Simple times but such a happy time no adverts for Life insurance or funeral plans for the over fiftys. .

What brilliant escapism....love it takes me back to much better times ❤

We moan about advertisements prior to watching you tube videos, then we watch a video full of advertisements for our relaxation….

The test card when there was nothing more to watch, we need to bring it back again 12 hours a day.

[@autumnb7135]

Why can’t we have someone sat in a comfy armchair next to a Christmas tree introducing programs nowadays instead of freaky avant- guard stuff that gives me nightmares?

[@firenza74]

Those were the days.

[@lastfirst5689]

I remember these. Adverts have a powerful effect just when I don't think they do. The B R passangers are still on the train waiting for services to resume

[@andrewjones-productions]

Well to their credit, they only ever claimed to be 'getting there'. They never actually claimed to actually get you there. British Rail fulfilling the only promise they were capable of. A journey that may never ever end - at least not in the place you hoped it would.

[@JoanneDawes-pg9uf]

I was 10 when these came out ... I'm now 55 ...where had the time gone ? Some seem like yesterday ...I sold kitchens in the late 80s for texas ...most of these companies are gone ... all due to Internet

Thank god for you tube and being able to watch all these memories back again 😢

[@martinpotter8139]

Thank you.

[@lindathomas5500]

Most of these were from 1978, so weird I remember all the shows and films advertised, I watched them live lol.. I was ten at the time, I also remember pestering my mum to take me to see pete’s dragon all over Christmas, as it was opening in our local cinema in the new year. Such memories….

[@martinpotter8139]

All adverts are from Christmas Day 1978.

[@lindathomas5500]

@@martinpotter8139 ah.. thought so lol. It brought back some wonderful memories for me. My mum died this year, so now I’m the last one in my family after my brother and father passed number of years ago. This took me right back to such happy times, thank you!

@@lindathomas5500 1978 was without doubt the dullest year of my life. I was 13 and at a Dickensian-like grammar school that I absolutely hated. So sorry to hear your mum passed away and ya dad and brother. *hug*

[@lindathomas5500]

@@hopebgood lol.. I must admit that doesn’t sound great! 😂 Do you remember the heatwave of 76! Scorching temperatures, the tarmac melting everywhere, our mum complaining about the blanket amount of giant flying ant invasion all over the washing. The drought that produced the share a bath posters lol But…. For us kids that meant days and days of perfect summer holidays beaching weather! (I should confess I was born in Cornwall, so the sea for me was a ten minute walk. That was a brilliant summer lol 😂

Stephanie Beecham in that Texas add. Talking of Beecham, I remembered that Night Nurse bit straight away, 45 yrs later.

[@mickeydodds1]

I'm still searching for the Williams Furnishings 'Pound Power' advert.

[@randolph795]

Yeah remember when the ads on Christmas Day suddenly featured lots of sales and holiday ads.

[@alfredroyal3473]

These were made when Britain was just about still recognisable. Whites are not in TV ads now. The country has metamorphasised into Zimbabwe.

The 70s - boom time for nits.

[@QuoPaperPlane]

Sometime second half of the 70s I think these were shown and most were viewed on our 21" Ferguson colour TV. Recognise most of the voice overs but their names escape. Richard Briers, Michael Jayston, Ray Brooks, the feller from It Ain't Half Hot Mum I managed though. Strange thing is that I've got an adblocker installed on my PC😅

[@Springamatul]

Wow just over a pound for a tin of paint which is worth about £25 plus now.

[@daisydaisy7532]

Happy days ❤

[@alm5966]

I remember most of these like I'd watched them yesterday. Today's adverts actually turn me off the products they're selling as I don't belong to the target market of BAME mixed race families.

[@spencerkarter1878]

Agreed, if they don’t like it they should go back to there own country

[@katelennon6869]

Exactly!!

For those who complain about flat-pack furniture from Ikea, they clearly haven't experienced the joys of MFI furniture. As terrible as the food in the seventies, if not worse.

Christmas adverts ?

[@DessieTots]

And no endlessly screened adverts for post menopausal women pissing in their yoga pants and laughing about it with their mates. Or adverts championing homosexuality and other sexual perversions. And no non-stop adverts telling everyone how gambling can improve your social life. The ITV version of the Morcambe & Wise Christmas Show was totally crap and a huge disappointment. I hope Eric enjoyed the extra money he earned from it because he threw away years of hard work and perseverance. Not to mention a lot of fans.

[@alexanderevanska4274]

1.69 for 5 ltrs 🤣😂🤣.

[@gabriellaj.o.6180]

Agree the adverts since 2018 make it look like we are all black or mixed parentage. The last time i read we are 80 per cent white.
