You forgot popcorn in your hair, that annoying kid who kicked the back of your seat, slurped his pop and eat a weeks supply of sweets and chocolate all before the film only to be sick all down your back. Halcian days.
I still call it..the pictures.. Saturday afternoon with ya mates, buster crabbs flash Gordon then Jon eilis Tarzan then a film like Jason and Argonauts, throwing stuff off the balcony. Kids don't know how to party these days
"Going up the pictures" or going to the flicks" never the "cinema" that was posh. 👍😁 Where did the expression "Gone up the pictures" meaning something's gone wrong come from?
That's interesting. It has always reminded me of part of the instrumental section of Richard Harris's 'MacArthur Park' of 1968, which certainly places it datewise. Memorable.
Mate, that was the world where Jimmy Saville could run riot because everyone didn’t believe stuff like that happened. Innocence is great in children, it’s a lot less good in adults.
@@IanBetteridge They knew and did nothing, maybe they still know things and do nothing. But that isn't the what I meant to comment on or thought people would think of, it was those times and how it felt, that's all.
That Silk Cut advert is absolutely insane looking at it with 2021 eyes. And High Karate is not much better. Terrific. Thanks for posting these. I'm bloody old but happy to have been young in the 70's, 80's and 90's.
Hanzilla, I Don't Know If You Know That The Silk Cut Cigarette's Was In The 1970's The Most Expensive Ad In The 1970's It Took At Least 4, Months, And Cost Well Over £.3.00000. Million Pounds to And We're Sopose To Be Made In About 10-20, Day's, !!!!
Used to love these, many scratches as they had probably been run through the projectors hundreds of times and the 'thumps' on the sound track where they had been spliced in, brilliant :)
One of the regional advertisements for a local ironmongers began with a bloke shouting, BEAUTIFUL KNOCKERS!!! Had me and my mates in stitches every time...
Kia-Ora came with a plastic straw with a paper covering . We would break the end of the paper then blow the straw in the air then outline of a snake appeared on the screen as the paper fluttered to the floor. The Usherette would put her touch on trying to find the guilty party. Also it was a so and so trying to push the straw into the carton.
I've set the pearl and Dean ident video to play before any movie I play through plex. It looks amazing when I stream it to my projector outside at night, on a 10ft screen. The kids love it.
I always remember at the end of the 70s seeing a dated advert for a local clothes shop that went along the lines of " that's the gear, man. Really cool and trendy!" We laughed like drains as someone paraded around in a pair of synthetic flared leg trousers, a nylon shirt with a huge collar and a tie as wide as a trouser leg. The 70s were amazing and I went from 7 to 17, what a decade!
Ah my childhood taken to the local flea pit to watch the latest cartoon film and Saturday morning film club when we were on holiday back in the 70s. Sometimes the Pearl and Dean adds were better than the actual film. Wish i could visit the 70s and 80s again. Happy days
haha yes i rember if the film was shit me and my sister would dare each other to go up to the screen and wave our arms about, or run right round the cinema, we had to go every saturday just to get us out nomatter what film was showing
@@JudgeMarmianWiZard lol i remember kids scrambling to get on the stage underneath the screen just for a laugh as well. Who knew it was done all over the UK and not just here in Durham. As long as i got my badge on my way out when it was over i was happy. Full of Kiora, ice cream, crisps and ket resulting in a full sugar rush that lasted hours. 🤣🤣👍
At that time, all BBC employees had to use only RP accents. My friend's mother-in-law was Scottish, and had to have dialect coaching to change her accent to RP before they'd let her on the air, even in Scotland. As regional accents became more acceptable, Terry reverted to his natural accent.
There was a door furniture company opposite the Odeon in Bromley called "Knobs and Knockers"... you can imagine the hilarity when their advert was shown! :)
Ah, Lyons Maid ice cream....so hard the little wooden spoon would snap and Kia Ora orange juice that made you so hyper you couldn’t sit still for hours. Aaah happy days!
My gran had a sweet shop and sold Lyons Maid products and Kia-Ora as well as Tip Top drinks, forgot the ice cream was so hard it bent spoons trying to dish it out, my mum used a sharp knife to cut it if it was in a block. Happy days.
@@royzview6254 yup and those Vienettas as well. Preferred that to an arctic roll. I even remember going to a birthday party as a small child and we each had a jelly shaped as a rabbit with a cream bob tail and i went home declaring how posh my best mate was and why didnt we have rabbit shaped jelly! Lol good old days.
