Vintage UK Nostalgic & Memorable Adverts (Vol.5) 

Can't recall ever seeing that Unigate ad - the voice sounds familiar. Newspaper commercials were always the ones to fast forward, for sure. Look After Yourself must have been a Public Information Film - these were very popular in the 70s and 80s - looks like it's filmed at Primrose Hill, London. 'Anchor Butter: Spacewalk' (1985/6). Nice 'BT Call Stimulation: Neptune' ad from 1984/5 directed by Paul Weiland. William Franklyn and Paul Eddington in the Qualcast ad. 'Colgate Blue Minty Gel: Baggy Trousers' based on the Madness song - voiceover sounds familiar - one of the DJs of the time I think. Captain Birdseye played by John Hewer from 1967 till 1998. The David Bellamy Heinz Beans ad dates from 1989 - a year later they did one featuring Jonathan Ross. Yes - familiar faces in the Electricity Board ad - swimmer Duncan Goodhew / actor Richard Briers (1989). The lady is familiar - thought it was Jackie Collins but don't think it is. Looks more like Kate O' Mara. 'Golden Shred: Postman' is from 1998/9. 'Gales Honey: Toast Master' (1992/3). 'Kraft Philadelphia Light: Anybody There' (1992/3). There was a whole series of these ads in the late 80s / early 90s - Sara Crowe and Ann Bryson. www.bucksfreepress.co.uk/news/482548.sara-crowe-philadelphia-cheese-advert-made-my-name/ Final ad is 'Super Noodles: Wasted Away' (1998/9)

As a nipper in the 70’s I SO wanted to be in Captain Birdseye’s gang, almost as much as I wanted to be ‘Hornby-sized’ with Bernard Cribbins.

Gosh you know you’re getting old when captain Birdseye no longer looks like an old man but actually rather dashing with his beard!

I Love This.....And your "Back to the Future" TV!

The Noodles ad at the end, I think she was saying something with the single Noodle..hee hee 🤣

Safeway was an epic supermarket. Used to love visiting when I was a kid...the bakery was always my fave 😁 that super noodles advert also brought back memories too...Kim from EastEnders as a young woman!!

Who remembers the Daily Herald newspaper?

That exercise ad! “Roger get back here!” 🤣🤣🤣

Brilliant ads! Loads a my favourites! 👍👍👍👍thanks💋😉

The exercise advert was hilarious, but I'm sure it would be complained about today, oh well. The Sun being it's hypocritical self again, it's always first with the moralising while it produces sleazy non-news like this. I miss Safeway, was my favourite supermarket back in the day.

"The She-Males of the 70s." Boy, that sure aged like fine milk.

In my day, there was 2 post deliveries

Who remembers Qualcast lawnmowers

'a lot less bovver than a hover'... awesome I remember that so much

Captain Birdseye is called Captain Iglo in Holland, Germany and France, and the italians call him Capitan Findus. And the UK have another famous captain, and that is Captain Sensible! And the Americans have captain Kirk!

Happy times 😁

Im pretty sure that the girl in the last ad , plays Kim in Eastenders . Love the videos by the way, brings back so many memories.

The actors went on to be tv stars

Bill "Arthur Fowler" Treacher advertising frozen veg

So, someone here can likely finally answer a question for me, I hope. What exactly is "pickle"? Some people tell me it's like chutney or relish, but it's not something you get in the US, so I have no way to know for myself. It's so funny to see how British people mow their lawns. American lawn mowers, other than the ones you walk behind are really big. The ones here in this video look like they're made of plastic. I didn't see one like that in the US until the last couple of decades. Bird's Eye is also in the US, but they don't sell anything other than frozen vegetables stateside, as far as I can find out. I love how the UK, even back then, seemed to actually care about the planet. I miss Safeway. It hasn't been in most US states for decades.

Ah yes, the Flymo/Qualcast wars. Things got quite bitchy.

My nephew did an advert with Cilla black for Cadbury dairy milk chocolate I have looked everywhere for the ad and can't find it he steps from a train and puts chocolate in Cillas mouth be nice to see as he passed away a few years ago

Gah! The woman in the Moulinex ad looks too much like Liz Truss for comfort (though it doesn't mention pork markets, so that's good). Is that a very young Nicola Stapleton in the Crosse and Blackwell boxed soups ad?

I have seen a flymo take off

Hello can anybody out there tell me the year the British Telecom advert with the sea giant playing with the ship came out please???

Can you tell the difference between stork and butter?

Good old days.......MEN TALK ABOUT THE WOMAN WOMAN TALK ABOUT THE MEN. ITS ALL, ALL OF IT IN THE SUN

Who owned a space hopper and a gonk

Does anybody know the name of the actor as the dog in the health ad Please?? Been tryin to find out for Ages! 😭

Did anyone have a treehouse?

Bonduelle? Nope, don’t remember them.

The Philadelphia cheese commercials annoyed me. I thought Sara and Ann acted pretty silly in them.
