UK ITV advertisements (LWT region)- August 31st 1986 part 1

[uhegbu]

Classic adverts from a quarter of a century ago including Heineken and Irn-Bru which is or was a Scottish soft drink. That slogan 'Made In Scotland From Girders' was the subject of a song a little later in the 1980s.

Allowing for inflation, that petrol would be roughly 67p / litre today. I look at the sweets, larger and hair produces and think the world has scarcely changed, but moving around now costs double what it did then... :(

I do confess to gelling and moussing my hair most bizarrely in the 1980s... so did a lot of my friends. Mind you, we were teens/twenty-somethings - a bit younger than French and Saunders. lol!

More innocent times...

Looks like Irn Bru stole an old joke from Benny Hill there.

That L'oreal advert looked stupid even at the time! I recall French & Saunders doing a spoof - "Do you want your hair to look ridiculus?".

I miss many things about the 80's and Skips Prawn and Cocktail crisps are right up there.

Is that David Thewlis AGAIN as the weasely Roman legionaire. He did quite a few ads.

[appleguy]

remember french and saunders spoofed that studio line advert with a product called stupid.

I can remember that Heineken 'binmen' one. And Irn Bru - a kind of non-alcoholic version of the Heineken ads really.