@Induxvideos Wasn't smoking only allowed on the right hand side of the cinema? Didn't they used to make an announcement? As if the stink and smoke didn't travel.
@Induxvideos I remember as a kid in the seventies an announcement on the speakers "For the comfort and safety of our patrons, smoking is only permitted on the right hand side of this auditorium". Cue punters on the left side groping their way in the dark over to the right. 🙄
As a 56-year old, this takes me back to the days when my parents took me to see the latest Disney releases in our nearby (one screen) cinema. For local businesses, I well recall the use of generic '70s 'vibe' commercials, each followed by what was essentially a static card with voiceover tailored to the specific business (as shown). These were voiced by a typical RP-speaker, even though we were in South Wales, and this sometimes led to hilarious (for us, at least) mispronunciations of local place names! I thought the Milk Tray Man might put in an appearance here but it seems he's hung up his skis, ropes and harpoon gun for good. ('Must be about eighty by now, if the sharks didn't get him.)
That Gordon's Gin ad was much better than the utter bollocks they show now...saying That, all the adverts in this upload are better than the crap they show now...
thanks for the memorys this brings back woman with a light on a tray and the slurping of the orange juice would love to see these days come back cinema was our entertainment thanks for sharing this video with us all
It's the early 80s, the ABC cinema Bournemouth, the Pearl & Dean stock Indian Restaurant advert comes on, when the clip showing the sheek kebab came up the whole cinema shouts "Turd on a plate", Ah the good old days before the world turned sour.
Do you remember Valerie Leon (fondly rememberd by all Hammer horror fans) advertising Hai Karate? I dont think I ever used it but I dont think it smelt to good by todays standards? Steve ( Gails husband)
@@gailbrocksom433 ha ha ha it definitely doesn't smell good by todays standards , but as a 15 year old in 1983 and on a School skiing trip to France, it came in very handy when the small Toilet in a room shared by 3 Boys Took an absolute Hammering after a night eating bad Pizzas' The Hai Karate was used as an Air Freshener in the Toilet, not sure if it improved the smell or not .... lol great times
seems those adverts had a lasting effect on me been a carpet fitter for 35 years now, got 4 bottles of gordans gin in the cupboard and a bottle kia-ora orange squash in the fridge
Those were indeed the days. A more innocent time? My father taking me to see a film I wasn’t really old enough to watch, come back dad. Very nostalgic.
Oh How I Miss The 1970's !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, I Was Lucky Enough To Go To The Cinema, About Three Time's A Week,. Just BRILLIANT I Want To Go Back To The 1970's , Can I Go Back Right NOW, Please,.
It was during a Pearl & Dean advert in the 70s that I learned that "indifferent" was another word for "better". There was a young couple in the row behind me and the girl said "oh, that's better" and the guy said "yes, it's in different".
This video reminds me so much of watching Mary Millington flicks like 'Come Play With Me' and other soft porn films in Leicester Square when I was a young man in the RAF stationed at Hendon in the late 70s!
More like "will the owner of the yellow Lada Riva convertible please call the local skip hire company as they think they have your car. And can they have the skip back please as it's worth more than your car!"
Yup. Pearl and Dean intros, intervals halfway through, and the air extractor doing bugger all to remove the smog from the 'smokers side' of the cinema. Happy days(?)
@@SteeeveO Me too, great days i was a teenager, No Aids yet to worry about, Penicillin cured everything, i picked up a different nurse from the local hospital Nurses quarters flats every night. Jack from On the buses had nothing on me
Yea back in the day when it didn't cost the earth to go to the pictures and your first kiss was shared in the back row under a haze of cigarette smoke.
Every time I see this Pearl & Dean typeface I partly keep thinking of ITV's 'World Of Sport' in the back of my mind because they used it in the majority of The 1970's back then.
@@oscarwilde5473 or how about Meatloaf at knebworth in the rain with his leg in a black plaster cast after falling off stage in Oz falling flat on his back on the slippery stage, laying like a beached whale and being the instant target for every piss filled bottle in range.🤣🤣🤣🤣👍
Gary Foley you were doing it wrong. We used to get bladdered on the original live yeast Guiness then go home to put a Fray Bentos pie in the oven and the chip pan on. Invariably you would fall asleep with a lit woodbine falling down the back of the sofa then wake to find the chip pan on fire.
