Christmas still had a sense of magic in the 70s/80s. That feeling has long gone 😢

[@garymeacham7353]

i loved it on a snowy christmas day with a roaring coal fire and the excitment was in the air.

"321, do that the wrong way and you could get yourself into a lot of trouble" Classic!

[@smellegantcode]

24:06 if only the BBC's Maryam Moshiri had seen this warning!

[@johnrider3749]

I'm not bothered weather the adverts are from the 1970s or 80s as both of those decades were better than the 2020s,,

[@GordonWaddell]

Looks more early 80's - those 321 Graphics are a bit advanced plus no flares, no large shirt collars or 70's sidechops/haircuts. The ITN theme disappeared in 1982 after the ITV revamp and the Birth of TV AM. I was a child living in New Cross, South London, it was also the year of Boys from the Blackstuff.

[@martinpotter8139]

All from 1979. The adverts are from the Bond film Goldfinger on Christmas day that year.I have the video tape here with the recording from all those years ago.

[@GordonWaddell]

@martinpotter8139 Thanks for that precision , very close to the early 80's 😆 but yes, TV was alright back then. It's good that you, along with many others, have amassed archives over the years that have now been brought back to life. Cheers Martin 👍🏻

This is brilliant! I was 10 and remember watching Goldfinger with my Dad on this day :) He took me to see Star Trek The Motion Picture a week later. Thanks Martin for all the happy memories.

[@locutus155]

How did you cope with Star Trek TMP at 10 years old? I remember being bored brainless. Preferred The Black Hole myself.

Why you have chosen to bring Jimmy Savile into this is anyone's guess. You can't even spell his name.

[@kevinmoffatt]

One spark and the lot would have gone up in the co op ad; polyester everywhere!

[@soylentgreennewdealtimeshare]

England made lovely adverts when it made decent things. Ironically, one cannot watch them and reminisce about what is long gone, as they are interrupted by warped imagery trying to sell the latest versions of Alinsky, Piven, Mao, Green and Cloward. Nobody buys it, but that's what they get.

[@chriswaring5565]

[@petersmith6974]

Before the days of George Floyd

[@martinepstein3332]

Before the days of many things, but there were bad apples in the police barrel even then. A more innocent age perhaps

[@agfagaevart]

there were plenty of George Floyds murdered by Uk Police. the most famous from 1979 being Blair Peach.

00:43 When the coop didn't have to check the WOKE diversity box for their adverts!

[@rachel.mcgowan]

They don't HAVE to now either. They do it because they're a progressive modern organisation I'm proud to be an active member of.

[@duncanholding7636]

Or maybe they could no longer risk an advert with all white faces in it for fear of being branded a racist organisation

[@chipbuttytime3396]
