My god...even in the 70's the idea that the feeble looking Birds Eye Lasagne "tasta lika home made" just wasn't going to wash...look at it...just look at it....uggghhhhh

June Whitfield and Alfred Marks. This was before June Whitfield bought a scythe and started scaring the over '50's out of their money. She's still luvly though.

[MsSquishy123]

if my wife presented me with that lasagne it would be black eye 4 her for dinner..

[Feisty1967]

It advertised 12 adverts, there is only 5 here.

@Feisty1967 It's the 12th file of adverts on this account from c. 1979 - not the total number of adverts in the file.

....it'd be ironic if it WAS him, seeing as how pleasance and his daugher bisected him in a film called "beyond the grave" (1975)

[martinwilliamrandall]

@norristerse His daughter was a right cunt. But she did act with him.

[norristerse]

@martinwilliamrandall

bit unpleasance, was she?

[norristerse]

[Feisty1967]

That was June Whitfield and Alfred Marx in the Birdseye ad. I think this was the start of convienience, microwave cooking.

[Flickyhecky]

Is that June Whitfield in the Bird's Eye advert?

[col2006ie]

Yes.

[RodCow]

@col2006ie Is the Byrds Eye ad (circa 1980) where June Whifield lies about making the food herself and her nose grows pinocchio style uploaded anywhere.I looked but could't find.

[col2006ie]

@RodCow It's one of my ad files, somewhere...

[RodCow]

@col2006ie Thanks,will continue the search

[uhegbu]

That is the oldest Castrol GTX advert I have seen but what was the name of the musical piece that ran through the 1980s and 1990s? Who is this celebrity in the Holsten Pils advert?

[MontyPropps]

It's from Mahler's seventh symphony, second movement I think.

[knyvette]

Donald Pleasence.
