Love the slap bass on that Alliance ad! Pino Paladino was never out of a job for the whole of the early 80’s by the looks of it!!!!

10:20 - it’s crap service you get renting your clapped out set from Granada. For a worn out TV, that’s why millions agree… fuck Granada!”

[@davidbowie2046]

@10.30 That was our VCR! Top one. It was a re-badged Hitachi. We got 2 free video rentals with it too. American werewolf in London and Mad Max :) Anyone know what the track is @12.45? Alliance Building Society one.

[@clarec4299]

Sounds like an Art of Noise song...

[@hugoboss5895]

Size of the video players. They weighed a ton and cost a small fortune.

Really cannot watch a Nanette Newman Fairy ad now without thinking of the Smith and Jones piss-take.

[@PerryCJamesUK]

I always think of Kathy Burke in Gimme Gimme Gimme

5:11 I know it's the 80s, but what were they thinking when they named it like that?

[@Tobiemoss]

Smoke a condor and nab someones bra. What a time.

[@owenlewis8006]

I'd take it over now.

[@superjeffjeff4975]

Jan Westaby looks at least 45.

I know this is from Central but I notice the English cheese logo seems to be based on a Union flag, not sure what the rest of the UK made of that. Not sure why but I don’t like the idea of food having moustaches either. I do remember the Fiat Strada advert. I think we had it on the end of a tape somewhere, and I’d never heard the song I’ve Got You Under My Skin before and was a bit spooked by it.

[@fluxington]

What has the region got to do with it? Obviously the Cheddar advert was not a regional advert and so played on other regions too. I do believe that England was in the Union (it still is now) so I can't possibly imagine how this would have offended anyone from anywhere else in the UK. Back then, every complaint from supposedly minority groups wasn't aired publicly because of no internet - better days.

Ah The good old days. I loved the PAL dog food ad, obviously filmed before dogs became vegetarian social justice warriors.

[@clarec4299]

Ha! "Nutritionists say to eat more bread for health!" 😂 No wonder we're all doomed!!😮
