TV-am ads 1984

[MrGreen333111]

love Roland Rat; love Capt Sensible (well actually

I don't love him at all but the advert was funny)

[manicmeezer]

captain sensible at the end there

[Cerebralator]

Wow I used to love Roland Rat Superstar Yee!

[clubkid70]

Lol

[misspumpkinface77]

Bet no-one wanted Farmhouse Bran!

[JHollowayNetwork]

Where's The Weetabix ad?

[weavehole]

I think I had one of those Gobots.

I was playing with it the day I met my best friend.

[EnerieEffex]

Wow! Weetabix had their own variety box!

(not too much variety to boast about though eh :))

[Spagettieater9000]

Why the FUCK are those kids drinking alcohol?

[GARETH012005]

lol.....no their drinking tizer a soft drink from the 80's..i belive you can still buy it.

[chaoreturnsforgood76]

@GARETH012005 Tizer is made by A.G. Barr plc. (same company that makes Irn-Bru)

[NikkiClo]

weetabix breakfast box, never seen that before

it obviously didn't appeal to kids..not enough sugary cereals like the kelloggs multipack

[RodCow]

Hah-That's not the Captain's voice

[UKSazzy67]

God! I remember Weetabix Breakfast Box! It's funny how you forget things. The advert with Captain Sensible in it has just come back to me. I was 16 at the time.

[wmcginty]

BEHOLD MY TOY! It´s a plane! No, it´s a Kate Adie! It´s HOMICADIE!

[arigato2004]

Wow ... those ads take me back.

[webbhead92]

If anyone cares to know, after the ad break Roland went on to get off his head on Saki.

[Cathain78]

Ahahahaha :-D

[mikkifly]

i can tell its tizer

cause my teeth fell out

[LukeChucky]

There is one thing i've learnt from this advert. Drinking Tizer turns your hair ginger.

[NJTJ1980]

farmhouse bran

[Shaunn123]

my cat drank tizzer...he's dead now!

[mhairi2006]

I didn't like Roland Rat, he was a pain in the arse!

[marksoutof10]

Roland was the best thing that happened to TV-AM! I have to say, though, I much preferred his earlier "solo" appearances, without his other rodental chums. Kevin the Gerbil - Now he was the REAL pain in the arse!

[Jamie10004]

He sounds like Blakey with that laugh lol

[strunway]

i dont like theguy with the round shades, who is he, ive seen him before,

[oxo02]

happy talking talking happy talk! the fella in the round shades is captain sensible....

[strunway]

yes!! ahh he was about for a while and did all the crappy little tv spots. do you remember that woman that always used to wear round shades as well. I think the show was Rough Guide?? i didnt like her either. lol

[filmnet]

The Rough Guide woman you are talking about it Magenta Devine (she started on Network 7 and then went to Def II). I didn't hate her, but always wondered why she wore shades. A "statuesque upper-class punk" apparently...

[martyp76]

i heard that her pupils were fooked cos of all the drugs she took, or she was just trying to look cool and failing :)

[LukeChucky]

Captain Sensible. His biggest hit was called Happy Talk.

[Xxfancythat79xX]

i'm sure the lad in the asterix advert was in grange hill a few years later but i could be wrong...

[a3w4]

tizer is the shit!

[RebelVoDKa]

Allow my-ze to buy yie-zu a Tize-izer.

[a3w4]

can i have a can of tizer then?

[RebelVoDKa]

Yize-ess.  They-zer have them in Sainsizebury's

[a3w4]

lay of the drugs-ze!

[satonakis]

y is captain sensible living with his auntie?

[emmoorrhh]

if anyone watched citv can you memba a tizer advert saying sumthing like im tizer red im busy busy busy going out your head or sumthing class lol x

[Speednik]

I remember it. My unreliable memory has it down as something like:

"I'm red, I'm red

I'm Tizer head

I'm fizzy fizzy fizzy

I'm off my head

Whether you're dressed

Or in the nuddy

I'm yer cocker, yer pal

And yer bestest buddy".

Not sure how much use that is to you, though!

[Applemask]

That's exactly it, actually.

[Applemask]

BEHOLD. FY-TOR. HANS-CUFF. KATE ADIE.

GoBots sucked.

[wmcginty]

Actually, being a British ad, the unknown ad is for Robo Machines, which is what they called Gobots in the UK.

Also, I like the way they make Tizer sound like cocaine...

[heine71]

The UNKNOWN TOY commercial are for GoBots.

[AntarcticaTelevision]

Thanks!

[tranmere66]

I remember the Needler's Fruit Pastilles one very well. Now all we need is someone to upload the other mid-80s Tizer one - "I'se got the ize 'cause I'm drizeinking Tizeizer"!

[agfagaevart]

I remember those Asterix and Tizer ads.

[RobinCarmody]

The Ceji Rebel ads are voiced by Patrick Allen.

But did we really need *another* ad using "Puffing Billy"?

[Wyraachur]

TV-AM, there was a blooper (well not a blooper, cause it was live) on Tv's Naughtiest Blunders last night, which had Emu attacking the people on there XP
