Tennents lager advert

[bilwilbow1]

My son unearthed this skeleton from my cupboard. I was one of the dinner-suited guys drafted in from the SNO Chorus to spend most of a winter's day freezing in a field in the Trossachs doing multiple takes. A great memory. Happy days!

[bobodd5]

this stuff is rotten i hear they put cesium in it and horsey feed!

The guy in the trench coat is Steven Hartley who went on to play Supt. Tom Chandler in The Bill.

Big  Country

[lairg11]

[lairg11]

[thewirecollection]

[afuzzyduck]

One Great Thing

[gillo69]

ONE GREAT THING

[musenseus]

they should do a present day remake

[Daviebhoy]

Actually I just remembered as well, I'm sure Radio Clyde (or Radio Scotland, not sure used part of this song for their football coverage around 1990-ish. Maybe not as a main tune, but I certainly remember hearing it most weekends nearly 20 years ago!

[Daviebhoy]

Another cracking tennents ad I remembered from my childhood. I barely remember any TV from this era, just adverts and theme tunes!

[dreamthief12345]

tennents tastes cheap and foul. I prefer the kind of scottish beer that comes out of the Orkney Brewery... A Pint of Red McGregor any day, none of this cheap pish

[Caroline301079]

I loved this advert when I was a kid!

[bikingmadman]

Great Scott - they don't do'em like that any more :o)

This advert pisses on all the Stella Artois, Fosters and Carling shit!

Keep the (beer)spirit going my fellow beer monsters

[macdonj]

best advert ever

[mayonesa7]

I wish we had beer commercials like these in the states. All we ever get is a couple of fags in cowboy hats, drooling over fermented goat urine!!!

[kinkabala]

This was long ago my friend Im afraid the crap called tv in general long since died a forgotten death..

Great ad and one I love being Scots myself

[Neeklus]

I haven't seen that in 20 years. Haha. God I love old adverts.

[DougieUSN]

Brilliant I've been looking for this for years just to see the blonde 2nd left

[Douriebell]

Brilliant advert - been looking for this one!

Wish they still made adverts like this, the Caledonia one and the old Irn Bru ones (made in Scotland......from Girders!).

[etoiah]

Granted I'm in the US so naturally I haven recollection of this. But I am a huge Big Country fan, so it really surprised me when the sound kicked in. I wasn't expecting that!

[yatyas02]

Great!

[newschief]

Yes, it's on youtube too guys! It's titled:

Tennent's Lager "Caledonia" advert

from tennentsteam.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

[ScotsinLondon]

Brilliant advert. Was looking for the superb Tennent's Caledonia advert where the chap return from London to Bianco's Bar in Edinburgh. Iconic and made a lasting impression. Please bring it back...

Aye,

Eddie

[Hillk99]

The song went "Caledonia's callin me and now I'm going home" and the ad started with him throwing his briefcase in the bin in London and heading back to Scotland. Awesome. Please post it someone!

[DOBERSTAFFIE]

Great advert!!! He was also in Eastenders for a while.

[cyborg1972556]

the man in the ad is steven hartley who was supt chandler in the bill

[alistairgoold]

Excellent! I was looking for the other ad from the early 1990s with the Dougie McLean track 'Caledonia' (no success though!) Great ad though!

[Gemc07]

I remember this for a few reasons...1. Best Band of the Eighties and a great tune 2. The 4 dolly birds in Black... the Blonde second from the left...strewth...I think I had my first... och, never mind.

R.I.P. Stuart Adamson. Sadly missed. Never Forgotten.

[xtinamy]

my brother is in the bar at the end of tis advert really weird seeing it again! Cheers!

[calumthetim]

ahhh memories, i was only 7 or 8 when this advert was out but 10 years later the first pint i bought was a tennents and this ad was the reason. pure quality.

[bikingmadman]

I thought real Scotts grow up on beer instead of mother's milk ;o)

[GregoryUnderwood]

It is indeed good to see it again. Scottish ads are under-rated.

[hayburnman]

One of the best adverts ever. Great to see it again.

[bayster912]

Brilliant, loved this advert, been hoping someone would post it. Thanks. That's not Stuart Adamson in the ad, though, is it ?

[BikingDirect]

No it's not but I think it's Stuart singing, see dr261175 posting.

[dr261175]

Great advert, great song. RIP Stuart!

[havanakim]

Is it stuart or is it RunRig . Donny likes a good pint in the Fitty bar in Aberdeen.
