Three milk ads from the early 1980's with a disapproving Mary Whitehouse character. These capture the period quite well: the fashions, punk, 'hot gossip' dancers, 'new' men.

  • After Gordon Brown announced there would be no Autumn election, some Tories were on the news this week dressed as bottles of brown ale with a slogan that read something like 'notta lotta bottle'. Just shows how this ad has lasted.

  • There are lots of things I like about this: rare to see a parody of a real person in an ad, the lion-tamer who is obviously quite scared of the lion, the fact that a couple of the people are mouthing something different, which suggests they decided on 'lotta bottle' after some of the filming had been done.

  • All these ads were first shown in 1982.

    The Hot Gossip dancers are Legs & Co, they did this ad after leaving TOTP.

  • These ads date from 1982 and are some of my all time favourites. The "Gotta Lotta Bottle" theme was HUGE. I started work that year and we were always chanting it round the office!

  • Are you blind?

  • Sexy, funny - and remarkably effective advertising. About the last time advertising used real bloke types in adverts rather some creative's idea of what a real man was.

    S.x.

  • PRICEJAMES, in what year did she died?

  • remember the last one especially from when I was a kid, Zara Nutley was great - in Mind Your Language too

  • OMG, She lost her hair at 1:17!

  • I see want you mean about getting stuck in yer head that tune its practically subliminal!

  • The ads were launched in early 1982 and instantly attracted attention from the tabloids. On Feb 5 1982, one of them (named after a certain heavenly body!) asked: "SO, HAVE YOU GOTTA LOTTA BOTTLE?" and there then followed a full-page quiz. Sadly, I scored "AS WET AS SPILT MILK"...

  • Zara Nutley... I've really no idea. I love her in these ads!

  • Would you care to give us more info about this...are you sure she's dead? Any details appreciated!
