Dixcel Toilet Tissue: Milage Test (1979/80) - v/o by William Franklyn - directed by Bryan Byfield. The Happies Shoes ad was apparently 1974 - I'm sure she did more than one commercial for this product. Stork Margarine: Supermum (1977). Sekonda Watches: Copacabana Beach (1976/7) directed by Bob Bierman. Anchor New Zealand Butter - one of the 'Seaside' ads from 1980. A year later they did a similar one called 'Zoo'. Bill Oddie voicing the cat in the Thomson ads. Lurpak Butter: Scuba Diver (1986/7) directed by Peter Lord and David Sproxton. Music by Peter Skellern. Kimberly-Clark Kimwipes (1985/6) directed by Jerry Hibbert. V/o sounds like Anton Rodgers. Fiesta Kitchen Paper: Origami (1986/7) directed by Mike Cozens. v/o by Herbert (Bert) Kwouk. Dulux: Colour Options (1989/90) directed by Maxine Tabak. Philadelphia Light: Ladies Club directed by Alan Orpin (1989/90). Blonde actress is Sara Crowe.

wow - thank you :)

@RetroSteveUK Год назад

Gareth, I've started working back through my videos and pinning your comments with the useful information. Been meaning to do this for a little while now. There are a lot of videos to go through, but I'll do them a handful at a time so they'll all get done eventually and any you do in future will be pinned. Don't take this as a pressure to provide that info in the future, just do it if you still feel like doing it. I'll pin any info lists you do on future videos. Thanks for the research. 👍

@garethbramley1 Год назад

Good idea! I've only really been checking one (sometimes 2) source as it takes much longer, as you know, to check others. When I researched the clips on 'Obsolete Archive' I used 4/5 sources but sometimes some were unavailable. Also, as you will see if you look on the channel, they are single clips so took less time. I have a lot of info on 60s / 70s / 80s ads that interested me but it's scattered about and I can't possibly remember it. If you do a Pepsi compilation I will find my info and comment with full details. I will say that anything outside the 80s is really outside my remit and I only bother to comment if it's a special ad or of interest. And there are a few gems, especially those by Ridley Scott (RSA Films) and a few others. As for modern ads (say 2000 onwards) - I'm afraid I don't bother to look unless one hits me in the face because it has a certain actor or actress. Jingles seemed to end after the 80s - to be replaced by pop songs (just like cinema films) so they became less interesting.😀

@RetroSteveUK Год назад

@@garethbramley1 Right, that's interesting. I wondered how you were able to grab the info. Any you can / want to do .. it's all good. Don't feel duty bound though. As for the eras, my hard and fast rule is if it's pre-widescreen it can be included, (although I am a LITTLE selective even if that criterion is followed.)

@garethbramley1 Год назад

I found that a lot of the 'titles' were listed on one particular site but I've not looked for months and months now as it was often down and a lot of the 80s ones were not there. They do not list voiceovers (apart from the odd one) so it's a case of relying on one's listening skills. I recognise a lot more voiceovers but can't put names to them.

Findus crispy pancakes! Oh man, I loved those as a kid. My nan would always get some in every weekend for when I stayed there. They was my favourite thing to eat. My favourites was the mince, and they also did a curry flavoured one at some point that I loved. Jeez, it's been a long time since I seen those. I wonder if they still make them. I'm getting online straight away. 😂

They do still make them but like most things now they pale in comparison to the ones back in the day.

@OofusTwillip Год назад

The Findus brand was killed by the 2016 horsemeat scandal, in which many ready meals by various companies were discovered to contain undeclared horsemeat in addition to (or instead of) the beef stated on the label. Analysis found that Findus Beef Lasagne contained only horsemeat, no beef at all. This, and other Findus meals containing undeclared horsemeat, was so scandalous that the owner of the Findus brand decided the brand was too damaged to continue.

You added some PIF's (Public Information films) in there. Do you have a collection of these to make up for a video? Growing up I found many of the PIFs pretty scary. The Government didn't always create new ones either. I remember some that were shown in the mid 80's that were definitely made in 70's! Many had a distinctive sound, as they would generally play the video first, with the sound kicking in a second or two later! The most memorable for me were the PIFs about Rabies, and the Aids 'Don't die of ignorance' PIF.

@RetroSteveUK Год назад

I generally don't come across enough for a standalone compilation, so I've been sticking them in the Nostalgic & Memorable category, which is basically just "Miscellaneous" to be honest.

I can't get hold of anything in particular, it's just whatever turns up, but if you're after a particular advert, all my compilations are chapter marked with product names. On my channel page (computer only - not mobile devices) there's a small search bar that will search my channel only, and it searches through the chapter markers. That might turn up stuff you're looking for if it's already on a compilation.
