1982 British Caledonian Commercial - 2

@727Hushkits There is no "the British accent", any more than there is "the American accent" or "the Chinese accent". (Ironically, British Caledonian was a Scottish airline, formed when Caledonian Airways took over British United Airways, but there wasn't a single Scottish accent in the ad...)

I forgot to add, the guy sitting on the left 0.26 seconds in looks a bit like Toby Jones.

Naff song,mildily politically wrong, xenophobic and sexist. Shame I wasn't around then, I would've been very happy with the naff music and fashion. Nice advert.

[exsquilax]

@keeprighton2007 It does have an oriental man in the advert, just after the guy saying about Oriental girls with rice.

[cometspeed]

with rice^^

[Perranporth]

Who's the actor singing about German girls being never late? He seems to look familiar.

[TheMCEurope]

good to know it was the closest it could be to BCals home ;-)

Continued...

I wish they all could be Caledonian.I wish they all could be Caledonian girls" pause The advertisement man speaks up:"British Caledonian,we never forget you have a choice."

[Takanozana]

Passenger No.2:"And those beautiful Far Eastern girls do splendid things with wise" All business class passengers: " wowo.." pause Passenger No.3: German girls are so correct and the planes are never late." Passenger No.4,5,6: But there 's only one girl we want to see as we reached the departure gate." pause All Business class passengers:'I wish they all could be Caledonian.....

@Takanozana splendid things with wise? or rice? I wonder what they do with it...

[Takanozana]

@markus2004 Are you trying to ask me a sensible question???

[markus2004]

@Takanozana not really - I'm pretty sure he says rice, that's all -splendid things with wise doesn't actually seem to make sense!. But i've been wrong before, and no doubt will be again...

[jemmabond]

I feel sorry for those poor air-hostesses - they could have been gang-banged!

[SegaMegadriveMic]

I've flown with US airlines and girls are really nice.

And those beautiful far easten girls splendid things with wise.

German Girls are so correct and their planes are never late.

But there's only one girl we want to see as we reach the departure gate.

I wish they can be all caledonian

I wish they can be all caledonian

I wish they can be all caledonian girls.

[SegaMegadriveMic]

This advert is amusing!

[mr1940s]

so Basicly Buisness travilers dodge better airlines for the hot stewerdeses?

[vaddoff]

The best advert EVER! And the best airline ever. BC, WE MISS YOU!

[Reed488]

So true.

[FabFM]

better for whom?

[pilot7893]

If I become a pilot (which I obviously will) I will sing a version of this adapted to the airline I fly for

[meljaxon]

Enn Reitel was great in this. Then he went on to do The Optimist, Mog and the voices for Spitting Image. Where is he now,I wonder.

[scotjack]

British Caledonian was the BEST!

[Bigdave747]

Oh.. Fantastic... it makes me sad that such a great airline is no longer around..

[kissanova]

Wow. They turned the DC-10 into a flying radio. Still great anyway
