10th January 1982 - Continuity & adverts around a cartoon followed by the film The Italian Job. Sadly the recording doesn't last long enough to show whether the Granada logo slides off screen altogether...
6:36 - Because I lived down South during this time, there was a cultural variation. Instead of the Signal toothpaste ad saying 'Tea', it said 'Supper'.
I guess folk outside the NW must have that same WTF moment, when Holimarine comes on that I get when I see an ad for some mad shop we didn't get, like Neebs, lol.
What makes me laugh is the guy at the ad agency who picked Jimmy as “suitable” to do a british rail campaign seemed really proud that he managed to get Jimmy to do it, it was in a documentary on the history of british rail on BBC four before the scandal about him was outed in 2011!!!!
Jesus 16+% APR for saving £500, yes please. The inflation rate was 8.6% in 1982 too, so it like 10% higher now, and you're lucky to get 2% on savings today. £500 is about £2250 in today's money BTW.
