OK, so this wasn't from a Betamax tape, it was from a Philips N1700, but I thought I might as well keep the naming convention. Lots of ads and (mostly) Granada continuity from 1978-79, and a full edition of Hickory House into the bargain.
Lots of good stuff here including ads from my childhood. Highlights for me are Pat Coombs voicing the perfume and: "Shouldn't be allowed!" and the animated colour Granada ident into Hickory House.
Phwoar!(Even though I was 10)😊Also Maria Morgan of"Handful of songs to sing you🎵"What we're u guys doing to me???I was only 10!!! (Actually these programmes were for preschoolers so I only watched them for the totty).
If someone had told me when I was eight years old that in 43 years time I would be watching old episodes of Hickory House on a MacBook. I would have said What's a MacBook? This is the nearest thing to time travel.
By pure chance I’m watching Hickory House 40 years to the day that recording was made. And what’s more worrying is that I can recall the taste of Secret Agent sweets immediately on seeing the wrapper, despite not having thought of them since 1978. Thanks for the upload.
Hi. I'd like to get some Betamax original movie tapes. Iam trying to get some old home video formats(Betamax, CED, VHD and Video8). Would you have any Beta for sale(boxes, Video case-best shape only)?Thanks a lot.
1978 was the year of the American bubblegum invasion. They fascinated be because at 10p I couldn't dream of affording them but the advertising made me really want them.
Ah. Thanks for answering. If you ever had any chance to upload those I'd enjoy seeing even just those bits (if you'd rather not then I understand, and thanks for all you do share).
