Thames - Adverts Continuity & ITN News - 1985 

Many thanks for uploading this

That first news item! Bloody hell!! I sat with my jaw open all the way through it.

I bloody love that christmas Persil advert. I used to think that it was a lot longer though.

Interesting to see that L'Enfance du Christ trailer. Back then, ITV usually threw in a highbrow offering at some point in Xmas week to get the light-ents heavy schedule passed by the IBA.

I never knew 7Eleven was in this country!!!

The fox hunting segment inspired a young Chris morris

04:38: This is THAMES from London. SWITCHOVER TO *ITN* NEWS 16:45: ITN NEWS ENDED

Eh? Cannot believe this!!!!and here's me thinking the SAS only used stun grenades .That copper still couldn't get that door opened .

I am certain that I have seen the Anglia version of this clip, although it might have been Christmas Day instead. ITN bulletin looks familiar. 0:41 What a load of balls. 3:02 The male customer is voiced by George Layton, so it's not surprising that Griffin (Richard Briers) calls him "George".

Inspector Kite from the early years of The Bill in the British Airways ad

I didnt know 7/11 had made it over to the UK in the mid 80's I'd thought they'd always been a US thing...

Police would never storm a place like that now. They would give the guy a free pass and see him on his way.

When British Airways was special and the best airline in the sky. Willie Walsh ruined the airline over 10 years ago.

that police entry was a right botch-job!!

I wonder if the ban on fox hunting now has caused the huge number of foxes roaming our city centres and outlying suburbs??
