TV-am ads 1984

Here is a commercial break during Roland Goes East (alas what I uploaded from that programme is all I've got :-( ). It's incomplete, and has a chunk edited out by me because my old VCR (a Nordmende from about 1981, which we bought second-handed in 1984 from a family member) started to accidentally go into "Record" mode in the early 90s. (It lost the capacity to record in 1992.)

But anyway, the ads that have survived are for: unknown toy, Action Force from Ceji Rebel, Astérix from Ceji Rebel (hmmm, I thought Astérix couldn't really beat the Romans that well without the help of Obélix ;-) ), Needler's Fruit Pastilles, Tizer, and the Weetabix Breakfast Box with Captain Sensible (the clip cuts halfway through this ad).

I think I had one of those Gobots.

I was playing with it the day I met my best friend.
