why do i get a warm feeling watching these adverts it must be the fact that adverts were actually more entertaining in past years ...and the adverts are remembered...castrol gtx liquid engineering

@ah1701 15 лет назад

hehehe Castrol GTX - liquid engineering! I think that clip of the oil drop running down the can and going into the spanner, plus BP's tiger have to be some of the most memorable ads of the era...

@petey8887 12 лет назад

A lot of these ads focus on the 'home' life or returning to home from somewhere else; they're very warm. I like it.

@NikkiClo 15 лет назад

Aww the milk ad makes you feel all cosy

@simonprice3484 9 лет назад

loved Kenny Everett amazing talent well missed nice trip back down memory lane. halcyon days of the like we'll never see again ... sadly !!!!!

@mutinyonthekitkat 7 лет назад

Sometimes I still say 'the man from del monte he says yes' when I agree with somebody. I didn't realise it was so long ago. No wonder people give me a blank look.

@johndaarteest 4 года назад

That Castrol GTX music still gives me goosebumps.

When I became an advertising sales rep for a large magazine company the companymobile for trainee reps was a Ford Escort.I remember being green with envy when a colleague left to get a job with newly launched Channel 4 and was given a Renault Fuego. It's also interesting that 25 years on it wasn't the John Bull beer kit that put pubs out of business but supermarkets selling cheap booze

@jadeveylupek133 9 лет назад

Foods look sooo delicious in the old times!...I forgot about that when I was a kid and want to eat it again...I miss the real taste my mom made in the very old times than today. We are eating the fake foods today...geez

@CyprusElmo 10 лет назад

cant thank you enough for uploading these...back to my childhod, sad but days was much better then compared to today.

@GR8M8108 16 лет назад

I was sufing old ads as I live in USA now, and was feeling nostalgiac. Found Finola Hughes of American Soap opera and 'How do I look' fame dancing in the Finesse wallpaper ad! (around 5:00). Thanks for the memories and for seeing a youthful Finola.

@bucksby 16 лет назад

Brilliant posting. I especially liked the Pye TV ad with Paul Eddington, I can't believe how old fashioned those sets are!

@Perranporth 16 лет назад

Even in the early 80s it wasn't television, it was COLOUR television!

@welchm8 16 лет назад

Interesting to see old British commercials. As a Yank I haven't heard of many of these actors mentioned, but I did immediately recognize Paul Eddington--MP (and later PM) Jim Hacker of "Yes Minister" fame.

@osamaalmulki4548 5 лет назад

1970s & 1980s commercials were and still the most enjoying ones .

@sidefish8362 10 лет назад

I think I must have seen that Castrol advert at least a million times.

@GrahamPearson-oo4uy 4 месяца назад

I remember drinking Del Monte Pure Fruit Juices when I was little.

@RoadCone411 16 лет назад

A lot of "going home" adverts - cheese, milk, kerrygold butter, bovril cubes - all about being home and the goodness of family.

@mistofoles 14 лет назад

That's gotta be James Bolam narrating the milk advert!

@agfagaevart 16 лет назад

As I recall, those Yellow Pages ads used various 'stars' doing VO for the hands.

@SashaSteelQueenie 16 лет назад

Thankyou for posting these, I found the Walkers ad hilarious, and some good nostalgic ads as well!

@charlisays 16 лет назад

Those were the days when teletext and remote controls were considered luxurious! :0)

@RoadCone411 16 лет назад

I know what you mean, but growing up these ads makes me feel somewhat comfortable seeing them, as if it reminds me of a time gone by. The world seemed a simpler, happier place then, but perhaps that is simplifying it too much. But there is definitely an emphasis on home and family life - where are those ads today? My goodness, I remember when Walkers crisps looked like that..!

@caxtonman 16 лет назад

Makes me feel old......!!

@TheBritishLegions 10 лет назад

Robert Powell, Richard Briers, Tim Pigott-Smith, Joss Ackland etc.. - 80's ad voices!

