Thames Television junction 1988 (02.05.88)

[fredintheshed1]

Sarah Greene doing a coffee ad. Lol

Dont seem that long ago

[crugee]

I haven't seen those adverts since they were on TV back then in 1988, but it seems like only yesterday, I remember some of them so vividly...weird!

[SuperMG1980]

LOL, can't believe it's the Daisy Duck Dance at the start! That is so random, I still get teased by my mum and sister because I saw this as a kid and got up and started doing the Daisy Duck dance where she does the side to side pointy thing after seeing it on TV and I'm 30 now!

[chubbylilloser85]

bet that fiat is worth about £150 nowadays on ebay lol

[chubbylilloser85]

MY god, can you imagine the uproar now if they showed the cartoon of donald duck smoking with a holder... lol

[MachineGun28]

That Fiat is fucking shit!

[fraserkatie]

"I say , what happened to Number Six?" "I think he's a bit chicken" LOL great advert that one and well worth the memory!

[jdog34505]

thats what i love about youtube, these are the kind of vids u cant find anywhere else:)

[yourstrulyloved]

who knew daisy duck was such a saucy duck?

[BillyIsATwat23]

McDonalds Chicken Nuggets, Nescafe Coffee (made by everyone's favorite baby killing Swiss multi-national company), Angel Delight and (LOL) Kellogs Start! It's like a shit food convention! I think I'm gonna be sick...

[simonpenum]

AAAAH but Nescafe is only deadly when one doesn't Magic the beans! There's a clear warning in the advert

[BillyIsATwat23]

Do some research.

If Nestle were doing in Europe what they are doing with their baby milk marketing in Africa and Asia they would be shoot down and people jailed.

But the fact is that because it's just 3rd world children and families no one gives a shit.

[sunshineboi0783]

Whats a TV Junction?

[Woollylinnet]

A junction is simply the sequence of adverts, trailers or continuity that link the end of one programme with the beginning of the next.

[JonnyInfinite]

wow the mcnuggets ad!!

[kungfujiapple]

fraserkatie, I think your sister was born in 1984.

[fraserkatie]

@kungfujiapple She was! In May of 1984!

[kitch77]

If I had a quid for every time I banged one out over Sarah Greene i'd be a very rich man.

[JonnyInfinite]

5:12 - matrix

[fraserkatie]

Just thought this is on my sister's birthday! LOL! She was four years old when these adverts were shown!

[caturn88]

I remember those little mcNugget fuckers

[airliebirddownunder]

Sarah Greene....a million British men of a certain age go OOOOoooooOOOOOOoooooo.... and a pool table at Hull University is 'allegedly' a part of your history. *sigh*

[bennjr]

I LOVE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. Great movie and cast.

[smartamateur]

Could you post the whole Down and Out with Donald Special?

[jmonkfische]

Do you have any more of that movie at all? Looks cheesy lol

[AnsellsBrewery]

Telethon '88. Remember the eye bags on Michael Aspel? Not a pretty sight.

[AnsellsBrewery]

Ah, yes. Oracle seemed so cutting edge back then. Can you believe that you could receive LIVE football scores which were updated every two minutes? And you can check the weather forecast whenever you wanted aswell. Talk about tomorrow's world.

[AntarcticaTelevision]

I'm posting to commemorate the fact that it was 20 years ago today that this was broadcast - my and it's my favourite "end of tape" find!

[weirdnetwork]

Great clip and lots of memories but I have to ask did anyone else smile slightly at the name "danny ponce"?

[Jantek36]

Mentions of Oracle and the classic 'McNuggets Away' advert - memories! And Sarah Greene... ;)

[robertgray]

anyone else see the new king of the jungle - christopher biggin sin that dramaramaclip? and the guy fronm bird, bremner and fortune!

who was the boy in the nescafe clip?

[disneyfan85]

"I Want a New Duck" is performed by Weird Al Yankovic and is a parody of "I Want a New Drug" by Huey Lewis.

[treffynnon19]

Ted May voices the Dramarama trail whilst I think it's Joanna Kaye presenting the trail for ITV Telethon '88.

