Joan Collins has said that they tried to turn the unlikely pairing into a film but couldn't find a script that explained how they came to be together. Pity.
@@JudeBrowne-yn8ku No. Brand recognition is more important. A company can get by manufacturing products but the Pay Day comes with a merger or buy out. Any company can make a new chocolate bar and fight to get it onto the market , but add an accepted name (Cadbury) and it will sell in quantity from day one.
You have to be British and of a 'certain age' to appreciate most of these ads. Remembering the actors and the type of characters they played. The Campari ad made Lorraine Chase into a national treasure. 😅😅
we used to get a few of these in new zealand{when there weren't enough businesses advertising on the tele TVNZ ould insert some scots/ irish/ english adverts to make up the time.} I particularly remember the PG tips one.
Well I'm Irish born and bread and I (fondly) recall all of these ads, except for the Yorkshire one, it must have been shown on a station we didn't get here. These ads featured people who were household names at the time: George Cole, Arthur Mullard, Penelope Keith, Leonard Rossiter, Joan Colins and Lorraine Chase. As a kid I always loved the series of Smash Martians and PG Tips Chimp ads also the various ways that Joan got soaked by Leonard. Great memories.

There was a brilliant Irish ad of the 70s for Baxter's Soups. A chicken fails to answer the question, what is 2 plus 2? "At Baxter's we choose only the thickest chickens..."
Happily, I think, as we didn't know anything else ! Now of course the products all seem so basic and unsophisticated and the voiceovers very staid but I have fond memories of that simpler time. Natural of course, it was my childhood!
The signature jingle for the Cadbury's Smash ads 'For mash get Smash' apparently made the composer Cliff Adams a fortune. Adams was famous for producing and arranging the songs for the Radio 2 programme 'Sing Something Simple' and came up with the notes for the tag line for Cadbury's ad agency . He supposedly got a royalty every time the ads were aired and as we know they went on for years.
@@fionaterry-chandler8056 unfortunately my memories of that programme are not so favourable. I went to boarding school and my old man would listen to it as he was dropping me off at school on a Sunday evening!
Ye, and it was total instant crap. I remember asking in a cafe if the coffee was fresh or instant, I was told to f@ck off and asked to leave. The irony of it was a few yrs later they went bankrupt and the unit is now a Costa. Nothing wrong with being given a choice and if all you want is a plain coffee just ask for a 'white coffee' you still can!
I disagree because there has always been 'word salad' attached to coffee, in Britain at any rate. Cafés were an incredibly important place for the youth of Britain after the second world war. The Allies may have won WW2 but Britain was devastated and the new youth culture coming through the ranks in the 50's, on the back of 'American Rockabilly', then the 60's with the help of 'British Beat' they all congregated in Coffee shops and Milk Bars. The Drink of choice was coffee and all its varieties. It wasn't until continual grinding poverty of the 70's & early 80's that no one could afford coffee out anymore, or indeed wanted it as youth culture (which I was very much part of) had moved on to the 'discotheque' and pre disco pub. With the mass closure of Milk Bars and Italian Coffee shops and the Wimpy style cafe taking over through the 1970's. It's then that coffee became this awful 'bland milky, made with cheap 'chicory' infused instant dust for the quick stop off in a Wimpy bar while you were out shopping'. This then gave Brits the impression that coffee was dreadful, which it truly was and it stayed on the back burner until money became more abundant and we could afford a couple of quid for a drink! So, if your getting thin weak milky coffee, then my advise would be change you café. As in most places a white coffee, or coffee with milk usually means a splash of or topped off with milk. Here in the UK back in the 1980's if you asked for a milky coffee in a café what you got was a coffee made with hot milk and a 'big beautiful spoonful of instant Nescafé' mixed into the milk. A kind of throw back to 50's & 60's British Milk Bars and Italian Coffee shops that every town had a number of as alcohol use was very strictly controlled and only served in licenced bars. So, a 'milky coffee' was a 70's & 80's cheap ass British version of the French Café Au Láit. As.my generation (late Boomer of '62) had lost the taste for either filter/drip coffee, or an espresso based drink all we knew was instant, and Nescafé was the first and best (objective). However, the second you experienced a Rombouts individual mini one cup filter drink the game was over for instant coffee, well it was for me at any rate! The very first time I had a cup of Rombouts drip coffee was in the summer of 1978 in Burkett's bakery cafe in Penrith. I had just left school and had my first job, so I had money of my own for the first time, so a Rombouts drip coffee was a treat on a weekend, also you got a little caramelised 'Biscoff' biscuit on the side, heaven 😎 So, good coffee, or at least a beverage of an improved quality over instant is part of my journey, a small part but still part of my narrative. Having and enjoying a good coffee has been part of my life now for over 50 yrs and this will continue until the day I take my last breath.
