Nicholas Found of Retail Economics guided me here

the actor in the video is Radio and tv legend Anton Darby who is on Radio victory in Portsmouth sundays 12 till 2pm. he's also been in Emmerdale and worked with Sir David Jason

When they first started using this set a few months earlier in 1994 they did a thing where each member of the panel had to walk into the studio to applause. It was dropped very quickly because it was so ridiculous!

This was a rather somber time with John Lennon dying just a week before

Well, this advert is clearly false. They brew all those beers through all the breweries they bought and ruined!

True British visionary !

This is such a wide subject! I would like to see someone do better, all the inventions since 1940 is a massive subject.

I loved Sir Clive - always honest, considered answers, nothing glib. He always said what he meant, and, of course, a man well ahead of his times.

I was lucky enough to NOT recieve a gift for Christmas from Rolfe Harris.

😮😮😮😮😮😮😮RUN RULFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF IS COMING

No girls likes those albums,IFS not everythint turnout so well.

lol Rolf kiddy fiddler

Year I was born

Charming interesting top shelf gentleman Bryan Ferry!🌺

Rolf Harris, Val Doonican, the Spinners, James Last, a veritable smorgasbollocks of top class entertainment.

Oooo Rolf that's a bit out of order now!

I want to hear more about this play about someone who decides to go mad.

I was 8 so would have been in bed as it would have been school the next day 😂

❤

8 days after John Lennon died.

I remember this old rubbish on the tv.

"Play for Today is a tragicomedy about a man who decides to go mad" Great, eh?

In those days the sets on variety shows always had to have steps, tiers, pillars and blocks. Quite often the steps just don’t go anywhere.

1980 and the News Readers still had that posh upper class accent. I miss the 70s and 80s, my youth.

Rolf Harris "Do you know what it is yet" 😮

when you acquire knowledge about someone's behaviour it taints everything there were ever in or will be

"A play about a man who decides to go mad." Had he watched too much 1980 Christmas telly?

Rolf Harris "Give Us A Kiss For Christmas" Jimmy Savile "Nibble On Me Christmas Nuts..."

RIP Neil Innes (1944 - 2019).

Lot of rose tinted specs regarding the quality of Tv back in the 70s and 80s. This clip shows how dire it really was.

just proving that christmas tv has been sh t forever

Better times then… apart from rolf Harris and the other BBC nonces

Took me back.

Hudson goes and has a tug in his kennel.

The Spinners. God help us.

The BBC, never trusted today, they cover up stories or hold information until yrs, then it’s brought up, Why isn’t the bbc punished for this, and the cheek to have a tv licence…..

Alright darling, get us a cup of tea love

I was alive back then. We cherry pick the best of the 70s and 80s and think it's representative of the era, forgetting that 99% of time it was either rubbish even then or looks woeful now. I'm not saying today is better - just that 40-50 years ago is certainly no golden era to benchmark against. Good to see, though.

Went to blockbuster

Val Doonican and his giant hands and skinny microphone God i hated his show.

Thanks for uploading! Certainly remember this ad. It managed to convince me to part with 80p of my paper round money. Still got it somewhere.

This did make me think of Princess Grace of Monaco lying in state.

Brilliant. Talks more sense than most.😂

Deep joy for the populateth. .

The 1982 Cortinas were the last model year, so the going to heaven symbology seems apt.

BBCI

I had two of those. The first was a Blue 2.0 GL and the second (in 1982) was a Gold 2.0 Ghia. Then, everything changed with the arrival of the Sierra which was called a jelly-mould by die-hard Cortina owners. However, by then I'd reached the dizzy heights of a company Granada.

I dream of a world with no indegestion 😂

Bloody marvellous… Nostalgia overload…
