I'm sure I've seen this junction before online, but seeing the Rhythm Pals flogging Chart Hits '83 ("The fabulous Forrest!") in a TOTP-stylee still makes me smile.

@col2006ie Yes, I sourced this off the pp.meldrum website. Predominantly for the nostalgia, which the Charts '83 ad displays very well.

[Jarren202]

I must be proper retro, as I still wash dishes by hand.

[CaptainSiCo]

Is that Linda Thomas announcing?

Good adverts including one of the early Remington adverts with Victor Kiam.

[UKArchiveTV]

even the graphics in the ktel ad look like TOTP!

[RobinCarmody]

Oops, what I mean is that they're in the *European Cup*, in any of its guises, for the first time since then. There was no Champions' League until thirty years later, obviously - many apologies for the brief piece of Murdochism.

[RobinCarmody]

Always liked the version of David Dundas' finest few minutes that is used on the Fragile Earth trailer.

I suspect it's serendipity, but how apt that you've uploaded this just as Tottenham are in the Champions' League for the first time since the setting of Those Glory, Glory Days (i.e. 1961/62).
