I love how in between each advert you can hear the cut film going through the player.
2:55 the goat of all ads
Great to see Michael Barratt on the Sainsbury’s advert. Having just left Nationwide the year before, he was now free to dabble in the lucrative advertising market as the authoritative ‘face you can trust’. He’s now an impressive 94 years old. Like Frank Bough he was one of the BBC dependables, totally flap-free in the midst of even the worst live broadcast crises.
The lady at 1:18 is just marvellous, great glasses and full of character.
Fantastic nostalgia
Even the adverts back then are better than today's ITV 'entertainment' output.
Great upload!
Michael Barrett again (Sainsbury's).
Windsor Davies and Don Estelle in the fruit pastilles ad.
"Richie Brockelman, Private Eye" to use the full name was a sort of spinoff from "The Rockford Files" which Steven Bochco hated working on because it was less than 13 episodes...
Great to see this...though the announcer is Peter Marshall not Philip. Not much chance to read the rundown before the break!
An early alert on the perceived dangers of leaded fuel. Pretty sure it was the 1990s before I first drove a converted car. We were indeed slow as a nation to catch on.
Daragh O'Malley in Crossroads.
I spy Lynda La Plante (Marchal) playing the Wench in the Tango advertisement.
Alan Lake playing Charles?
I spy myself as a small child in the advert too 😊
@@claracruickshank1173It that you running right at the beginning?
How come there are no more Warner Bros. cartoons on TV anymore?
When did the layered Thames backdrop behind the invision presenters first appear? From memory, I reckon it must have been about 1977/78?
3:58 - A generation after leaded gasoline was banned in the USA, violent crime rates there dropped significantly.
Leaded gasoline was invented as a cash-grab. Adding alcohol instead of tetra-ethyl lead (TEL) boosted the gasoline's performance just as much, but alcohol already existed, so it couldn't be patented and licensed. Whereas, TEL was a new substance, so it could be patented and licensed---thus resulting in huge profits for Standard Oil (SO).
They knew it was deadly when it was still in development. Workers at the plant developed extreme, violent mental illness and death. But (SO) downplayed it, and said the workers were already crazy. Still, people began referring to the SO plant as "The Looney Gas Plant".
Just one more case of a morally bankrupt industry putting profits far above even basic safety. And blaming the victims of its own gross negligence.
2:23 was a sinister advert of the time - persuading bored house-wives that drugs were the answer to their headache instead of leaving their husband and finding a better lover..
Juxtaposition between 1978 and now, OMG.
