Back when colaminers mined coal and football supporters looked like Max Bygraves, women ate, 'real', bread whilst hot-air balloon gliding, women in black and white cycled to see some old bloke get off a train and, 'on the buses', got its own colour suplement in the TV Times!
If the Chanel commercial had been shown after the introduction of decimal currency in 1971, it would have said "Chanel, from three hundred pounds (£300) to three pounds (and) ninety-five (new pence) (£3.95)" instead of "three pounds nineteen (£3/19/-)".
At 1:39 - Trials of Dr Zorog's new execution method, known as the "balloon-noose" ended badly, when the doctor forgot to account for prevailing winds.
When I was a wee boy, I thought Fanny Craddock was a man dressed up in drag. And those's two men in drag Hinge and Bracket were women. God i was innocent then. Mind you I was 7. I agree about the Miners. Real men who lived and worked a hard life, like my Father, my 2 Grandfathers ect. Thatcher burn in hell.
There's just something about these ads that reminds me that ordinary people were the important ones then. People all had more or less the same. And this was ok
That Inter city ad looks like it's filmed at Coventry Station. As for the Australia ad...well, Valley of the Dolls! Awww...Tufty. I remember him well.
@RobinCarmody to quote Pink Floyd, "Whatever happened to the post-war dream?" I think Cov station is Grade 2 listed. I spent many times waiting over an hour just to get 8 miles down the rails to Leamington. :D
Oh my god, Willie was hurt "because he didn't take mummy with him" - how about, Willy's mummy didn't teach him to look both ways before he crossed the road.
@moltennimrod Exactly what I thought! However, was that ad public service? I was a little confused by talking squirrels, weasels, and little buildings.
Ahhhh, such sweet memories. I just once wished Johnny could have said the immortal line... 'Follow these instructions and all your doughnuts will turn out like Fannie's'.
Ahhh! Ads from my childhood. Certainly better than the shows from that era. So unsophisticated compared to the some of the clinical, cynical and too scientific ads now.
The company I presently work for, did the filming and owned the balloons. Ironically, over the last week, a team of us has been cutting up the old balloons from storage. They wouldn't have flown again as the material had perished. Company is still going strong though as we moved on to motion pictures and helicopter work.
@gallafey to right mate ..back in the days when you could leave school and start work in a mans world...good times no matter what...soon decimated by Thatchers mob...treacherous bitch and her spite completely wasted whole communities..now the same party are back in power and calling the very men that she put out of work scroungers...get everyone off welfare and into work!!! begs the question..what work?
@gallafey "There's a 'Woman's World' in Australia.........There's a 'Practical Motorist' in Papua New Guinea......There's a 'National Geographic' in Malaysia....Yes, magazines. The joke I'm doing is based largely on magazines.
love the chanel commerical!! the music is so cool. And when was the last time you saw a pretty woman like that in a commercial; with an actual hairstyle...and hair!?
Can anyone remember an advert for a food (I guess about 1970 ish) that was based in the middle ages, with 2 peasants turning a spit over a fire and one saying "one day there will be all flavours of roasted meats in little boxes" and the other guy replying "oh yes? and one day man will land on the moon." I am beginning to wonder if anyone else remembers it and what the product was. Can anyone help.
i thought i was going mad also it comes into my head every now and again, but alas i cant remember the product either. I am going to hunt it down, now
Stop,Look and Listen was drummed into me at an early age in the 70's-and the roads were far less busy then than they are now!Who is telling today's kids anything about road safety???
Nice that Fanny knows the correct grammar, "come & join Johnny and me each week.." not "Johnny and I.." as so many people are convinced is the right way. Great so see the Nimble ad again.
Lots of people get that one wrong, I hear it on TV and see it written in newspapers all the time. I'm glad there is someone else out there that can spot it too!!!
I believe it was actually "I hope your jam doughnuts all turn out like Fanny's." Fanny Craddock was an utter bitch who got her comeuppance after reducing a woman to tears on live TV by deriding her cooking. That was the end of Fanny's TV career.
I see Tufty's STILL living with his Mum. She's only agreed to go to the ice cream van so she can get 20 Regal King Size.
All together now, "She flies like a bird in the sky-i,i,i..."
love them all. the ice cream van add shud come back, that was a very good add to stop kids goin on their own, the addswere so much better them days keep them comin plz
I'd pay good money for that On The Buses supplement
I imagine the Australia advert was in response the a Focus group finding women perceived the country as being lacking in shiny sparkly things and therefore unattractive as a domicile
..good grief..its come to this!i am not only turning into my dad,(no pipe & slippers please)!!i remember all these ads like they were yesterday,still fresh in my (tiny) mind,but where has the innocence gone?in todays society,we would all be classed as this that or the other!!..and i am NOT the other!..good post,great memories..
anyone recognise anna karen(olive from 'off the buses') at 4.28? she was a tasty bird was anna,very different from the speccy dowdy bint she played at the time in otb. i saw her a few times in the fanny mags in the 70's,stripped off,she was well worth another look.
