Classic British Adverts from the 1970s Part 9/10

[@annalewis5443]

Makes me feel happy watching these.

[@kiskaloo6843]

Nothing about PPI, funerals, life insurance or attempts to emotionally blackmail us into donating to charity. These ads are more entertaining than most of today's TV programmes

[@cannonjabari310]

Pro trick: watch movies at Flixzone. Been using them for watching loads of movies recently.

[@houstonrowan9614]

@Cannon Jabari definitely, I've been using flixzone for since december myself =)

[@madamesalamander16]

The late great Trevor Bannister of "Are You Being Served" in the crisps advert with the shark. That voice is immediately recognizable as our Mr. Lucas!

[@flashtheoriginal]

Windsor Davies. Top professional who had true charisma. Comic timing at its best. Gifted

[@terryjacob8169]

Met him a couple of times in the late 1970's, in his local, ' The Greyhound', Carshalton, Surrey. An absolutely delightful, down to earth, man to chat with.

[@emilywhitfield2780]

Love watching these classic adverts from Britain!! Keep them coming and Thank you!!!😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@excelents]

Complain to buggery about Adverts and Pop Ups on our devices then sit here for 10 mins and watch 42 year old adverts, that's some irony !

[@TheHorsebox2]

God you're so right! What are we like?

[@thelightrevealstheplace6361]

ronan harding The adverts then were entertaining NOT nauseating.

[@benconway9010]

Yeah but ad's were worth watching back then straight to the point the stupid shitty ad's today are a fucking waste of money and my fucking time

Remember most of these as a kid in the 70s,! Born 23rd May 1968,, from northern Ireland UK,

[@babs5968]

Think they should repeat the Country Code ad regarding fire after what’s happened on the moors

[@sashaboo72]

Country code adverts should be brought back. Government information films as well, We learnt a lot from those as kids.

[@bluecanary1note]

I love the Woolwich girl with 'the nice face' "Good morning".

Oh yes. I had a fancy for her.

A very young Susie Blake in the first ad

[@trojanthedog]

Teresa May - Miss Thames TV winner of the year 1972!

[@sn2nd88r7]

Adventures of a Taxi Driver-Certificate X.LOL.I must have been about eight-years-old when this ad came on.It would have gone right over my head!God knows what they've already seen on the internet nowadays.

[@spencerhardy8667]

The disturbing thing is what will the next forty years bring? Because the one thing we've learnt since then is that "progressivism" is not positive. Quite the opposite

@TheRenaissanceman65 Wasn't 1979 in the 70's? The whole picture? What do you mean by that?

@TheRenaissanceman65 Not to me. Unless you do not know either and are just making the statement for effect.

[@jazzman1626]

TheRenaissanceman65 The poisonous confusion that is political correctness and all of its freakoid or else bullshit, is worse, and is more destructive than anything bad about the 70s by a long fucking way!

[@richardlitwin4046]

I only came for the Tavistock squares just before the Taxi Driver movie advert at 8.17.

[@razorsteel7242]

Leslie Ash began taking over the screens around this era..

[@AndreiTupolev]

That's a bit of a backhanded ad for Renault isn't it. "Yes, they often break down, but you get it fixed really quickly anywhere in the country!" :D

[@Deedee-ee1sg]

Lol, the KP crisps ad! I remember quite a few of these. My favourite was R WHITES LEMONADE ad !!

[@ianbeale2527]

"16 year old Amanda Murphy" Miss Thames TV...........Bloody Hell !! Must've been all that milk they were drinking back in the 1970's. I like how drinking Cresta turned you in to Jack Douglas ! As a child of the 1970's I had Cyborg and his Invader space ship, but the dome cracked after a week and then someone stole it when I left it in my back garden...............I know it was you, John Bartlett. I hope you see this and feel ashamed . Don't worry, I nicked your Dinky NCC Enterprise in revenge !

[@patrickbone6171]

...and I’m suddenly 8 years old again!! Car ads and aftershave The mark of a man!! Green Shield stamps and Esso Tigers Slade Major Tom and Hamlet cigar adverts. Leap forward to .....Celebrity Love Island......nah!!! give me a Foxes Glacier Mint and a Cresta Cream Soda and wake me up for ZX Spectrums and Amstrads ( I wonder what ever happened to him??)

[@garethbramley1]

Good old Trevor Bannister has more than his hands full again. I remember trying some Denim until my uncle put me onto Aramis. Look-In was a great mag with some great covers - they are worth a few bob nowadays. The Richard O' Sullivan ad is still funny and must have gone down well at the time. Used to love the Cresta ads but I hardly ever bought it.

[@kingporter67]

A gorgeous lady in a bikini at the 1:44 mark on the KP Crisps ad, awesome 1970's British Adverts classics!

Pot was cheap,amd things seemed simpler.Corporations hadn't yet got a hold on politicians ,but that was soon to change.

[@lycian123]

The Country Code advert must have been a reaction to the two hot summers in the decade. It was also the first and last time I put ice cubes into a beer at the pub because it was so hot. Some of these adverts are quite good because future directors were employed. Ridley Scott may have famously done the Hovis advert (when he was 36) but there were some others.

[@JeffDeWitt]

That Country Code one was kind of lame, not where they were showing the dangers of fire but really, "follow the Country Code"? They should have borrowed Smoky Bear.

when you watch these adverts it brings it all back to you & makes you realize just how shit & fucked up everything is today, society has gone insane!

[@theenglishman9596]

I remember most of the Follow the country code ads, they should bring them back because if you walk down any country lane it is swamped with rubbish thrown by the lazy stupid car driving public and we have all the fires by either deliberate stupid kids or stupid ignorant people who should know better.

[@odbear100]

Im almost certain that is Suzie Blake in the doublemint advert.

[@halcyon289]

@King Brilliant Wearing green , hands on hips, pushing out her boobs and says "Double mint"...

[@jamescoburn6789]

Anyone else want to know about that 3000 year old woman?

[@1800astra]

These are great. Strictly speaking, the jingle for the Disco's ad is nothing like in a disco style, so that's probably why they never took off. On a more serious note (if that's possible), Miss Thames TV 1976 is obviously going to be an ogle-fest, and what kind of hallucinogens was Diane Keen on to be spinning an 'I was Nefertiti in a previous life' story to the NOTW?

[@mgthestrange9098]

You can still get Discos, don’t you go to Poundland? They sell multi bags of them, they’re fab! 😋

[@1800astra]

Mhairi Gibbons Thanks but, I think multibags in Poundland is a euphemism for *Never Taken Off*.. After all, We never see Kim Kardashian scoffing from a bag of Salt’n’ Vinegar Discos.
