“Has it ever struck you that life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quick you hardly catch it going?” ― Tennessee Williams.

Nice to see Rodney Bewes (fish), David Lodge (Bovril), and Harry Towb (D Tea) again. Plus the mellifluous tones of Richard Briars extolling the virtues of Batchelor’s pie fillings.

[@janellameur8435]

Plus Michael Keating, Villa from Blake's 7, on pie eating duty.

[@heathstjohn6775]

...and Janet Davies, (Mrs. Pike), as Towb's wife. But, for this ! romantic sentamentalist, there's the dog, ' Rebel '; (with those two, perfectly-matched urchins in the beefburger advert; no doubt, she pursued him into manhood, and convinced him not only to marry him, but to believe it was his own idea, and inevitable; (forever either doing-away with his '' Ooh 'eck ! "; or married life training him to replace it with something more truly expressive of his matured feelings). No one could suggest more to a denier of free food to a dog, by lowering his head, the need to have a guilty conscience more than Rebel.

Bachelors voice-over sounds like Richard Briers, possibly Brooke Bond too. Rodney 'Likely Lad' Bewes in the Birds Eye ads - the first here appears in here is called 'Proper Lunch' from 1973.

Yes definitely Briers there. I didn't realize the proper lunch was so early, I think I'll upload it as a single.

[@garethbramley1]

These single uploads are much, much better as they are quick to play (as well as to upload) - so one is not put off watching because there are items of no interest - as maybe the case in the longer clips.

Your comment is rubbish .These are all processed foods .

Spices are not native to Britain and many of us still prefer our savoury native food.

@@k.avilla8061 yes, there is nothing wrong with hearty food like you mentioned. but try and "spice" things up. Not by adding spice but by learning new dishes.

It's called, there's more to life than a roast, stew, spag bowl (very English), lasagna (same thing), turkey dinasours and chips, jacket potato and beans etc... This is what English people eat. It's very BLAND. The whole world knows this. I'm English and eat all the food I've mentioned but recent years I've branched out, I eat Korean, Italian, I tried jellof, carribean and I started to cook a lot of middle Eastern recipes. It's not spicy. It's called flavour. Try it. Or carry on eating beige food. Your life

[@k.avilla8061]

@@kahyui2486 These adverts are selling convenience foods that were sold in the 1970's .But they were not necessarily the staple diet of all Britains until we reached the point where we started being sold rubbish like ' turkey twizzlers'. In 21st century 'multi-cultural ' Britain, all of the ' spicy' foods you mention ( Chinese, Indian, Italian etc..) are familiar to everybody in our country and now almost everybody, of all backgrounds, has cooked a stir-fry or made a curry, spaghetti bolognese or lasagne at home (including myself ). If people don't like cooking, they have them as a takeaways. So don't patronise me with comments about eating only ' beige food'. You're not breaking any new ground here. Historically, people were restricted to what you call ' bland' food, because there were no alternatives, or they didn't know any better. In the past, the ingredients to make the ; 'more interesting' foreign recipes were not available in the UK, but they could still cook native food that was nutricious and healthy. Before the 1970's era of the kind of convenience foods seen here, in these ads, people were less wealthy and less exposure to more exotic food, but the simple 'bland' British food was healthy and people were healthier and fitter on their meat and two veg diet and simple salads than they are today. There wasn't the obesity and diabetes epidemic that we have in the population now. Pizzas, curries, Jellabies and Chinese takeaways are not healthy. I have also noticed that there are as many people of ethnic minority backgrounds ( Indian sub-continent, black etc,,) queuing up in McDonalds, Papa John's and KFC as there are native white people. The Asian population has, proportionately, the highest level of diabetes in the UK. All people of all ethnicities are eating too much junk food in the UK, today.
