And for all of those who live alone.... there's somebody behind you!!!!! Don't forget to lock the door and switch off your set. Like you need reminding...... 😂😮
"Incidentally if you are keen we will start showing the test card at 5.15 in the morning" Italian TV did that at about 9am (as Italians believe) after showing ½h of blank screen, static would start 15m of blank screen after closedown (and showing for about three minutes the time of returning on the air so it's 18m after closedown after all) and programming started at 12.30pm (at that time). Thank god there's no sign off (even though it became a monthly thing to sign off for the 0330-0700 time zone) (BBC three and four don't count)
That Trio candy bar commercial has a resemblance to Stan Freberg's "Banana Boat Song" parody of Harry Belafonte's "Day O," where in the course of recording the song the beatnik bongo drum player (played by Peter Leeds) is constantly complaining that Freberg's singer is way too loud (despite the singer insisting that it is "authentic calypso"), finally demanding that Freberg sing the chorus outside of the studio, which leads to: SINGER (as we hear sounds of trying to open a locked door): I can't get back in there! BONGO PLAYER: Crazy. (as in beatnik sign of approval, like "crazy, man, crazy")
I recall that at the time, Stan Freberg's parody was enjoying renewed popularity thanks to getting airtime on Radio Two, so it's not surprising that some advertiser would parody the parody.
@@stephenroney3630 In our family we have a succession of birthdays throughout the summer, including my own in June so the weather for each year is always linked in my mind with either outdoor/indoor/holiday birthdays. For the record, on my birthday in 1985 we were on holiday in Blackpool, staring out of a caravan at sheets of rain and wind. And I agree about '84 because we were at the same resort the previous year on the same date and it was scorching hot, that was part of the reason why we went again.
@@speakertreatz Apart from 1984 and 1976, when I went to West Germany, in 1983 with my Mum, it never went below 30°C in the day and 20°C at night. It was in Munster, in the Rhineland. 1st time I've been here in 7 months, (this site) so I just gave you a thumbs up.
