    Absolutely brilliant ... thank you very much indeed for bringing back wonderful memories.

    Some brilliant stuff in there. The Duke of Bedford trying to give the impression that he takes an interest in floor cleaners. And the National petrol ad is a work of art.

    Public information films were not “ads” . There were no “ads” on British TV until 1956 when Lew Grade and Cecil Bernstein got their licences to print money

      Is that not the truth . We had our dialects, true (like Cockney) but many spoke clear English unlike todays Essex slang and that awful Estuary speak.

    Lovely nostalgia of a great time. Not one mobile phone or laptop. I loved George Best when he played for Man Utd. I have saved this and will watch again maybe when I am eating a Cadbury flake although they are difficult to find nowadays.

    I was born in the fifties. Didn't recognise a single ad. I recognised the products, and I've seen loads of Tufty ads, but none of these registered in the old noggin.

      Same here. Born in 1955 and didn't recognise any of the adverts. I would never have believed that there would be so many.

    Wow. Non- deposit bottles. A great and then novel innovation. Leading to current landfill nightmares and sowing the seeds of our throw-away society. But it's great to see the girls doing the washing and silly old cleaning, as the chaps souse themselves in Fore. .and you know that when the Fairy had done its job, she could chomp on a Flake.

      Yes Pete. Thanks for the memory. I was a scout and at Gilwell (not sure of the spelling) We went around searching for bottles and made a tidy sum on returns.

    I think the players advert was filmed at Polperro in Cornwall.

    Remember the carpet one.and a few others, Trebore mints, shampoo and soap one's, not all. But boy remember putting carnation milk on tinned fruit for desert, definatly wouldn't now, so sickly.
    Loved flake. I didn't got to Butlins but my younger brother and sister did. They loved it, all the rage then for holidays.
    But the Players cigerretts one was so corny.

    If I'm not mistaken that looks like the 1962 built Coventry station foyer in the Inter City ad at the end?
    Mum & dad nearly went for the £10 Pom scheme too. I don't know why they didn't but I drew a plane in infants school and talked about it.
