3:30 - Crikey... well that's something...
Probably one of my favourite compilations for a while Neil - I shouldn't be able to remember some of these, but can only imagine some of these campaigns lingered for couple of years. That chest wig Panama Cigar ad -how could I possibly remember that? Or the scary Harvest Crunch squirrels? But I do.

I was only 6 but I do remember the wedding. People had bunting out. We had roast chicken for dinner and the watched the wedding whilst digging in to our tin of royal wedding toffees. I’ll always render seeing the Prince and Princess of Wales on the balcony and then turning to my mum and asking her “if She ( Princess Di)was a real princess now?❤ Such a crying shame that things didn’t work out differently between them 😢

The ATV Midlands region advert breaks from that Pink Panther film from July 1981 were on the MHP, and so it's interesting to see these on here. Two adverts on here were shown in both areas: the Schweppes Bitter Lemon and the Findus French Bread Pizza one. The Pomagne advert was advertised in both regions, but this one was a shorter ten second version of the 30 second advert which was shown on ATV that evening - the only advert to give a nod to the then Prince Charles and the Princess to be, Diana. I am certain that when William married Catherine in 2011, there were a lot more Royal Wedding-related adverts around that time, not counting the sales adverts of course.

Not seen most of these ads before! I remember our teacher at school waffling on about the royal wedding till everyone was bored senseless though!!!!

Strange to know that on this night, Lady Diana as she was, was having a dreadful night in Clarence House. Charles had told her he didn't love her, and she really wanted to call the wedding off, but couldn't.

"Will the wooden palace burn down successfully?"
Eh? Why did they want it to burn at all?
