UK Thames advertisements - Thursday 25th December 1986 pt. 1

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 the British television premiere of the 'unofficial' James Bond 007 film 'Never Say Never Again' (1983), shown on Thursday 25th December 1986 (known in some circles as Christmas Day!). The adverts are of the Thames (/London Weekend Television) region. Being from the Christmas period, there are lots of sales advertised!

Adverts include:
* Heineken (I like this advert; I doubt they'd be able to do it now that alcohol advertising has been clamped down on, especially when appealing to children)
* Comets sale (very short, thank goodness!)
* Asda sale
* Quick Brew tea (very sickly sweet American style! With no offence to Americans reading)
* Alders sale
* McDonalds Big Mac
* Arding & Hobbs sale
* Coca-Cola

I have also uploaded the other two ad breaks from the film.

I am still going through all of my old tapes and uploading various clips, so check back regularly!

I have only seen the Coca Cola ad from 1989. It obviously ran for three years before I noticed it!

The recordings definately 1986 - I still have the TV Times, and even checked the teletext date on the tape.

Maybe that's from drinking all that caffeine that in a Coke, LOL!

Personally, it was rubbish back then and it's rubbish now, no much different.
