CITV IVC and adverts 1990 (12.11.90) (2)

[BelatedCommiseration]

Blimey...I think I probably watched this exact line up in the november on 1990...I forgot all about that dog though. It actually makes me appreciate the money my parents shelled out because I had the whole set of manta force and by the looks of things they weren't cheap...even by todays standards! Heroquest also seems a bit dear and the screaming Goblin at the end made we want to hide behind the settee! You get all these nineties ads and then Sooty seems to come on straight from the seventies!

[David315842]

Thanks for the memories. :)

[RedButton]

"Is it a Gas Bill?"

[Showsni]

Oh, wow. Major, major nostalgia. That Prince Eric with Sebastian in a yellow boat... I had that! I remember it now! And I was three when it came out. Oh, where is it now? It's probably been long thrown away... Oh, wow... I want to find it again...

[BomazXD]

ignore last comment of mine. EVERYTHING IN THIS VIDEO IS LEGEND. its like a suprise present in one. games, awesome cartoons, that dog puppet when puppets were everywhere until Otis the ardvark was the last (RIP puppets) oh and sooty obv! Tell me you didnt just click on this for a laugh then your mouth dropped the more that was shown

[CHUNKIEBOYSKINNY]

I would have been 4 when this was on tv but i remember it

[MattTheSaiyan]

Oh, the Amstrad GX4000. If the non-release of the exciting Konix Multisystem damaged the dream of a successful British console, it died outright with the flop of Amstrad's well-meaning but doomed system.

[martin247]

Brooooooaaadswwoooorrdddd!

[Moondog954]

ah the good old days lol

[poalo656]

My god I used to have that flounder from the mcdonalds happy meals lol

[kbm11213]

Oh my gosh, seriously when I just saw Sooty come on after the adverts, my face was this: :O < I miss the days when I used to watch Sooty. :( Why are there no good shows for kids anymore?

[Dogtanian]

SOOTY! <3

[Weepiest]

awesome video. manta force ftw!

[Comrade66]

OMG thats our old microwave oven at 4:47,

just got rid of it after all these years

[Lebowsk1]

Fire of muthafuckin Wrath, ya hear?!?!

[duffydarkside]

I still love the Dreamstone.

I have all the videos and the DVD.......

[nicksynet]

the mcdonald advert is funny and the kids meal nugget one it said they give you six its 4 now lol

[VideoFreakerz]

I remember that hero quest thing lol, and I loved the dreamstone.......watching this was like being a kid again, thanks ;)

[hellviewsbitch]

hahah then nobs playing hero quest!!!!

[rayblack2004]

i'll use ma broad sord LOL

[jamesjenko]

That poor dog was all matted and thin, very Citv. Cbbc would never have neglected an animal that way. As for that fairy advert, talk about getting straight to the point! And was that Joanna Lumley doing the talking on it?

[BadInfluenceWebsite]

"Well Soo, it's..."

We'll never know now. lol.

[phillitupp]

I watched this exact show i was 5 years old at the time you know when you have goose bumps when you see something familiar it was like the whole video pounded me with old memories thank you

Does anyone remember Live & Kicking ???

[BennysHomeBrewBeer]

Yeah i had GX4000 for christmas about 18 years ago with burning rubber. It broke within a week thou!

[Ironlord2015]

"Is it a gas bill?" ha ha, that made me laugh, probably more than it did back in the day as I used to love watching this. Happy Days :-D I own a GX4000 too which my mate won in a competition at one of our (then) local game shops. The console ended up being mine some weeks later as my mate said summat like "it's a load of shit" lol. I still have it all boxed up etc, but it no longer works, it is a collectors item though so I won't part with it :-D But i'm a horder too so that adds to it :-D

[Inverdarroch88]

I can't believe that I used to sing the sone in the Honey Nut Loops advert. I would be to embarressed to sing it now.

[djfryer2002]

Matthew Corbett is a legend!

[indyandsam]

The dog is the most bottom-wipingly awful puppet presenter ever. No charisma and tag-nuts like golf balls

[Richie77777]

Back in the days when there were actually board games and toys advertised to kids rather than solely consol games..

[cookiecrumblemonster]

wow. the good days are the best!!

[sapphiresanchez]

I like the honey nut loops advert! also sooty! brings back memories...

[Sessiongirl]

Honey Nut Loops was sung by Carl Wayne (ex The Move) and Stephanie De-Sykes.

[HappyDaze01]

How did you find these?

[Stardancer120781]

omg - what a flashback! Love it!

[zaohragein]

the memories, manta force!

[xenepp]

Amazing! Nearly shed a tear there!

But.. WHAT WAS IT?!

[rayblack2004]

That orc in the heroes quest ad used to scare me! Now I can see that its a dwarf in heavy make up. LOL at sooty joke at the end, class!

[Muffinthraka]

Now THIS I remember, I was nearly six and I remember the dreamstone and all the ads.

[GAMEBOY379]

was the dog called Shaggy??

[DJFairborne77]

No, the dog on "CITV" was called Scally.

[rogerthehat]

i love vintage ads they are class

[cgman2]

Amstrad 464 chips used to make a console just when the snes and megadrive were already out very strange idea.

[Matty112uk]

The GX4000 console, what were Amstrad thinking? Did they think they could really compete with Sega and Nintendo. It wasn't even a 16 bit machine!

