British Television Ads 1950s to 1960s

Well remembered and obscure British television advertisements from the 1950s and 1960s featuring Warren Mitchell, Dusty Springfield, George Best, Arthur Askey and many others. Commercials for Findus, Carnation, KP Nuts, Cadbury's Flake, Schweppes, Fairy Toilet Soap, Golden Wonder, Sunsilk, Butlin's and a whole lot more.

Oh yes this is how advertising should be today I love looking 👀 looking back at theses 👍 great post

[@CuppaTeaandaSliceoCake]

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

[@richardbrown1189]

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.

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.

[@bekihodgson4]

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

[@shlibbermacshlibber4106]

Butlin's where everyone enjoys everything, that's quite a claim

[@cottoncandy4486]

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.

[@luisreyes1963]

British adverts make anything sound sophisticated, even Australia. 😁

Was that Jacqueline Bisset in the "National" ad? Did women look generally healthier and classier back then, or what?

🤔 so players are what we might call " a metaphor"?

[@mountainmantararua8824]

how many people today go out to the cinema dressed like that ?? we smoked our players together and got cancer together and died together.

[@fuckbollock]