[JasonC1782]

Nope, it's Emma Freud - as she hosted the Thames Telethon '88 opt with Jim Davidson.

[SimonDolan]

No doubt the Fiat Uno later suffered from rotten door bottoms, dodgy central locking motors, leaking cam carrier gasket, worn synchro on reserve/3rd/2nd (it was a 70SX) and the ashtray at the front will have gone missing also.

[AntarcticaTelevision]

I don't believe it. I look away from YouTube a couple of days, and my most popular (with other users) videos' comments are filled with spam messages!!! (I've just deleted them all).

[SteffersG]

I remember most of these ads....loved the chicken nuggets advert for Macdonalds....eventhough I had never had it at the time...And did anyone else notice Nicola Stapelton from Bad Girls/Eastenders in the Angel Delight advert???

[wayzotoichi]

and she was from simon and the witch...(Children's BBC)

[adrian795]

The McD's advert resembles a bizarre parody of Operation Market Garden (ie a Bridge Too Far).

[filmnet]

That was a bizarre advert which was played all the time! Jolly pieces of chicken nuggets falling in sauce, and happy at waiting to be eaten. Maybe one of the first instances of the misspelling "barbeque".

[fraserkatie]

Oh my god I remember that McDonalds advert! I loved it!!!!!!! Yay!

[Stereolabdream]

I used to magic my beans every Saturday morning over Sarah Greene back in 83-84. She seems a bit "prissy" looking back now though.

[mrslmathers]

Ah, I haven't seen that Start ad for yeeaaars!!

Why was that housewife in the Ariel ad so 'important'?!

[DerAdventurer]

OmG Goldie Memories! Loved it! 6 stars!

[armbar]

nuggets awaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy

[jexplink]

I wonder did Daisy give Donald the leg over in the end......

[onforward]

anybody know where i can get all of Down and Out with Donald Duck?

[wayzotoichi]

I won the McChicken Nuggets placemats in a "say no to strangers" competition in 1987..great memories!!

[pipoo1]

Sarah Greene, god how many people had a crush on her in the 80s?

Wallows in old schoolboy fantasy...

[simonwells247]

same here she was hot sarah greene. the saturdays mornings on bbc that made day just seeing her on their. and werid was only 8 years old.

[therezabizarre]

i hate to tell you this but that is not jason donovan lol it really is not it s another man he is rather attractive though muchbetter built than our jason but these tv breaks are fab i have to say..

[mononokehime316uk]

great I was 4 on the 2nd May 88 and remember the chicken nugget ad. Sarah Greene what a fox.

[fraserkatie]

@mononokehime316uk My sister was four years old on the 2nd May 1988! Very ironic!

[wrestlingnewsdesk]

i like that mcdonalds advert i been looking for that great! "what happen to number 6 ? i think he's a bit chicken..

i remember that when it was on tv.Thanks.

[RobinCarmody]

Shortly after Thames had dropped in-vision continuity other than overnight, and continued to use their classic ident but in a different way. The Clarks ad is immensely psychologically revealing of an old monolith lost in the new 51st State.

[lostinbass4]

dramarama was the buisness!

[KevCityboy]

I didn't know Nestle Milkybar Buttons are only 19 years old

[KevCityboy]

I remember that McDonald's ad - just! I was only three then though lol

[mason642]

thats great. many thanks.

[KevCityboy]

This is great

[AntarcticaTelevision]

Thanks. I originally found this towards the end of a tape in the late 90s, before my enthusiasm for this kind of stuff had not yet been cememented. So, when my fascination for old continuity/adverts etc. was established, I remembered that I had this!

[KevCityboy]

Nice one!

[mason642]

please upload what continuity and adverts you have.

thanks.

[AntarcticaTelevision]

I'll do my best, but be warned I'll be a bit slow.

[mason642]

very good clip, any more continuity, adverts soaps and gameshow clips.

[AntarcticaTelevision]

I have some more continuity/adverts, but not a lot; but I intend to upload what I've got.
