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 the second advert break shown during a broadcast of the James Bond 007 film 'For Your Eyes Only' (1981), recorded on Sunday 31st Auguest 1986.

Adverts include:
* Heineken lager (with those bin stomping people thingies, which were everywhere for a while. In the 1990s 'Blue Peter' even had a (terrible) theme in such style!)
* Irn Bru
* L'oreal Studio Line
* The Star bingo game
* Skips crisps
* Amerian Express (featuring Richard 'Virgin' Branson)

I've also uploaded the other advertisement breaks from the recording.
I am still going through all of my old tapes and uploading various clips, so check back regularly!

  • Classic adverts from a quarter of a century ago including Heineken and Irn-Bru which is or was a Scottish soft drink. That slogan 'Made In Scotland From Girders' was the subject of a song a little later in the 1980s.

  • Allowing for inflation, that petrol would be roughly 67p / litre today. I look at the sweets, larger and hair produces and think the world has scarcely changed, but moving around now costs double what it did then... :(

  • I do confess to gelling and moussing my hair most bizarrely in the 1980s... so did a lot of my friends. Mind you, we were teens/twenty-somethings - a bit younger than French and Saunders. lol!

  • Looks like Irn Bru stole an old joke from Benny Hill there.

    That L'oreal advert looked stupid even at the time! I recall French & Saunders doing a spoof - "Do you want your hair to look ridiculus?".

  • I miss many things about the 80's and Skips Prawn and Cocktail crisps are right up there.

  • great classics

  • these are gold dust..thanks for posting!!!

  • lol this was my 3rd birthday!
