Pearl & Dean 'Asteroid'

[MysteryManfrom79]

You didn't 'stop showing' this intro. If you had P & D advertising, this was the ONLY intro till they updated it - you didn't have a choice between the old and new.

This went out of fashion in July 1996. The opening was always the same, but the outro was altered towards the end with a diferent phone number and extended to feature 2 lines of the chorus instead of the original 1.

Nyeh nyeh nyeh nyeh.

Happy memories, not of Kia Ora but there was a fantastic icecream lolly called I think Peach Melba that you could only get in cinemas. Have listened to a few of these YouTube versions and I'm afraid this one comes over a bit muffled.

this used to scare me!

[oscarelgy]

how about a kiaora to go with it? :)

Anyone over 40!? I'm in my mid 20s... and they were using this intro until the late 1990s :-)

Some of the smaller cinemas probably used it long after the Odeon & other big chains stopped showing it.

@heene ODEON never showed Pearl & Dean!!!

1997 is the year when the new Asteroid hit the big screen

Many thanks for the clarifation, it's most appreciated.

Yes, and the curry house in the film was never the one advertised & you won't see any of the staff in the advert there either!

Some sets of ads are on Youtube & elsewhere.

Yes that's right, curry houses always had flock wallpaper, acting was hammy to say the least, ah memories are made of this!!

[mrspivvy]

Lol! I love that! always seemed to advertise curry houses and carpet warehouses with a crackly soundtrack. I remember it well