i dunno what jazz mags u were looking at mate , she was ropey. but im guessing if you were looking at jazz mags in 1970 u must be nearly 70 nown then i suppose any bird in a skirt will do ??
well how do you form an opinion of anna karen in the 70's unless you looked at her nude pics too pal? you must have bad eyesight cos she was a sexy chick was anna at that time.you'd have had trouble finding her zips and hooks so she'd have waited for the experts like me to do the biz for her! but you could've watched!
Pre-decimalisation "Off-peak returns can you save upto 4 bob in the £". The perfect voiceovers had authority, the imaging and the production were excellent. Now look what we've got post-Thatcher.
A faceworker, an underground man, a skilled craftsman. All of these professions were eventually made extinct by Maggie Thatcher in the name of "progress". Mike S.
Don't forget it was the Miners who held the Country to ransom, plunged us into darkness and cost other peoples jobs becasue they had the power to do so. There fate was sealed when they started to blackmail the British people.
What trades are now left in this country? Thatcher started this - Blair and his cohorts have seen to it that we produce nothing! Skilled workers are a thing of the past - cheap immigrant labour is the bread and butter of the ruling elite - Britain and the British people mean nothing to the rotten, marxist led corrupt government & PC brigade! I hated Thatcher, but what I feel for these traitors far surpasses hatred!
@MerlinsTempest2223 You prat! You think Thatcher's a Marxist? Blair? Brown? You sick, fascist.
P.S. I notice you didn't complain about Australia ASKING people from this country, to go there. It's all right for us to emigrate, in your tiny mind but it's not all right for people to come here. I'd rather have a whole country of immigrants than people like you.
How the hell can you say it's o-k for thousands of immigrants to come to country with no work, no industry and no hope?? (Unless of course you want to join the Islamic radical club)
@Thewizard22uk Firstly, it's "go AND join" or is your head so far up Uncle Sam's arse you want to use Americanisms rather than English. Secondly, you clearly don't know what a fascist is, nor how to spell it. Finally, consider what I told the other nazi, to be directed at you as well.
@2079423644 I'm sorry that you got the impression that I'm anti-American, as I assure you that's not the case. I was simply pointing out to a fascist, the irony of him/her using an American term i.e. "Go join" rather than the accepted English "Go and join", when he/she clearly hate all foreigners.
No worries! I was curious about the "Americanisms" from your point of view. Sadly, the English language has been butchered on this side of the pond. It is refreshing to see that people still care about preserving its proper use. The dislike for foreigners is a global issue;also very strong in many pockets of the US as in Arizona with the recent dispute re: illegal Mexicans there. We are a land of immigrants - a "melting pot" if you will but today there is no tolerance.
@2079423644 The USA is the most successful country in the world and was, indeed bulit on immigration but I can't seem to make some people in my country understand that. Our very language, Germanic in origin, has been influenced by Latin, French, Scandinavian languages, Dutch etc but the Fascists don't want to know about that. As long as there are tolerant people, like yourself, in this world, then there's hope for us all.
Yes, tolerance goes a long way, but it's not exactly a black and white issue, (no pun intended). There are variables and scenarios making up the layers of grey in between. I believe much of the intolerance comes from fear in these hard economic times. People are uptight today! They look to a source or group to lay blame and anger, and perhaps in hopes it may lead to a fix. Right wing, Fascists- not my thing. I don't need my trains to run on time with Mussolini control!
@2079423644 The scary thing is , they - the fascists, won't have any idea what you were talking about! Trains? Mussolini? What are those commies talking about?
@KittyKattyYukiLvr Hey, I'm amazed that you found my comment., it was so long ago. Yes i take your point and it's good to know but I DOOOO wish people wouldn't say it all the same.
@AndBobsYourUncle1 lol. this is so, so untrue it is laughable. bet you can'y
tsubstantiate your ineprt tirade witha ny concrete fact./figures/reports. truth is, we are indebted to migrant workers, wake up and smell the coffee my friend. hope this helps,
The number one name for boys born in London the last couple years is Muhammad. They are populating at alarming rates and have a vicious agenda. Wait and see. In the meantime, watch your public transportation. KABOOM!
@AndBobsYourUncle1 maybe we should look at our own behavoiur rather than blaming poor immigrants who are keeping this county going. fact one english woman locally stated in the press she would need £60,000 a year for it to be worth coming off benefites. think on this my friend
@MerlinsTempest2223 and see what Blair and his chums did to: Rover, ERF, Foden, Ford (Great Britain), Electrolux, Vauxhall, and loads of other companies that have gone for ever. When in Boston (USA) in 2005, I was asked 'What did I think of Prime Minister Blair?' I replied 'I rather not thank you!' He looked as if I came from another world. Blair was a smarmy git. His band of thugs did not give a toss about anything accept power. May they rot in hell!
I must agree with you there, there is a certain lush quality to it, beautiful woman with some nicely realised camerawork along with a rather lush soundtrack. It is highly doubtful whether ad agencies could come up with this kind of work nowadays, everything is so mixed and matched.
"Join the men in mining". Who'd have thought Mrs Thatcher would shut 'em all down a few years later. Bitch.

