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 during an edition of 'Spitting Image' on Sunday 8th April 1984. The adverts are of the London Weekend Television (/Thames) region.
Adverts include:
* McDonalds Big Mac
* GLC Lets
* Moulinex blenders
* Qualcast lawnmower
* Chicken Oxo (look out for the old 1970s lead-in)
I am still going through all of my old tapes and uploading various clips, so check back regularly!
''Moulinex makes things simple...and that includes the price.''

The red haired guy in the McDonalds ad is John Salthouse, who was in the Bill.

The first sketch in the second episode also had a a laugh track. Apparently, the laugh track on the first episode was added at the insistence of Central.
The 1992 election special and two live episodes shown in 1993 also had laugh tracks, but these shows were performed in front of a studio audience, rather than the laughter being added later.

"Trims and mows and won't cut toes" - classic ad, still makes me chuckle today

Being a spitting image nerd. I can clear things up. Yes the first episode had a laugh track but dropped it very quickly but the second had a bit of luagh. But even after that it was still finding it's feet.
