Sky Digital Advert - 1998

[PBL187]

Bit far fetched just for an advert. And people thought the Dairy Milk gorilla on the drums playing In The Air Tonight was far-fetched....

[boywith1eye]

Incredible ad. Got terrible nightmares but incredible.

[craigt1981]

Begged and pleaded with parents to get this when it came out, they wanted on digital but then luckily the sky box became free the cheap skates lol the rest is history

Adverts were better in those days

unlike the shit you get now that you would only think of when your high

[jawswithpaws]

Search this title: Channel 4 'digital' advert - Max Headroom #1 (Dec 07)

[jsam93]

Heck, this is more imaginative and better produced than most of sky's current programming!

[bocketroom]

This is really creepy. I remember watching this back in '98 it used to give me nightmares.

Great directing, I wish they make adverts of this quality nowadays.

[yugilord]

I'm glad I wasn't alone with that! I was about 10 at the time this ad came out and it scared me from turning the tv on! Good to see it again though I nearly forgot about it!

[welshfilmbuff]

Really! This ad used to make me laugh, actually. Then again, I was about 15 at the time :)

Very well made ad, though.  Great music!

[bocketroom]

I used to have nightmares where the family telly used to bounce around the living room walls then explode!

Audio and video on this are completely out of sync, should only be 90 seconds long.

[tvhist]

LOL, this advert reminds me of that Simpson episode where Homer get's some company to design a new advert for his Mr Plow firm :D

[Distomak]

it's odd actually, listening back to the music on here, and i'm almost 100% certain this isn't the music I heard 10 years ago...?

[Digitalskyperson]

i wonder how many tv's were destroyed in this ad?

[wayzotoichi]

yes ditto ...please :D

[olivierlondonn19]

hi,

i've wanted to hear that beautiful music again for such a long time (nearly 10 years), so a big thanx to Daveraveuk for uploading it.

But does anyone know who the band/artist are (+ the name of the track)? Any help/clue would be greatly appreciated. Thanx in advance

[shiningourlight]

great ad but it stops before the end - any chance of you uploading it again?

[bluecandylover]

It stops but moving it slightly more at end plays end even if it is 5 seconds.
