I think they were "advertising" electricity because the Electricity Boards were going to be privatised, so as to encourage people to buy shares in them.
A rather menacing voice-over! I remember these ads - I was 6 years old and couldn't figure out why they were advertising electricity on TV - how else were TVs powered in the 1980s? Gas?!?!
I vaguely remember this one. Then many years later, hearing Beethoven's Symphony Number 3. & thinking. That's the score from the old electricity ad!.
Thanks.