Was only thinking about Luton Airport ad as I ploughed up the M1 recently 🥰 These were the days when you did not put the kettle on or go for a pee when the ads came on. You sat down and enjoyed them! No wonder making adverts was such a glamorous job, they continued to outdo each other with the best scripts, actors and concepts. They even advertised stuff that people liked! Maybe we’re going through a sort of dark period of Cromwellian misery, awaiting restoration comedy just around the corner. I bloody hope so.
@@Hannari-xt6nrI agree with you but stop your nastiness against "white Brits" do something for the the tea picker ladies who have lost their farms and homes instead .......
@@Hannari-xt6nr my god, what is wrong with you, you did not have to watch any of this, as I can see you are easily triggered, I suggest you go and find a safe space, along with your safety blanket and have good cry. You are what is wrong in todays society.
Posting the same comment three times is just embarrassing yourself. You're just assuming those monkeys were badly treated when all that will have happened is that they were filmed playing with those props and were painstakingly edited afterwards. As for the comment about the lady carrying the tea. What point are you trying to make with that?
No Luton Airport, one of those tag lines forever burnt into my memory along with go get em floyd and a finger of fudge is just enough to give your kids a treat. 😁
For my family it was all black and white 'til the mid 80's when my dad could afford a colour telly box from radio rentals, still had to go for a walk to change channel or volume though but no more replacing blown valves thankfully. 🤣😂👍
Miss, is pence spelt with an S or a C? I don’t think you'll ever have to worry about that. Classic. £10 for a pen was a lot of money. Definitely a luxury item.
Says who?… i grew up in the seventies with these adds too.. remember the “ only the crumbliest flakiest chocolate… taste like chocolate never tasted before “… well ?… & i’m of Indian origin
The AA ad. From around 82/83 where the geezer is calling them because he lost car and he asks his son where he buried it and the kid say "it's in the sand", camera opens up to a 3 mile stretch of beach.
Have you? And you think they're all being badly treated, do you? Don't forget most ads these days are done with green screens and A.I. What you're looking at is not what is actually happening.
@@fridayschild In fairness, that particular ad was done with real chimps. Were they mistreated? Only in the sense that when they hit adolescence and retired, they had no small difficulty adjusting to life with other chimps. They used a lot of chimps. I understand the last one died around 2014. Adolescent chimps are, even in the wild, prone to extreme violence and, in my opinion, only a fool would adopt one. Some animals cannot be trained. If you are old enough to remember Skippy, the bush kangaroo, you might recall we only got to see scenes of him running off or just running. No cooperation beyond that. There were a lot of Skippies, just as there were a lot of Lassie(s) the wonder dog. These days, you don't include animals because people disapprove and legislation makes it very difficult. Those animals generated a lot of money for the advertisers. Mistreatment would have been counterproductive though I have to qualify, it was the money and not love of animals that motivated the businesses involved. Having said that, Unilever did use revenue to set up a chimp sanctuary. Long live green screens and AI.
The ad was written by a very quiet, bespectacled man who sat in an office on his own called 'The Potting Shed' because he pottered in there. He was called John Webster and he produced ads people LIKED. Even if they never bought the product, they understood that someone was being courteous enough to entertain them while interrupting the programmes they really wanted to see.
@@LdevArtso here is the crazy liberal turning an innocent video about adverts into a virtue signalling exercise. You lot just can’t stop can you, absolutely embarrassing.
The golden age of UK TV advertising! The PG Tipps' chimps, George Cole, Arthur Mullard, the sexy Penelope Keith- what more could one want? Thanks for posting❤
The. Carling advert of the two guys avoiding stampeding elephants on top of a african hut with the classic remark 'they're going to charge oh i thought they were on the house whilst consuming two pints of said lager.
You've just reminded me of the wonderful campaign of ads for Phileas Fogg, "Medomsley Road, Consett, Country Durham." I feel another compilation coming on...
I was at University and a German student friend who was there stated how he loved the humour in British adverts. He wished they had the same on German TV. Frankly, I was surprised he'd noticed. Maybe we helped to stir something missing on the other side of the channel.
shows how brainwashed you are. the mainstream media now outlines isolated cases and makes people like you think they are widespread. IGNORANCE WAS BLISS
It used to come in at Number 1 in all the Best Ads of All Time TV shows...until Guinness 'Surfer' crept up on it. Four guys in Speedos sit on a beach. Then they rush out into the ocean and end up hugging on a beach. What's that all about? Give me tin men from the edge of the cosmos any day...
Back in the days when the advertisers knew that a memorable advert was good for brand recognition. Today's ads are instantly forgettable because they're all about virtue signalling
Crazy how some of these ads lasted until the 80s. Like the PG Tips and Smash ones (I thought they were both from the 80s). Most ads these days churn over and are totally immemorable.
Jeremy Clyde who appeared with Lorraine Chase in the Campari advert. He was a member of the duo during the 1960s Chad and Jeremy. They made a guest appearance in the TV show Batman.
There may only have been 3 tv channels but as we didn't know any different, that wasn't a problem. If there was nothing on that you fancied then you read a book or listened to the radio.