That was written by Jeff Wayne who had a huge hit with War of the Worlds, The Human League did a decent cover of the Gordons Gin tune on one of their early pre Dare albums.
That Zulu Silk Cut advert brought a smile to my face. Imagine that on your advert on our TV's these days? "Beam me back to the '60s or early '70s Scotty," this place is driving me insane with envy. Although to be honest that Sunkist muck was beyond disgusting.
Anyone remember an advert for Wang & Cohen, Chinese and Jewish restaurant? It was around the back of the Empire, Leicester Square, in China Town. Straight up, no messing.
Gordon's Gin, Silk Cut and Kia-Ora were most definitely shown at the cinema during the Pearl & Dean intermission, but Oxo cubes and any other TV commerical were not shown in any of the cinemas I went to in the 70's.
Ooh, I've come over all nostalgic, loved the silk cut ads, they were always good. One I remember as a mainstay was the "super hotdog" ad, surprised it wasn't in the clip.
We had Local ones advertising the Local Businesses. IE: We had Patric McKnee eating In the Local Chinese Restaurant. Great memories of the Best Years of Cinema. I went to see the Latest Pirate movie with My Daughter (She Is a big Johnny Depp Fan) I noticed You so much as Sneezed to loud You were out. In My day they used to Dance In the Allies and sing along to the songs. So much for the Getting Into the film. How times have changed Kids don't how to enjoy themselves no more. Sad.
John Bird is not a Wacist, he's one of Britain's greatest satirists. What hes doing there is a variation of his Ugandan Dictator Idi Amin impression (a real Fascist). Recent history is a mystery to millions
I remember the 'people like you are turning to players No6' accompanied by a montage of 70s hipsters being met with howls of derision from the cinema audience.
In an episode of "Have I Got News For You" in 2010, guest host Bruce Forsyth said that after every take where he had to bite into a scone with Stork spread on it, he had to spit it out into a bucket by his feet. He hated the stuff, but said if they needed someone for an advert (i.e. if there was a fee) then he was available.
Butter made from whatever cows eat in the grass. Ever seen it made? High in cholesterol. Magarine hygienically made with added vitamins A & D, tastes good too.
Anthony Hobson that stuff is so rank flies won't bother it? When my grandad was found dead after a week one hot summer back in the seventies there was a tub of it open in the kitchen. Not a single mark was found on it.
you didnt realise how much, orange juice, coca cola,tomato sauce, hot dog and chocolate sauce and ice cream you had spilt down your shirt till you got outside in the daylight............................"Mbongoland" lol !!, innocent days !
Ah, the bad old days when junkie stick ads were still legal. Kia-Ora, otherwise known as weak orange squash in a plastic box. The Chris's cabs phone number is now a hydroponics company. And does anyone remember 'Have fun with a hot dog?' The punchline was, 'An hour from now you'll wish you'd had one!'
I remember the Gordon's gin ad, and the Human League version so I did a bit of research. Jeff Wayne also did the music for the war of the worlds. . Gordon's Gin is the title of an instrumental track written by Jeff Wayne and recorded by The Human League for inclusion on the Travelogue album. The track was originally written and recorded by Wayne for the cinema advertisement for Gordon's Gin in the late 1970's. The commercial end witht e famous slogan "It's got to be Gordon's". Only a demo 7" single of the original exists, under the name of Jeff Wayne Music. The recording was engineered by Martin Rushent, who would later work with The Human League as producer.
I doubt anyone would have smoked if they had the pleasure of cleaning the tar that would literally drip from the cinema extract fans. Makes me feel ill just remembering that pleasure.😒
Popcorn munchers, drink slurpers, seat kickers, unnecessarily-persistent, loud coughers. These are a few memories of going to the cinema way back then. Happy days.
Still there but with the addition of muppets who spend the entire film looking at their phones and texting and then somehow can't find the poxy thing when it rings!
Sneaking into the Odean cinema (Canterbury) saturday mornings circa 1976 via the fire door.....picking up old tickets from the dirt covered floor....and when the usher came around to check for if you had paid....pop ticket in mouth, chew for a few seconds, spit it out onto your hand and offer it to her.....FREE entrance
ABC Cinema Sheffield near the 'hole in the road', advertised with Pearl&Dean if I recall correctly. Remember as a kid queuing up in the tunnel to watch 'Grease'
