I met the Hoffmeister bear when he came to the Childrens club at Chesil Beach Holiday camp in Weymouth in 1985. Come to think of it, Children and a bear that advertised alcohol wasn't exactly a great tie in.

The first Superman film (the ad break bumper that we can see at 3:45) was the post-Queen's Christmas Message film on ITV on Christmas Day 1983. Possible date for Superman II ad breaks are Friday 4th January 1985, although I cannot see any 1983 or 1984 transmissions.

Ironic that the John Smiths lager advert used the tune of Stop the Cavalary - a Christmas song - in a Christmas Day break at the 5:22 (not the one at 12:40). They used that tune in their adverts all year round back then.

Good collection of adverts including the 1983 classic Yellow Pages one that ran for eight years. It was brought back to life recently in the same format when a man asked for a record called Dave-V-Lately. Is that Lynda Bellingham in the Baileys advert? Caught a glimpse of Mark Arden in the Budget Electric advert, one of two guys from the old Carling Black Label adverts between 1986 and 1992.
