Perhaps the cheesiest ad of the 90's - but I loved it and couldn't find it on it's own on Youtube. So, in the end, managed to snip it out of another upload that had it in an advert segment of a 90's TV prog.

  • @ilovecollecting I fully understand and agree with you.

  • This was one of the great chaptered commercials, like the Nescafe Gold Blend ad campaign.

    I must have been ahead of my time as kid watching this commercial because I loved it.

    It was just soaked with sought after sophistication.

  • Oh my goodness, I couldn't have put it better myself! I felt exactly the same. I wanted to be at that party and as you say it encapsulated the Christmas season

  • @1silloth

    Oh I so loved the original advert! I thought I should be living that life!! To me that symbolised Xmas and I loved the start of the festive season when it first appeared on tv.

    Oran-jez rappend in ze tropic-al sun. Your boyfriend doesn't remember it because it was only us women who went nuts when the French guy came on!!

  • Just found the original one here:

    youtube.com/watch?v=ZNkut_K64I­E&feature=related

    3.00 mins in. Lis Sladen in the final shot.

  • thats a shame, iv been trawling through all the adverts to try and find the original cointreau advert! only cos i thought it was a brill advert and i kinda learned it all the way through ....... orangis rappend in d tropical sun! if you find it pllllleeeeeassse let me know, my boyfriend doesnt remember it and i think iv exhausted the internet looking for it!

  • The first (I think) Cointreau ad was made in 1973.

    It featured these two and, briefly, Elisabeth Sladen, who auditioned for Doctor Who the morning after filming it. Can't find that one on YT, but I may have it on tape somehere.

  • This was never shown on Westward, TVS or Channel 4 in the south as Jennifer Clulow was employed by those companies as a continuity announcer/presenter in those regions and the IBA disallowed commercials to be shown in the region where the stars were employed.

  • @roseofmercy The Woman is Jenny Clulow, actree and news presenter. She now teaches Performance at a college in Dorset.

  • Thank you so much for posting! I loved the Cointreau adverts - so classy!!

    For some reason, the lady in the ads always reminded me of Frida from ABBA !!
