UK Thames advertisements - Thursday 25th December 1986 pt. 3

That piece in the British Coal one was also used in the 'Alton Towers' ads of the 1990s/early 2000s.

Stripe 25 - Surely this is it? One minute, 13 seconds in.

I am looking for a video of a coal advert from britain when there was classical music in the background and these toys started getting up and dancing around any ideas send me a message

[lurch721]

God that Coke advert puts me in a diabetic coma

[ianhawdon]

Colgate one reminds me of the Kia-ora adverts!

[SheriffTankStoner]

The Twiglet Zone? Cor Blimey, what distilled whippet shite that is

[NevadaFM]

My god, i was only 5 when these adverts aired, but i can still remember every single one!

[stoob1969]

you'd think that Selfridges would have spend more than 50p on their advert

[mistofoles]

I didn't really get the point they were trying to make in the Coke advert.

[NikkiClo]

The toys coming alive ad is creepy!

[majabl]

I was four at the time and I remember that advert! I don't remember being scared by it, but I do remember being very curious about how it had been made.

[agfagaevart]

What's more scary is, some people can't even afford to put their fire on! Thank you British Gas.

[mistofoles]

Yeah, but you just KNEW that was going to happen, didn't you!

[stripe25]

@NikkiClo what ad was that i am looking for it

[appleguy]

I used to think those colgate toothpastes were cool as a kid. I was seven at the time

[RobinCarmody]

This must be the first year Debenhams used that style of ad (which they still used at Christmas 1988) - in 1985 they'd still been using the style of ad in use since at least 1982 (it's in one of co12006ie's uploads, I think).

[scottandrewsykes]

Why would toothpaste be a party?- I cant get over some of these ads- lol

[JayFirestorm]

Haha, I can't imagine any kid saying like "Mommy, can you get me some Colgate" so he can be 'hip' and 'cool' like the kids on the advert!! =)
