You certainly know how to keep me busy Steve! The well-known Campari ad aired in 1977/8 and was titled 'Nice Colour Ennit (Luton Airport'?)'. It was directed by Vernon Howe and the other actor is Jeremy Clyde. Patrick Mower in the famous Babycham ad ('Floating Party' - 1976). Heineken uses 'Ordinary Copper' music - the theme from 'Dixon Of Dock Green'. One of the many Jeeves & Wooster Croft Original ads which ran during the 70s and into the early 80s. Another one of the great Holsten Pils ads - this one from 1983/4. Heineken ad is from 1983 - 'Snow Business' directed by Bob Brooks - jingle is a re-orchestrated version of Cliff Adams' original theme ' Night Rider'. McEwan's Lager 'Escher' dated 1986/7 directed by Paul Weiland - original ad was a bumper 2 minutes!!!! I've never heard of some of these products! too many lager ads if you ask me - bloody awful stuff. Harp Standard Lager - 'Randy' - 1989/90 directed by Graham Hackney. Gaymer's Cider using the original song 'How Long' sung by Ace. Copperhead Cider - 'Rookie' - 1989/90 dire ted by Syd MacCartney.

A treasure trove of trivia, as always. 😁👍

@garethbramley1 Год назад

If I had more time I could find more. BTW I found out from someone why some comments disappear. Apparently YT do not like more than one comment per person or comments showing links. Not sure if this is all links or just non YT ones. So I'll avoid any links as may cause comments to disappear so all then a complete waste of time. Bloody YT. 😔

@RetroSteveUK Год назад

@@garethbramley1 That's odd, and annoying.

@COIcultist Год назад

Great trivia. What was the original Dixon Of Dock Green theme tune? Just to aid sensible debate YT banned all non YT links, however individual content creators can also ban YT links as well.

@garethbramley1 Год назад

Yes, and I'm sure channel owners can delete any comments too - if they so desire.

@Louisejames23 Год назад

So glad they changed the advert laws so we aren’t tempted to get pissed every night these days 😏. Just gamble our cash away instead ! Thanks RetroSteve, these are great memories 😊

A good point, well made! 🤣👍

@Outspoken.Humanist Год назад

I recall all of the adverts and tried all of the drinks, except Kontiki. Never heard of it and certainly never drank it. Often wished I hadn't drunk some of the others, like Skol lager 😁

Campari is disgusting, I know, I've drunk it. But for Lorraine Chase, I'd do anything. Thanks RetroSteve❤

That "Sharp Exit" Harp lager advert was great! 😄 Almost forgotten about that advert. Mickey take on the coffee advert and the added dark humour of the dog jumping out of the window. 😁

@thefrecklepuny Год назад

Fun fact. Lorraine Chase in the Campari ad was often asked to sign the single cover 'Luton Airport' actually sang by the girl band 'Cats'. All because of this ad where she says 'Luton Airport'. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PCYhqYfs8Po.html

@johnfogarty91 Год назад

@@AndrewHalliwell yep. You're correct perry is a pear cider, first cousin of apple cider and no relation at all to champagne but that didn't stop the clever marketing people cheekily representing Babycham as a mini champagne.

Nice one Steve great way to start the weekend! Wondering if the music on the Copperhead ‘Girl in Crane’ one was done by The Art of Noise? Another one that wouldn’t fly today ..

@RetroSteveUK Год назад

Not sure about that if I'm honest. It didn't flag up any copyright claims, so I presumed it was a piece made for the advert.

@monkeymanbob Год назад

Don't make ads like the McEwan's one any more - absolute art.

@RetroSteveUK Год назад

If you mean the one with the big balls, it's the music in that ad that has stayed with me. I remember seeing this in the cinema, too; the music brings back memories of sitting & waiting for the film to start.

@mrpositronia Год назад

Yeah, the Escher ball ad is one of the best ads ever made. So much production value and originality. Companies would never put that much effort or budget in again.

@davewilson9738 Год назад

@El-Ritmo Год назад

What is going on with the music in that Kontiki advert? It sounds like it should be in some 1960s sci-fi film. Haven’t seen that McEwan’s ad in years, I really liked the long version of it. And it jogged a memory of the McEwan’s Export ad with the ventriloquist’s dummy: “Look at the head on that!” Hoping I’ll see that in one of your compilations one day.

@robotmad Год назад

Do you have the 'satellite dish' one ? this was where the guy was fed up with flicking through the terrestrial channels and seeing neighbours, home and away etc on the other channels. So he bought a Satellite dish sat in his chair with his beer only to flick through the satellite channels to find the same programs but dubbed in a foreign language not sure what lager it was advertising though but made me chuckle at the time.

@RetroSteveUK Год назад

Nah, I haven't come across that one yet.

@ianmckenney9080 Год назад

Sadly no Joan Collins/Leonard Rositer classic Martini ads. And wtf was Kontiki. Guinness always made the best ads I reckon 🤪

@dennis8196 Год назад

Joan Sims, and Josie Lawrence is quite a combination. Joan was probably struggling not to grab the glass and down the lot in one - She was struggling with alcoholism and the only job offers she had was for beer! That had to be tough.

@RetroSteveUK Год назад

Not ideal for her. I had no idea she was struggling back then. She was legendary.

@El-Ritmo Год назад

I had been going to comment just this, then I saw you had already done so. In hindsight it’s so uncomfortable to see her in booze adverts (and even more so as the alcoholic character she played in On the Up - “just the one, Mrs Wembley”). Can’t have been easy for her.

@jwb52z9 Год назад

I love commercials where they try to make someone look all posh and then they open their mouths, and they are dead common. I just love phrases like "dead common". American English doesn't have many phrases like that. The Heineken commercial is funny because some people soak their feet in beer now instead of just drinking it. Did that last guy who nearly dropped the glass before the ghost caught it remind anyone else of what Rupert Grint might look like in 25 years? I love the idea of just being able to stick all the annoying people in your life into a cupboard.

@RetroSteveUK Год назад

The 'dead common' thing reminds me of a scene from Educating Rita where she's says "I'm dead f****d" to shock someone. Great film, that.

Not sure why Swan later is being promoted in the UK as being from Sydney when it's local to Perth. They should have advertised Emu Export known here as bush chook.

I’d guess it’s because if they advertised it as being from Perth viewers would think it was Scottish, not Australian.
