What a blast from the past. From my parents, to my 4 brothers and 3 sisters, we would all cram into our sitting room on a sunday nht to watch this together. It was the only time we actually watched something together without fighting. Great memories. Thank you ❤️
I met Judith Chalmers years ago in Blackpool, at the helicopter ride and we had a short chat waiting for the flight. She was absolutely lovely, so sweet and kind. It is a really good memory.
I can't belive Dennis Norden only died last month! Bless him. The worse part of getting old as a child of the 70's is that everybody you remember from your childhood is either a nonce or dead, or both.
The adverts were better than the main TV programmes of today... The Xmas tv back then lasted about 2 weeks and it was worth watching sometimes before we all had videos you had to miss good programmes on one channel to watch good programmes on another ... ...
@@AllOuttaBubblegum123 It went wrong because for 40 bloody years the right wing were voted into power for the majority with centrists filling in the gaps, both of whom believe in capitalism before society, profits before people, and flogged the nation off to transnational oligarchs to such a bloody extent that we produce NOTHING of note for anyone of consequence anymore. But don't worry, I am sure the next pro corporate centre right tree Stump in a tie sir kid starver himself will solve all problems while paving the road to an even worse tyrant who will rise to lead a reconstituted Tory party after him, if he doesn't become one himself given he has all the behaviours of an authoritarian puppet already present and provided there are enough Tory voters left alive by the time his terms are done. Nation had two good chances to undo a lot of the damage, in 2017 and 2019, but 70% of those over 50 who outnumber younger gens 2 to 1 crawled over broken glass to elect the same right wing corrupt sons of bitches over an ardent left wing humanitarian because they were gullible enough to believe voting for the same would yield a different result to the previous 40 bloody years of ever increasing decline for most so a handful can gain more wealth than God himself could count as has been the case consistently whenever centrists or the right have held power as they have done for the entirety of my near 50 years. That is what went wrong.
Fantastic. I was allowed up at the age of ten to watch this at our big family Christmas at my Nan's farmhouse. I remember the "Cannonball Run" clip very well, and it still gives me a really good chuckle today.
@@dunebasher1971 Hehe, you know, I pondered the maths myself :) I guarantee I was all over Manic Miner the years later ;) Solid research from a fellow GenX'er ;) 1971 - that most foul year of our lord I too was born ;)
@@poopdaddy4217 73 here. I played my 48k rubber keys to death. Manic Miner was fantastic even though I couldn't get past level 4. I must of had the patience of a saint back then as I would play for hours on end. I miss those innocent days.
OMG!!! I remember all those adverts . A time when advert were not about ripping you off for equity release , buying or selling your house online , no stupid dances or film and tv packages . I shall watch these again and again and again and again and again .........
night time hermit when you have acquired a “licence to print money” you simply can’t stop, you never got enough. So you impose compulsory dumbing down and any fool can make programmes because the worse they are, the more the plebs love it
Love the Upload Thanks I love the Advert for TCP That's exactly what my Great Uncle used to give me when i had a sore throat when i was about 8 or 9 can still taste it now LOL
Oh my gosh, so many memories here. Thank the universe I was born in an age where normalcy prevailed. Not like todays world where they are looking at crazy in the rear view mirror 😱
4:23 nice to see Hoges (before Crocodile Dundee) even if it is a Foster's beer ad. Around the same time he (and John Cornell) also appeared in various magazine / poster ads for Winfield cigarettes (carrying the famous slogan "anyhow ... have a Winfield").
great upload, I have an old VHS copy of this somewhere too. Looking at the 'Lineup' for ITV Boxing Day, my god, ITV really did throw in the towel at Christmas didn't they lol. BBC stuffed them like Turkeys, every year lol.
33:42. Fantastic :-) and 38:48 always cracks me up. Just the look on the guys face, and that glance at the watch :-) also, major kudos for not removing the ads and keeping it as a pure time capsule. The ads are great!
Back when television didn't dumb down to the most easily offended members of the audience. This was a time when the intelligence of the viewer was appreciated. Much better times.
33:43 to 34:05 - This little anecdote from that particular broadcaster (can't remember his name) about how he was finally able to perfect the pronunciation of a West African politician's name was so brilliantly deadpan - hilarious - my favourite clip in the show.
Thank you so much for the uploads. Loving the betamax continuity. It's great to see properly de-interlaced content as well. Dont suppose you have the game for a laugh as well?
This is when tele was worth watching esp sat nights. Noel house party, Spitting image etc much better than the woke shite u get today. Long live the 80/90's.
This is how we used to watch FAIL videos before the internet. At 37:50 when the boy starts pulling faces and bullying his brother on live TV while his father gives a speech is comedy at its best. I love how the cameraman tries to get him out of shot. Also the Australian newsreader having a cigarette break and looking at his watch. This show was a must see. RIP Dennis Norden.
At 10.00 when he is talking about bleeps, I don't know what he would say about TV now, they are F-ing all the time on TV and films these days. Those were the days when they ACTUALLY BLEEPED THE F WORD OUT. Long gone, I'm afraid.
gees that was ace, plus the ad's etc. what was the clip from at 56.00, that was set in the 2nd world war era, cos i know i have watched that programme, but love to watch it again.
That's from How We Used To Live, the schools history series. That whole series is on YT, and here's the specific episode: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pHhXpDQe4qU.html
