0:55 lol

[Mancunian1001]

9.24: spot the Greater Manchester Transport Training Bus in the TV Times advert. Blink and you may miss it! The GMT Leyland Atlantean: another 1980s icon within another icon that is the TV Times magazine. How I miss the days when you had to buy separate telly mags for the BBC and ITV. :-)

Danepak Bacon Grills ad features John Otway

[RobinCarmody]

David Jensen voices for Let's Hear It From The Girls, Ian Holm (I think) for the first Black and Decker ad (though not the second one), Tony Blackburn for Maxwell House. The TV Times ad looks like 24-30 May 1986.

[dangale]

Thanks, that's very useful info. I'll add it to to the description.

[JonnyInfinite]

@RobinCarmody also Robbie Coltrane for the N and P ad

[dickyhart]

whicker always did ads with humour

[caxtonman]

Yes, trouble with those Danepack Cheesies is they burn't the roof of your mouth without warning!!!!! Smell the searing flesh....

[Lexum2]

Danepack Bacon-Cheesies - Umm, nice. i can still smell them!

[steerpike66]

GOD wasn't Alan Whicker grotesque: with his breast hanky, brilliatined hair, gold-buttoned blazer and beige slacks, he exemplified the awful British man of the 70s.

[steerpike66]

I think that the voice in the falling van Danepack ad is Ian (House of Cards) Richardson (RIP) and Leo McKern (Rumpole) pops up later.

[steerpike66]

Do NOT stop posting these ad-breaks; they are a better, more evocative reflection of the time than most of the film and TV. And they'll be lost otherwise; I'm enthralled.

[districtline]

That DBM ad is great...

[Milijungres]

Brilliant !

[mrslmathers]

Ha, used to love the Skol ones!

And isn't that Aveline from Bread in the, er, bread ad?