[rayblack2004]

LOL!!!

[DJFairborne77]

The SNES wasn't available in the UK until early 1992 & Sega's Megadrive wasn't until around Christmas 1990, so maybe Amstrad thought they had a chance with their GX4000 console? Oh well...

[fredsnightmare]

This makes me feels so old but it brings back memories i had the manta force and the maze lol!!

[jaffaps2]

I'll use my broadsword...flame of wrath! my how times have changed

[SrWilson]

So many memories - I still have my Hero quest board game, and that one that was also big at the time The Key to the Kingdom!

[sonofdorkfan14]

wow this is old i wasnt even born then i don't like the dog though

[maxi937]

I hated this dog!

[Jemeela]

lmao.  Bratz owns them all.

[Fricasso79]

Yeah, I think the world died a little the day someone decided to rhyme 'fashion' with 'passion'.

[rayblack2004]

2.30 YIKES!

[SimonTayki]

my brains just melted.

does anyone one know what that show was on ITV where they had to put a wierd helmet on and walk around inside a computer.

[princelucifer86]

that program was called knightmare

[leemo1982]

Great memories! I'm desperately trying to find Kappatoo. Does anyone have any copies of this? It was on CITV in 1990

[dmxbusta]

thank thank you.... i've been looking for the same program.... classic

[ScrewAttackEurope]

God Damn it!!!1 Why did you end the video there???

Now i'll never know what Matthew had in that envelope!!!!!

[onlynorris]

It cuts out before Matthew tells us what is in the letter? What is it? Is it his test results, the pools results or is it his housing relocation letter?

We will never know.....

[AntarcticaTelevision]

He sent a letter to his brother, who was living in France, so as his brother could send it back to him with a French stamp - for his stamp collection.

[SpinDizzyMR]

2:21 : I USE MY BROADSWORD! lol

Omg, I used to own manta force, but it wasnt that crappy base, I owned this huge ship with loads of men, It was teh awesome.

[dawnbreaks]

i would still kill for that sylvanian windmill. and now some honey nut loops. plus duckula was on later..... bonus

[DJFairborne77]

Great clip of CITV, Scally the dog was a legend! The adverts were good too. The voice-over to the "Hero Quest" ad was done by Christopher Lee, whereas I think the "McDonalds" one was done by Keith Chegwin.

[MoldyPotato1]

Honey nut loops? = Cheerios? LoL

[hammerman360]

why would you have an amstrad when a 16 bit mega drive was out at the same time, there were other 8 bit systems that were out years before and were much better like nes or even master system

[nc12h]

OMG i have not seen thats honey nutt loops ad for ..16 years lol i remember it well when i was in the infants lol

[lucasaid01]

I've still got my Amstrad

[IanIanIanIanIanIan]

Microwave chicken anyone?

[JimboJones101]

I saw that McDonalds ad, and thought 'how depressing, McDonalds being advertised at kids 17 years ago'... then I realised I had one of the toys when I was 4! I also remember the Honey Nut Loops advert, and pestering my mom for some cos I liked the song.. and then I hated them lol.

[hanito294]

thats rubbish nothing to do wiv sylvanains at all

[martinokeefe]

I haven't thought of Hero Quest since I last saw that advert and as for the Rock and Roll Maze, they were great!

[prestolovesvarla]

your ads have really cheered me up and made my day! thanx for the great posts! more pleazze! :)

[tripleseis81]

Matchbox Motorcity!! I had that - not all of it though unfortunately.

[macstar2002]

honey nut loops ad was funny, "youll gonna nuts for em, honey". and the kid with the bowl haircut.

[rsuc]

GX4000 lol what a disaster that was

your fired alan!

[zar13546]

"Is it the gas bill?"

Sooty: A real prick ^_^

[mononokehime316uk]

Yes we did get Little Mermaid a year after America thankfully cinema releases are not like this anymore. I loved watching it on the cinema and yes the mcdonalds toys were good.

[mononokehime316uk]

This was 6 days before my 7th birthday on November 18th. I was looking forward to get even more turtle stuff. It was around this time the Turtles film came out in the UK but it came out in America in March 90.

[KevCityboy]

I remember the Fairy Ultra ad! I was five then. I also remember getting the Little Mermaid toys from McDonalds! Honey Nut Loops were out then? God I'm older than I thought I was!

[sosolidjordan]

raasclaat thats old

[Applemask]

Was I the only person who found The Dreamstone faintly upsetting?

[mason642]

does the memebership work on UK Nova anymore? if not can you see if there is anymore clips on that website.

[AntarcticaTelevision]

You have to keep on trying - every so often dormant members (i.e. who haven't logged in for more than 4 days) are pushed out, and that gives way for new members to join, as UK Nova has a member number limit. If you want to keep your UK Nova account open (when you get it), try to log in within 4 days (or better still, log in, and then don't log out).

[AntarcticaTelevision]

At the moment some adverts and continuity from Channel 4 in 1985 are available to download. Every so often continuity and ads are available alongside the wide selection of UK TV programmes (from both past and present). Uploaded files are available to download for appoximately a month, but some are re-uploaded every so often.

[mason642]

the rock n roll maze game i actually used to own one f these it was a great game. great ads.
