Here I am in 2023, enjoying fast food that was delivered to my door using an app. From the UK now living the life by the ocean in Morocco.... While watching tv ads from the 1980s on the internet. Let me tell you, life's perfect when you get the right mix of the 1980s and the 2020s
If commercial tv channels showed their ads occasionally in batches like this, for example before and after a movie, instead of interrupting a film every 5 mins, I’m sure viewers would actually pay more attention to the ads AND enjoy the programmes all the more!
I know this has nothing to do with this video, but it's regarding The Hitman and Her from 2 years ago that I've recently watched from your channel. My sister in law Andrea was one of Clive's dancers, and she partnered Derek (he has long curly hair). Both are from the Wirral. Andrea danced with Clive for a few years and absolutely loved it,I used to make some of her costumes, although I didn't use much material. Happy memories of staying up late trying to spot her on stage. Thank you for sharing.
That's really nice to hear from you about that! There are quite a few full episodes of Hitman and Her uploaded to UA-cam. Might be able to spot her in some of those.
Thanks for asking, i do steve, its rum n, coke. Spiced rum is best, but I will make do with the clear if I must. Dont get too squiffy. Thanks for your posts.
Spiced sounds like it could be a nice Christmassy drink. I won't be getting squiffy in the run-up to Christmas as I'm currently dosed-up on paracetamol - the wife and I just tested positive for COVID (first time for us, surprisingly). Fingers crossed we're clear in time to meet up with family by next weekend. 🤞🏼
"I wouldn't give a Castlemain XXXX" for the adverts made today compared to the adverts made back in the 70's. Is it just me looking through rose tinted glasses or were they seemingly made with more warmth, humour & content than they are nowadays?
Sorry to hear that Steve, hope you get well soon in time for the festivities. Never had the dreaded covid, despite my wife, my daughter, and her boyfriend being laid low for a while with it. Oh and btw, the drink rum n, coke, I call it Pure nectar.
I love Police Squad and the Naked Gun but I had entirely forgotten about the Rolling Rock adverts, I should be ashamed. As should the writer of the Hank Marvin/Shadows joke 😛 (A terrible but brilliant talent worthy of the Zucker Bros. themselves.)
Ta! And you too! 🍻 I don't often drink beer but I have a few Kronenbourg 1664's in this year. Ordinarily I like to mix whiskey with Cherry Pepsi Max. Tastes great and you can tailor the strength to how drunk you feel like getting. 🤣 Do you have a favourite?
Beer 🍺 ads on tv, along with the cigar and pipe tobacco ads I used to love, sadly missed, loved the Red rock cider ad with Leslie Nielson .
It's not red, and it doesn't have any rocks in it.
Tennent's Extra (original)👍 My Lager of choice back in the 80's/ 90's.
2:00 - Holsten Pils - with Donald Pleasance, the voice of Dark and Lonely Water in the notoriously terrifying PIF.

Living the dream! 😎🍹

Spot on!
Frank Drebbin. .Class!🤣
Just finished work for the year, and what a video to watch as I pour a glass of the golden nectre :)
And a VERY merry Christmas to all! 😁
@@RetroSteveUK And to you, cheers :)
Terrific selection!
I keep watching out for the pub ad where everything goes backwards and a dog walks across the ceiling!!! Can’t remember the brand!
You know, that really rings a bell. I'll look out for that one.
I believe this is the one you want, gents: ua-cam.com/video/Rl3qXUDvc78/v-deo.html

The Carlsberg customer complaints dept ad was very clever.

08:53 Sea Bean before he started dying for a living,
And the voice behind 'Del' in the Autumn Gold ad sounds like Bradley Walsh.
Sounds like Christopher Ryan. Mike in The Young Ones.
"I wouldn't give a Castlemain XXXX" for the adverts made today compared to the adverts made back in the 70's. Is it just me looking through rose tinted glasses or were they seemingly made with more warmth, humour & content than they are nowadays?
Possibly a bit of both. I kinda feel the same way about old adverts.
Remember the Nescafé gold adverts
Gordon Rollings and Tonto in John Smiths ad. Peter Kay was no improvement.
Wow it’s Sean Bean looking about 18 years old!

Haven't been asked to prove my age for over 40 years. McEwens Lager in the 80's was my pint.😉🍺
Peter Kay, John smiths adverts

In the shadows ... that did make me guffaw! 🤣
Is that Liam Neeson in the Tennent's ad?
I never noticed that! I think it's definitely not him but it looks like him from certain angles.
Hey Steve, wishing you and yours a merry christmas and a happy new year. Whats your fav tipple this time of year. Cheers mate.
Ta! And you too! 🍻

Joan Collins. mic drop
Who was the voiceover in the Autumn Gold advert? It's so familiar!
I'm pretty sure it's the guy from the Young Ones who played Mike.
@@RetroSteveUK yes it is! Thank you!!!
A different age. Does anyone drink sherry now?
Wife and I have a bottle of Harvey's on the wine rack. It's Christmas, innit!?
