Probably the best ads ever

I worked in a dental lab making false teeth in May '83 - listen to this show every day. Happiness - such a huge laugh!

I can’t see the point in playing the theme music to be honest.

Live version?

can you say orgy in adverts these days?!

Sounds like something from a mariachi band.

This Hamlet cigar advert sure takes me back to when I was a child in the late 1980’s and that music also, something about that tune that used to creep me out when I was a child back in the day but now that I am a grown adult when I listen to it it’s actually refreshing and makes me feel appreciated on how fortunate of a childhood life I had with these classic adverts, Saturday night shows and amazing quiz games in the week 🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🤘 I’m showing my age now at 42 lol 💖💗❤️👄🌅☀️🌞🏖️🌴🏝️ I am autistic so I’ve always had good memories on adverts for some reason especially on tobacco advertising like this one 💖💗❤️👄🏖️🏖️🏝️🏝️🌴🌴☀️☀️🌞🌞🌅🌅🤩🤩😍😍🥳🥳🗽🗽🗽🗽

Memories of being at home with mum ❤

I absolutely loved Dr. Snuggles. I used to watch it on Sundays when I was six. I wish there were more episodes of it.

I’m desperate to watch this anybody know where I can watch it?

GET IT OUT OF OUR FRIDGE!

Thank you we can all enjoy his broadcasts forever now - I don't know why the BBC don't put them on iplayer one of his shows is better than most of their TV output

Aspirational yuppie shite, I remember Viz did a funny joke about it

A sort of 'The Wizard of Oz' meets 'The Paul Hogan Show' flavour to this ad

Glad to hear Tony on Saturday mornings. And all that time ago .

I have uploaded some Steve Wright in the Afternoon shows from 2016 on my KZbin channel: www.youtube.com/@by_antony

It feels weird seeing Simon without his glasses.

l fuckin hated these adverts

This is the best version of the theme as well as opening and closing titles (used from 1975 to 1989). Beautifully filmed and edited, they suit the theme and programme just perfectly.

For those interested by the theme song, it was written by Johnny Worth and the single version was performed by Catherine Stock - John was my brother ion law, Cath my sister - here she is performing on TOTP kzbin.info/www/bejne/aaKQnXpmlpyFsM0si=cQ_SqYOD8rCAghLk

Imagine a time in England when you had an Ad with 3 people in it, and not one of them was black......

Footloose jumpscare at around 4 mins

I have some full shows of SWITA from 2016 on my KZbin channel: kzbin.info/aero/PLY9I96YTMy_I4Lb4YCEjxZ7Rky7vE3fNn

British Gas, British Telecom, British Steel, British Airways, British Rail, British Petroleum (BP), British Aerospace, British Leyland and many more - all once state owned assets until sold off to the private sector by Thatcher and Major. Now we own nothing as a nation.

Clown roller sequence is so beautiful...

0:01 The Odeon Barnet cinema, now an Everyman cinema.

I worked in a WH SMITHS Record department but we never made any promotional adverts 😅😅

There's no There, There.

I have literally been Beattie in this ad, phoning clothes shops and trying to track down the right item in the right colour/style/size. Richard Wilson is so good in this too!

from "Andy Pandy".

Ngl, if someone made animation this smooth today, it would be on some sort of kawaii anime cutout channel. This looks about in parvwith Seasin 10 FOP in terms of animation that looks 60fps

The legend that is Tom Adams. 🎉

Nothing better than Ovaltine o end the day? How about sex, a pint or two of real ale, or sitting arouned a roaring fire?

Not many people have fire places now, shame really, coming in from work with a nice fire sitting in your arm chair wife cooking dinner, children sat playing games, the days that have lomg gone never to return

I always loved the "1-1-1-1-1 F-F-F-FM stereo" jingle 👍

Star FM Philippines: 2:57

I'm pissing myself all over again just like back in the 80's

That outro music is banging

So remember this! I’d wake up early on Saturday and Sunday to listen to Junior Choice :-)

If only radio was this good now!

These ads were strokes of story telling genius …

I liked the Anglia knight and the Southern Star with guitar accompaniment.

Love this advert, thanks for posting!

How I *wish* someone would produce something as comfortable, simple, gentle yet charming as this. *Won't happen now though.* A bygone era. Netflix's "Go, Dog, Go!", although opposite in tone, comes close though. That *really* is excellent. PS: The outro music for "Camberwick Green" here is just *masterclass!*

This and LWT ... sweet ! Nice work Iain.

Since Radio 1 was celebrating their sweet 16 in 1981, they thought it would be a good idea to pay tribute to jingle packages of years past - including the elusive 1969 Audio Producers jingle package that was recently found.