well how do you form an opinion of anna karen in the 70's unless you looked at her nude pics too pal? you must have bad eyesight cos she was a sexy chick was anna at that time.you'd have had trouble finding her zips and hooks so she'd have waited for the experts like me to do the biz for her! but you could've watched!

I was 4 in 1970 and the Nimble advert was the first ad I ever remember, even the lyrics.

Pre-decimalisation "Off-peak returns can you save upto 4 bob in the £". The perfect voiceovers had authority, the imaging and the production were excellent. Now look what we've got post-Thatcher.

Don't forget it was the Miners who held the Country to ransom, plunged us into darkness and cost other peoples jobs becasue they had the power to do so. There fate was sealed when they started to blackmail the British people.

What trades are now left in this country? Thatcher started this - Blair and his cohorts have seen to it that we produce nothing! Skilled workers are a thing of the past - cheap immigrant labour is the bread and butter of the ruling elite - Britain and the British people mean nothing to the rotten, marxist led corrupt government & PC brigade! I hated Thatcher, but what I feel for these traitors far surpasses hatred!

@MerlinsTempest2223 You prat! You think Thatcher's a Marxist? Blair? Brown? You sick, fascist.
P.S. I notice you didn't complain about Australia ASKING people from this country, to go there. It's all right for us to emigrate, in your tiny mind but it's not all right for people to come here. I'd rather have a whole country of immigrants than people like you.

@williamkanegateshead Go join the UAF you facist PC Brainwashed idiot!
How the hell can you say it's o-k for thousands of immigrants to come to country with no work, no industry and no hope?? (Unless of course you want to join the Islamic radical club)
It's people like YOU that's ruined this country.

@Thewizard22uk Firstly, it's "go AND join" or is your head so far up Uncle Sam's arse you want to use Americanisms rather than English. Secondly, you clearly don't know what a fascist is, nor how to spell it. Finally, consider what I told the other nazi, to be directed at you as well.

I'm trying to figure to what "Americanisms" you refer. ??? Don't be so hard on US - we are allies after all.
2079423644 1 year ago
@2079423644 I'm sorry that you got the impression that I'm anti-American, as I assure you that's not the case. I was simply pointing out to a fascist, the irony of him/her using an American term i.e. "Go join" rather than the accepted English "Go and join", when he/she clearly hate all foreigners.

@williamkanegateshead
No worries! I was curious about the "Americanisms" from your point of view. Sadly, the English language has been butchered on this side of the pond. It is refreshing to see that people still care about preserving its proper use. The dislike for foreigners is a global issue;also very strong in many pockets of the US as in Arizona with the recent dispute re: illegal Mexicans there. We are a land of immigrants - a "melting pot" if you will but today there is no tolerance.
2079423644 1 year ago
@2079423644 The USA is the most successful country in the world and was, indeed bulit on immigration but I can't seem to make some people in my country understand that. Our very language, Germanic in origin, has been influenced by Latin, French, Scandinavian languages, Dutch etc but the Fascists don't want to know about that. As long as there are tolerant people, like yourself, in this world, then there's hope for us all.
williamkanegateshead 1 year ago
@williamkanegateshead
Yes, tolerance goes a long way, but it's not exactly a black and white issue, (no pun intended). There are variables and scenarios making up the layers of grey in between. I believe much of the intolerance comes from fear in these hard economic times. People are uptight today! They look to a source or group to lay blame and anger, and perhaps in hopes it may lead to a fix. Right wing, Fascists- not my thing. I don't need my trains to run on time with Mussolini control!

@2079423644 The scary thing is , they - the fascists, won't have any idea what you were talking about! Trains? Mussolini? What are those commies talking about?

@2079423644 I don't mind Immigrants as long as they're not Illegal aliens! If you want to immigrate do it legally.

@williamkanegateshead Go and join is considered proper in American English too. ^.^ Go join is used but isn't correct syntax in, say, a paper.

@AndBobsYourUncle1 maybe we should look at our own behavoiur rather than blaming poor immigrants who are keeping this county going. fact one english woman locally stated in the press she would need £60,000 a year for it to be worth coming off benefites. think on this my friend

@MerlinsTempest2223 and see what Blair and his chums did to: Rover, ERF, Foden, Ford (Great Britain), Electrolux, Vauxhall, and loads of other companies that have gone for ever. When in Boston (USA) in 2005, I was asked 'What did I think of Prime Minister Blair?' I replied 'I rather not thank you!' He looked as if I came from another world. Blair was a smarmy git. His band of thugs did not give a toss about anything accept power. May they rot in hell!

I must agree with you there, there is a certain lush quality to it, beautiful woman with some nicely realised camerawork along with a rather lush soundtrack. It is highly doubtful whether ad agencies could come up with this kind of work nowadays, everything is so mixed and matched.