@flametop93 15 лет назад

Yes, used to adore the music as a kid - still sounds great now!

@theEvo77 10 лет назад

Cool, i remember that naff man from del monte who said YESSSS! lol

@homeboy2166 10 лет назад

Kenney Everett was an amazing talent.

@Incognito1986 14 лет назад

That "Teletext" TV seemed to a precursor to the Internet!

@buckeejit73 15 лет назад

i always thought the castrol GTX ad sounds as tho it shouldve been used at the start of a Superman movie. classic!! page 555 on c4 on Ceefax was the best, jokes and shit!!! christ how the memories start to invade!!

@waderm810 16 лет назад

oh these were the days!

@Concreteowl 14 лет назад

Tpfff! When we still had industry and milk floats to fuel them.

@j43ms 16 лет назад

good old james bolam- "howay man, put milk forst, like"!

@sreshunts 12 лет назад

The Halifax advert lol, the only thing that they insist on is that you take out more than you put in. They did that all right :)

@PROTEK123 14 лет назад

Oracle lol the internet of the 80s

@gallafey 14 лет назад

@caxtonman 13 лет назад

Did you spot PC Quinan (aka Andrew Paul) in the Bovril stock cubes Advert?

@Thompsdan 5 лет назад

I’ll bet that Rowenta iron has been aisled in the dreaded cemetery of irons years since.

@Xxfancythat79xX 16 лет назад

THe guy in the bovril advert was in Bugsy Malone and used to be in The Bill!

@mrdwonderfull 15 лет назад

Renault Fuego!! Bet there aren't many of them left!

@bthomehub2 15 лет назад

Too true - that's exactly what I thought when I saw it!

@koksy 15 лет назад

Does anybody remember adverts on TV around this time for humongous microwaves and kitchen equipment made by some company called "Tappan"? I seem to remember it was all orchestral music to them or something.... Or is my memory deluding me?

@caxtonman 12 лет назад

Have you noticed how many adverts there were for banks or insurance in this sequence compared to what they brainwash you with now?

@bthomehub2 15 лет назад

Too true - it'd be like snow, disgustingly enough ;) lol

@RoadCone411 16 лет назад

People who owned Hillman Avengers must have eaten a lot of Shredded Wheat! Where's the Honey Nut Shredded Wheat??!

@xxnonstopdancingxx 11 лет назад

The "committee" in the bovril ad look like they've broken out of Borstal

@darkdubh 13 лет назад

@gallafey Yes i remember that ad,i it was for paxo.I loved the bit where he smashed the table in slow motion.It would have been on about 1979 or thereabouts.

@myquiter 13 лет назад

Is that Alan Bennett doing the voice-over for the biscuit ad?

@atomictraveller 5 лет назад

cheddar.. hits teh spot when you're on a 20 year opium benderrr.. *heavy breathing*

@sptol 15 лет назад

Isnt it mad how ads in them days made most of us go out and buy half the shit they were selling Oracle and Ceefax proper blasts from the past a few famous faces Gwyneth Powell, Andrew Paul, Ian Ogilvy and some late great stars like Kenny Everett, Paul Eddington and John Comer ( Sid from Last Of The Summer Wine) Loved the Mahler music from Castrol GTX and still do so many memories better days thru bleaker times

@Matty112uk 14 лет назад

Great ads!

@districtline 16 лет назад

hehe...Colin Jeavons in the McVities Homewheat...

@Bazariah 16 лет назад

lol im watching these ad's and they seem extremely cheesy today, but they are so much better than the copious amounts of bingo, loans and insurance ads on tv now

@sarahbrummitt4383 10 лет назад

I couldn't agree with you more!

@chinapig71 14 лет назад

@MeMeMeMeMeMeMeMeAndU - no they had some sort of valve that prevented spillage and that made it a bugger to fill it took about 3 days and needed a funnel, a jug and a steady hand.

@darganx 15 лет назад

Isn't that Mrs McCluskey serving that Cheese Hotpot for 'Daddy'?

