UK Thames advertisements - Thursday 25th December 1986 pt. 3

I am gradually sorting through some of my ancient video tapes to log what is on them, and capturing some vintage clips whilst I do so.

Here is an advertisement break shown the British television premiere of the 'unofficial' James Bond 007 film 'Never Say Never Again' (1983), shown on Thursday 25th December 1986 (known in some circles as Christmas Day!). The adverts are of the Thames (/London Weekend Television) region. Being from the Christmas period, there are lots of sales advertised!

Adverts include:
* Lamot lager (inspired by He-Man and Battle Cat?)
* Colgate (very 1980s in style!)
* Selfridges sale
* British Coal (For some reason I don't remember this one; maybe my memory earased it to protect me, as it would have SCARED THE LIFE OUT OF ME!!!!!)
* Twiglets - part of the 'Twilight Zone'-inspired 'Twiglet Zone' campaign of the mid-late 1980s.
* Coca-Cola (also shown in the previous ad break)
* Debenhams sale
* Le Pait D'Or Wine

I have also uploaded the other two ad breaks from the film.

I am still going through all of my old tapes and uploading various clips, so check back regularly!

[JayFirestorm]

Haha, I can't imagine any kid saying like "Mommy, can you get me some Colgate" so he can be 'hip' and 'cool' like the kids on the advert!! =)

That piece in the British Coal one was also used in the 'Alton Towers' ads of the 1990s/early 2000s.

[stripe25]

I am looking for a video of a coal advert from britain when there was classical music in the background and these toys started getting up and dancing around any ideas send me a message

God that Coke advert puts me in a diabetic coma

[ianhawdon]

Colgate one reminds me of the Kia-ora adverts!

[SheriffTankStoner]

The Twiglet Zone? Cor Blimey, what distilled whippet shite that is

[NevadaFM]

My god, i was only 5 when these adverts aired, but i can still remember every single one!

[stoob1969]

you'd think that Selfridges would have spend more than 50p on their advert

[mistofoles]

I didn't really get the point they were trying to make in the Coke advert.
