Classic British Adverts from the 1970s Part 4/10

[@kingporter67]

Love the Tab ad, this is a very good 1970's British Adverts classics!!

[@gremlinuk1968]

Great Times, was a kid in the 70s,! Born 23rd May 1968, northern Ireland UK,,! Remember most of these adds,!

It's great, good job

[@Eleventhearlofmars]

That’s refreshing to hear.

[@stephenbird74]

One of my favourite adverts from being little

[@davidlewis1787]

You did a great job!

[@scaramouche853]

Some of the adverts are obviously from the 1980’s...but they are all good and very nostalgic...takes me right back to my childhood.

[@Mogsey1972]

Still sing the Fruit and Nut advert to this day :D

[@Madgeney]

7:54 I totally remember when department store security cameras looked like these!! When I was a little girl I asked my mum what the spaceships on the ceiling were!!! Ahhh the good ol’ days!!

[@L3wis1]

That Foster Grant advert is cool enough that I’m going to shop with them now.

[@JojoChampion]

Frank Muir and his Fruit and nut choc bar. Such memories. Love these.

[@gilesbrooks8790]

Youd get the mental health activists going doolally if that was used today!

[@cielobuio]

Can you imagine going out of your way in 30 years time to watch the adverts of today ? No, I thought not. I couldn't even name a current advert

[@TonyWeaving]

Me too

[@fluorosco]

Cos they're rubbish like everything else

[@TonyWeaving]

Me too. The TV ads of today are complete rubbish. I was born in March 1963 so remember the TV ads from the 1970s. I remember the Shake and Vac Lady the Milk Tray Action Man. Lorraine Chase and her Luton Airport Ad. Also the very gorgeous Cadbury Flake Girl. Ad makers today need to take a leaf out of as makers from the 1970s to see how it is done. All we have today is ads for insurance cremations etc etc and I can't think of one with a catchy jingle like we used to have in the 1970s. Tony in Portsmouth.

[@flybobbie1449]

The way these adverts cut reminds me of the cinema adverts.The pop between each advert could be heard in the cinema but don't remember hearing such on tv.

[@garydunn3037]

June Whitfield as Pinnochio's Mum lol. remember that ad like it was yesterday.

[@neilbain8736]

So that's who it was!

[@yell50]

These were the feel good adverts of the 70's long before before life insurance adverts constantly reminded us everyday of our impending demise in 2018

[@jeffstevens4262]

Oh, those lovely memories...!

[@colinglen4505]

I was young when the cinzano ad first aired and thought that joan Collins looked a bit old to play the part of a glamorous woman ... 40 years on and I think she looks well fit. .. time is a funny old thing.

[@Eleventhearlofmars]

colin glen Joan Collins gave me the horn back then, even though I was only 10-11 lol

[@Gunzee]

What the hell that's her? The second advert? Also after a second watch I got the innuendo. She looked totally different, there was a point maybe 15-20 years ago she looked stunning. Before the sickly underweight plastic fantastic stuff.

[@davidmg1925]

:-) when you are 10 .....16 looks ancient 20 is another planet and 40 you defo ahve one foot in the grave.....

[@ashleybuck6508]

colin glen Joan Collins was a milf before the word milf was thought of

[@vantheman1238]

colin glen always thought she was as fit as well you know. However, what was she doing with Leonard?

[@markjolley3768]

adverts then were sometimes better than the programmes and much more entertaining! anyone agree!!

[@classic3511]

Glad you said the word then, ads today suck.

[@agfagaevart]

ads today are about winning awards - not entertaining people or even selling the product.

[@brunster64]

They are certainly better than the programmes today

[@garyrothwell1914]

I used to love the Carling black lable ads.

[@splo1nger909]

Oh yes

[@decab8292]

Fabulous blast from the past. From a time that was simpler. ( rose tinted glasses) hahaha

[@thornbird6768]

I remember every single ad , I feel old all of a sudden 🤣

I remember those early 2 litre coke bottles with the weird black tub on the bottom!

[@PHOENIXHOUSE137]

Great to see these! The Lee Cooper ad was sung by Gary Numan before he became successful

[@dizmop]

I was wondering about that, did he have a hit around '81?

[@PHOENIXHOUSE137]

No it was released by a guy called John Du Cann who had a small hit with it in 79/80 I think.

[@dizmop]

@@PHOENIXHOUSE137 It sounds like Gary Newman doing a cover of the original in his style

The music is actually "Danse des mirlitons" from Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker

[@foleyartist62]

June Whitfield looking like German drag queen in the Birds Eye advert! Wow forgot how campy and off the wall some could be. So many faces and voices of actors who became household names.

[@MrDavey2010]

Fabulous adverts directed very often by directors who became Hollywood directors. That’s why they’re so amazing!

[@jerribee1]

Such as Ridley Scott.

[@g2macs]

Did you know the Lee Cooper jeans ad was sung by Gary Numan (Cars/are friends electric)

[@rob16248]

Was it him, or an imitation?

[@popyasmurf]

Always suspected but never confirmed

[@metafis2490]

it was him..definitely. However The single, released in 1979 was sung by John DuCann..(former Atomic Rooster member).

[@Skin-ve2tt]

I think it was credited to Gary Numan's band, "Tubeway Army"...??

[@DAVIDE-bk8by]

Yes it was him. He did this advert version based around the original song Dont Be A Dummy by John Du Cann. Look it up on KZbin

[@barbarastepien-foad4519]

Wow this takes you back to a much more inicent time and...so very English.

[@ashleybuck6508]

Barbara Stepien-foad yep it was way better back then for sure

[@mattw8332]

Sounds like Gary Numan singing the Lee Cooper jeans ad jingle...which looks more 1980s than 70s.

[@gargoyle666]

It was Gary Numan, 1978 I think.

[@brantnuttall]

@Walkercolours I sure hope it did. It was well scary like PEGI 18! EEK

[@whelkshuffler]

it was a great advert when seen in the cinema, really loud, several versions...there was one with dobermans too, that was good, Gary Numan has a pilots license I heard..................late 70's

[@54spatula]

I like how in the first advertisement, they broadcast the half second or so, whilst she is waiting to start her lines! 😂

[@dianeridings4260]

The Foster Grant ad had a very “Kraftwerk” feel about it. Also, the Brutus Jeans song was released as a successful single with the words “Brutus Jeans” replaced by “blue, blue jeans”, composed and sung by David Dundas (a.k.a. Lord Dundas of Zetland - a genuine aristo!)

[@terencejay8845]

I have that David Dundas song on one of my MP3 compilations, called 'Jeans On'

[@classic3511]

Foster grants (especially the imposter aunts) brilliant.

[@nightmaster5593]

hahaha that Cinzano ad was hilarious! I'd watch an entire movie starring that dude, pouring drinks all over the place while trying to pick up chicks

Some of these ads are great. But there's nothing 'sad' about saying goodbye to a culture where your boss could put his hand up your skirt and then tell you to 'get a sense of humour, love' if you complained. I wouldn't want my daughters to value themselves on how men react to the size of their tits. And that's not political correctness - that's called being a decent human being.
