Born in 1963, so I remember all this things. I went to see 'The Last Snows Of Spring' with a friend, all these women had boxes of tissues with them while us 15 year old girls wanted to throw up, it was emotional hype at it's worst. The adverts were so much more fun too. Nowadays every family is multi racial or same sex, not that I have a problem with that, but, we do need to remember that there are more hetero couples and families all the same race here. That Quality Street ad over Christmas was the most ridiculously woke ad ever, every single family or couple featured were either multi racial or gay. All for diversity, but, that does include traditional families too and that isn't a colour thing either.
Same, we watched Armchair Thriller and Tales of the Unexpected and I loved them as a child. I now watch them on YT! Also, yes, my mum and I both cried buckets at The Last Snows of Spring, I haven't seen that movie since back then and now want to watch it again.
2:50 Something you didn't really see in 1970s adverts - the closing date for something. Mind you, the TV Times 7:24 puts an actual date on this being March 1978.
It's more equity release, buy funeral insurance or a cremation plan. I laugh my head of at the funeral ads, leave something for the kids???? Feck off! I spent a fortune bringing the little shit up, never got a word of thanks, she can pay for my bloody funeral.
Am I the only one that thinks 15 year old Lena Zavaroni and 14 year old Bonnie Langford being described - by a WOMAN - as "Teenage Bombshells" is creepy as hell?
Not really. People were leaving school and getting jobs at that age back then, and it was only a generation after that age group was in the Home Guard or working the collieries.
Born in 67 I loved the 70s wish I could go back
Now I do feel old..I remember collecting Green Shield stamps lol...
Needed countless books just for a pencil or rubber!
The 60's and 70's was the best. Wish we had a Time Machine. I would love to go back to them days.

@TheRenaissanceman65 better than global warming and social justice warriors

Nice to see Grouty at work before he was Arrested and ended up doing Porridge........
Probably occurred after he got out for good behaviour!
Armchair thriller intro used to terrify me as a kid! The last snows of spring cried buckets at that.

Who else fell in love with Jamie Sommers / the bionic woman
Whatever happened to Contact 400? That was great, dried up flu in about 15 mins flat!
Knowing the 70s it probably had some terrible chemical in it.
Bloody hell that man said a 95% mortgage can be arranged...things sure have changed 😊
Alan Lake in the Kronenberg advert!
‘Just like your little flowers?’ 😳
Bugga.....where the hell did i put my time machine......🙆♂️.

GeorgeASFTHM can't believe there woz only 3 channels then too
No UTV ads??
Yeah. How to buy bombs : D
single picture sale adverts.... lol
95% mortgage??
Yes! Those were the days!
How on earth they got away with them ads, I'll never no.
How on earth do you get away with your spelling
ha ha ha.
Because it was the 70s and as a child of the 70s that's how it was. Get over it.
7:26..teenage bombshells!! 😨 shocking and funny.
I'd never seen the nighttime version of the Thames logo.
you were lucky :-/
you most have been in bed when you was a kid back then ?!
Regularly saw that logo too (even later at night), but no recollection either.
Lenor, better known as Downy here in America.
I remember these times, and they were as naff as these adverts suggest.
Lol
Hence the punk explosion in the Isles
Measter Aemon Targaryen!
They explained how the hoover worked but she didn't understand the science bit because she is a woman lol
Adverts nowadays the majority is cash for a donkey too children in Africa etc tv is crap now and so are the adverts
