I've got that video, it's from 28th September 1981. Funny enough I was just about to upload that video with the Thames continuity but it seems you've beaten me to it!
Shopping by post? How did that work in 1981? You mailed your shopping list to Tescos,and two days later the postman turned up on your doorstep with your groceries??
Kenny Everett voicing for McVitie's Jamaica Ginger Cake, I think. Unbelievably, I think these ads must actually come from 1981 - the Horse of the Year Show only ran from 5-10 October in that year, when those dates were Monday-Saturday. The HOTYS always climaxed on Saturday (in 1976 10 October was a Sunday and it wouldn't have extended to a Sunday then) and the previous year when 10 October was a Saturday was as far back as 1970. Also, Monster Munch apparently only launched in 1977.

It's Bill Oddie on the McVitie's advert.
Will change the date now.
