UK TV Ads from 1989

My apologies for the lack of descriptions to these commercials. Firstly, it's a long job to provide with over 12 hours ads on here already, and secondly a large American media company removed one of this channel's clips several months back and I don't intend making their work any easier from now on, namely providing them with searchable terms.
This collection is helping to provide a piece of cultural history and I am not profiting from my activities!

And lastly, I will now ignore ALL further information requests which come across as demands, which aren't courteous or anyone who doesn't use the words PLEASE or THANK YOU! Most people contacting me about these ads have been absolutely charming, but I'm fed up with those folks who treat me as an unpaid search engine!! OK, moan over!

Just found out Converse are shoes - thanks Wikipedia!

Did Converse have some sort of agreement with advertisers in the 80s? Everyone seems to be wearing them in these clips! I still wear them now so I'm obviously stuck in the 80's

Sorry Jodamu, but I'm a bit in the dark here. Who or what are Converse? I'd love to know!

Completely unrelated to the content of all the ads I've been uploading, but I'd love to know what causes all those little funny squares on my ADARCHIVE clips during sudden scene changes. They're definitely NOT present on the WMV video files I use to upload to YouTube :(

I remember that Fruit Jaspers ad too!!! I haven't seen that in years, thanks Paul. I don't remember Team. I saw Belinda Lang in the Guardian ad. The other actors I don't know.

John Sessions was the man sitting on the table!

The lovely Georgia Allen among the guests in the Kodak ad.

On the 1st advert, look at the girls face at 00:01! It might sound man but I found that slightly sinister. lol XD

Big fan of that Hula Hoop ad right there! Cab Calloway is a legend! =D

The guitar in the Lucozade advert was very funky but I loved it! Sounded like "Knights of Cydonia" but it's still very awesome. Love the Jaspers advert too, VERY funky animation!

All in all, another great selection of ads!

is that not stephen fry on the voice-over for kodak camera film?

Hmmm... Hornby "Car Parts". I somehow wish they had a U.S. counterpart then. All we had then was Micro Machines!

[Jodamu]

They're quite a distinctive type of canvas shoes, the three kids dancing in the toy cars adverts are wearing them. Wouldn't normally notice what footwear people are wearing but I picked up on it in a few earlier clips and since then I've noticed practically everyone is wearing them, especially in the ads that are trying to be "hip"

I think they have to do with the uploading - video files seem to experience a drop in quality when they are uploaded. I have been noted of this by somebody who enquired about one of the video files I've been uploading lately.