@knshinn2 4 года назад

Is that Doomwatch's Joby Blanshard in the John Bull home brew ad?

@thanxx 16 лет назад

3:29 in, isnt that PC dave quinnon from out of the bill>???

@KaitainCPS 15 лет назад

I think it's that the dandruff is getting worse. Without continually-improving dandruff technology, we'd all be swimming in a sea of white flakes.

@terryvision42 16 лет назад

wasn't that mrs mcluskey headmaster from grange hill in the cheddar chesse advert?

@jimmy001977 16 лет назад

@TrisStock 13 лет назад

@cultcheese But it is Mrs McCluskey in the cheese advert!

@mistofoles 14 лет назад

Hey, didn't that guy in the McvIties advert play "Solly Atwell", the bent lawyer in the 4th series of ONLY FOOLS AND HORSES?

@UKArchiveTV 15 лет назад

You'll need something like a capture device on your PC (an internal card or an external box) or alternatively a DVD recorder to archive your tapes, from where you can rip to PC. Hit Google and you'll find plenty of explanations. You'll need to spend a bit of money.

@flametop93 15 лет назад

FROM £375!!! The cheapest then! With an "average delay of 20 seconds!" We used to call it GAGFAX as it was such a joke . . .

@lipepjardim 12 лет назад

At 8:26 it's Stitch's voice! =}

@mistofoles 15 лет назад

Thanks, I've seen a piece of equipment called a "VHS/DVD CONVERTOR"..apparently you plug one end into the VCR, and the other end into your PC, and it records the tape onto a disc or something, but it's £39.99!!..is thtis what you mean??

@RoadCone411 16 лет назад

SPPOOOOONNS!

@mistofoles 15 лет назад

OK, can someone please explain to me how to convert old VHS cassettes into a format you can upload on here???

@helenmirrenthe2rd 11 лет назад

carlos from duty free shouting cool .

@mistofoles 15 лет назад

Hey, didn't the guy in the Del Monte advert used to play the waiter in "DUTY FREE"??

@davidmcn 16 лет назад

Nah, that's not Todd Carty. He'd be a bit too young to be passing his test in 1979 anyway, given he was only in about 2nd year at Grange Hill at the time.

@darthmagnum 15 лет назад

Totally agree, the worst cereal ever invented. How did they ever get away with it?

@SeansLipSyncingSock 16 лет назад

If I didn't know better, I'd say they just dropped some breakfast bars into a bowl and poured milk over them! Speaking of which, I rather liked the milk advert.

@TheClownCentral 12 лет назад

out this week and still only 20 pee? lol say what

@kerensaemiliex 11 лет назад

Julia Roberts from QVC on the Woolwich ad. She has not aged well.

Teletext on ITV, gone forever.

@RoadCone411 16 лет назад

Whoops! Yes I am! Sorry! Nothing like getting a bad joke wrong! Bernard Cribbins and Colin Jeavons... I should know better and think before I post!

@Perranporth 11 лет назад

Do I see Mrs McClusky serving up a better bit of Cheddar?

@CragScrambler 12 лет назад

Pye teletext.....the first intetweb lol

@piecesdontfit 16 лет назад

@jwood36 15 лет назад

It looked like her to me alright

@dangale123 14 лет назад

@marts500 Sounds like Robert Powell.

@Chanesmyname 14 лет назад

@UKArchiveTV 15 лет назад

Heh the hair advert showing off the science isn't much different from today

@xxnonstopdancingxx 11 лет назад

Firstly, del monte made me take an instant shit. Second, my iron I hadn't worked since 1985 and third, I'm bald. Coincidence? I think not

@torontoboy45 12 лет назад

I sort of remember a bovril ad featuring mountaneer and bearded wonder chris bonnington telling us all how he climbed the eiger with the help of bovril (as if he took fuck all else and scaling the heights couldn't be done without this ,beefy beverage). odd though: I asked a s/market girl about bovril last yr and she'd never heard of it. it's not advertised anymore. good - it tasted shite anyway,so I'm not sorry.
