Channel 4 - Christmas Day Adverts & Continuity - 1982

[@AIOctober]

Man, I'm really craving some wine, hairspray, holiday brochures and videotapes right about now.

[@bonnie3447]

😂 😂 😂

[@jedicarwasher]

Should have used a "TDK Super Avilyn video cassette" to record these adverts.😇

[@bromley001]

Is that Wolf from Gladiators at 3:08?

[@lurch727]

Has anyone else noticed the irony of the picture quality drop during the TDK advert?

[@uhegbu]

Yes, there was a blip.

[@joannegray5138]

I was just thinking the same thing. Clearly this video wasn't recorded on a TDK :)

[@dissonantdreams]

OK, that Freddie Barrett fella is REALLY creeping me out now...

[@robmortimer4150]

I bet anyone watching must have been sick of those ads by the end of the night...

[@betaman7988]

To be honest, it's still exactly the same on ITV now, especially during daytime...

[@Gallowaywind]

Alot of repeats here. 23.33 for barrets, You need to video with just these adverts all together !

[@zaftra]

TDK is still around

[@twitchygiraffe4636]

Christ that was like groundhog day! If nothing else this upload shows just how much channel 4 were being penalised by itv in the advert department in the early days! Pretty much the same ads each break and near enough in the same order too!!!!

[@neilpower60]

That guy winking over Sue was a bit creepy

[@zaftra]

why?

[@twitchygiraffe4636]

Oh and had a bowl of soup as well!!!!

[@twitchygiraffe4636]

So basically from watching this and another 1982 channel 4 ad break, people who watch this channel back then drank port or "real" sherry and when they weren't doing that messed about with their hair a bit?!

Don’t turn over sue!!
