    The Nimble advert brings back lovely memories of the 1967-70 period when TV adverts were original and nice to hear. Hard to think such a iconic singer like Dusty Springfield would advertise bread, and mention a pre war job as a knocker up.
    Think the 60s were a marvellous time to grow up. Everything seemed to work, and stress at work unheard of, and money, what there was pay day, seemed to go further than post decimal in 1971.

Network DVD, who release a lot of archive TV comedy and drama from the vaults of ITV which include Thames, LWT, Granada, etc mainly catering to a niche market, even keep the original 'END Of PART' break bumpers in, sometimes called adcaps.

    These ads bring back such intense memories, thank you Tim. I sang many of the TV ads during the late 70's and 80's. I also remember the Shredded Wheat female vocal, very iconic. JWT gave me agreat living. Does anyone remember 3 ads... First, the Carling Black Label song, Secondly, the original Toblerone ad, and of course the iconic Bacharach "Martini" - not the US version, but the UK one. Aaah, memories! Best, Simon

    Your dad invented the Mr Kipling tagline? It's incredible to think it's still going all this time later. Golden! And just think, even the Nimble Balloon has gone into our cultural history. Think of Wallace & Gromit's Piella Bakewell out of 'A matter of loaf and death'!
