really stop mocking that poor Indian actor working with him.
3...........2.............1.
Robert Payne I'm pretty certain that's the actor who played the lead Indian character in 'It Ain't Harf Hot, Mum'. He was born and raised in India, knew the people well and was fluent in Urdu. His portrayals were based in reality and the mannerisms were recognised as familiar by Indian immigrants to the UK.
An actual Indian actor would have been better, but he was well known for playing the role of long-suffering Indian dealing with English men, so would be familiar to audiences, which advertisers want.
Yep. Good thing this changed
No, that was Michael Bates. This was John Bluthal who did the 'Q' series with Spike Milligan amongst other things. Spike also played the odd Indian as his father was stationed there & he grew-up with the voice in his ears. He did a whole series 'browned-up'-'Curry and Chips'. This sort of thing is a relic from a past age and sensibility now...
The Simpsons have been doing it for 30 years.
Am i the only one who thinks the guy at 2:41 - 3:04 looks like Sylvester McCoy in blackface? But thats just me.
It's not.
It's some other guy in blackface.
@@Quirderph I dunno. Still looks like him.
'TV set for the future' um, fraid not. Not very far future anyway.
But one even comes with a headphone jack! *A headphone jack* !!
most of these adverts will be rejected by todays politicaly correct standards
because of fears for being stereotyped and the use of the word faggotts
in which can be deemed as offensive in many other countries and faiths.
Very interesting. I didn't recognize the 1st two, but then I read the description. Still didn't recognized Ian Martin but I heard John Leeson and recognized K9 :)
I rewatched the 4th commercial, William Hartnell's, 2x and barely recognized him without the white hair and only seeing him from the one side. Also, the food is very unfortunately named. I know it's probably a British term but, good lord, it ain't gonna get sold in the US with that name.
The others I recognized quickly. All I can say, I'm a little disappointed the 3rd Doctor didn't have those sideburns :D
That was William Russell (Ian Chesterton), not William Hartnell.
I remember a kids TV show having a good save with that though. Person rang into the show (it was live question & answer kinda show) anyway they said to the lead singer of a band "You look like a Faggot". Band member quickly replied back "I do not look like mincemeat!". Caller was obviously quickly disconnected and because of that quick reaction the host of the show didn't have to apologise - Kids at home hopefully wouldn't have known the other meaning of term.
In the Terry Pratchett/Neil Gaiman book 'Good Omens' (Currently being made with David Tennant) one of the last of the order of the Witch-Finders has crashed a US Army base and shows them his official papers, What's this," asks the security guard, "...why do we have to provide you with faggots?" "We burn them." "RIGHT ON!" Don't know if that will be in the TV version...
All the fans clamouring for Wholock? It's happened already!
The Third Beast Mrs. Hudson with the fifth doctor
Wtf am I watching?
Dolphins bellybutton hazel barthrs orange Speedo
Jesus, that korma looked like shit.
Yeah, I was thinking it looked like bad dog food.
Yep was even the wrong shade of shit for a bad korma.
Anyone else think young Peter Davison looks like Christopher Eccleston with better hair? Eerie.
Those deep-set eyes. I always think Milton Jones looks like a satanic Peter Davison.
That Pertwee ad was fun. But was it also slightly racist?
No.
No
Yes, most television of that time was casually racist.
In which case you please explain to me what specifically about it you deemed to be racist?
I was more astounded how his outfit looked very like a dr who outfit
When England was still England.
England is still England mate, by all means reminisce about the past and express your memories and fondness but don't get hung up on 'anti woke' nostalgic clap trap that never existed
You sound like a freshman.@@nialldavidson197
IM British Indian born here trust me it wasn’t so nice in the early 80s as we found out on school trips to outside London
@@amandeepv What was wrong with England outside of London back then?
What does that even mean?
Gosh, cars were so ugly back then!
They were bigger on the inside though.
