TVS Adverts & Continuity - Christmas Eve 1982

[@chrisevans5259]

You can't beat telly from the 70s and 80s, ....brings back some great memories for me, of growing up in these wonderful and more simpler times......where have all those years gone

[@sillygoose635]

you really can beat them.

[@deejayintheuk2657]

@@jeddward9464 I agree with you.

[@marcse7en]

I have a "temporary" Mosque right outside my window! When I complained about the noise, they told me to "move"! They called me a "prick" and told me to "f*** o**"! Religion of "peace"? You decide!

[@ChannelZeroX]

They're right here on this channel ;-)

[@philrob1978]

The Atari advert... "and the fabulous E.T!" Bless them, they knew not what they were trying to sell. Great set of ads as always Neil :)

[@daviniarobbins9298]

It was a rushed product. I think they spent 6 weeks developing it in a hurry to get it out to retail in time for Xmas 1982. It sold well too until millions of unhappy customers returned it to Atari for a refund.

[@markrowley2739]

I had it that Christmas, God awful but happy memories are brought back just seeing that p*ss poor game 😁

[@anicecupoftea8303]

That carpet sale is still on.

[@JoeScaramanga]

"The fabulous ET..." I'm on the phone to Advertising Standards Authority right now.

[@seeingthesights2246]

It's straight up propaganda!

[@Daracdor]

Greens sold both ET & Raiders of the lost ark for about £30 I had to choose between them ....... I chose right !

[@aquaboy68]

the documentary on the atari et game is excellent..a couple of guys find the site where they supposedly buried the cartridges......👍

[@beware_the_moose]

I was there, it was boring. And everything was brown. And most people couldn't afford anything.

Yes please

[@wolfblitzer1981]

Yeah you and Marty mcfly lol

[@woodyeckerslyke9676]

Apologies for the late reply but if it’s the 80’s you miss simply move to South Wales. Who said time travel wasn’t possible?

Happy days. You can clearly see how society has changed, and not necessarily for the better.

That was epic... i was right back there, and knew most of the ads... so glad for the upload, thank you

[@Jasonr2803]

Marathon: They’re so big! Peanuts inside, big bar... what was she thinking? 😂 You have to love the innuendos of 1980’s advertising.

[@MrIrrepressible]

I remember seeing those superman anti smoking posters in doctors surgeries and libraries back in the early 80s

[@Ashworth6]

I had the information pack that accompanied the campaign, it came with a badge and a mini-comic.

[@AndrewSvonja]

I had that Atari !!! Loved it !!!

The caramel is really scrumptious 😂

[@clarec4299]

Liquafruta! Who knew that was a thing?! Though the advert is fresh for 1982; could imagine this as a later 80's ad, but by then,the product will of well and truly gone I bet...

You make it neat wheat mate cos I was 8 in that year but I wasn't in the TVS region, It was Granada and that carpets sale ad music is hilarious.

Weetabix, not Weetbix

[@sallyhodson7366]

I take m6 hat off to all you people who recorded this timeless material takes me righ5 back

[@sjgreen197012]

I've heard of people pausing video recordings to skip the adverts but Won ton ton must have been a truly crap film to pause the film and record the adverts. :-)

[@marcse7en]

With panic buying due to the Coronavirus Pandemic, 1982 is the ONLY place you can get Andrex toilet rolls! 😂😂😂

[@MarloFan]

Any vid starting with Willie Rushton gets a like as far as I'm concerned...

When I was a child, I thought Pedigree Chum looked really tasty. Luckily our dog didn't have an expensive taste in dog food.. 😁

[@chrishall7915]

1:45 - The 'fabulous' ET game is famous for being the worst video game in history. Most copies ended up in a landfill site in America.

[@ianmangham4570]

TRON ,when going to the pictures was so exciting, my uncle took us to watch STAR TREK the motion picture .

[@seeingthesights2246]

"Tron... at a cinema near you, from this weekend!" It must have been a re-release of sorts, as it opened in the U.K on 21 October 1982 according to IMDb. They were probably giving it an extra push over the Christmas hollidays, as Tron wasn't a big box office hit.

[@craigdavidson2278]

If I remember rightly, cinemas would have a particular "slot" in which they good have the film (s). In Kent, the ABC and Odean in Canterbury, had the films a month before Dover and 6 weeks before Deal/Folkestone.

[@alm5966]

I went to see it.

[@Ashworth6]

Back then, films could take up to a year to be shown across the whole of the UK. I lived in an outlying area of Greater Manchester, and our now defunct local cinema would get new releases about 6 months after they had been shown in central Manchester.

[@floyd75dylan]

6:56 Always loved the Superman cartoon ads as a kid.

[@paulanderson79]

Funny there should be an advert for Denmark, because I literally just ate a whole tub of Philadelphia, which is produced in Denmark! It was so cool and creamy! I just can't help myself! 😂

Get a life , You sad Muppet !

[@floyd75dylan]

15:55 cool Tron theatrical promo, with the old BBFC A certificate.

[@philipdalton1000s]

A stood for Adult. It was similar to the more modern day P.G., general exhibition but more suitable for adult viewing.

[@chrisnichols1957]

now I want a Snickers

[@dandare2586]

A time when a Marathon (Snickers) was bigger than a 50p & not full of vegetable fat.....

[@ianmangham4570]

I was mad for the skinhead weetabix men, looking at the beautiful colours on the box while eating 2 💯👍🤣🇬🇧

[@ShikiraPressley]

Seeing this now as an adult is truly sobering. It was almost a kind of a fantastical blur aged 9 then - especially the adverts for gifts we never recieved yet perhaps would have liked - a taunting reality that consumer society leapt way ahead of the biblical choirs that rarely appealed to dysfunctional lower-class families if you get my meaning and nutty chocolate bars.

[@ChannelZeroX]

Nicely put!

[@NedoflandersArchives]

'Won Ton Ton' makes for staggering viewing these days (and probably even in 1982). Put simply, a Rin Tin Tin semi-biopic with the odd rape joke and doggy suicide attempt. That, and if my memory serves me right, looks suspiciously like it was shot on the leftover sets from 'The Day of the Locust'. Directed by Michael Winner, naturally.

[@blazer666del]

LOL

[@alm5966]

I tried squeezing a handful of peanuts expecting a Marathon bar only to open my hand and find, lo and behold, a Marathon bar. Amazing.

[@StuartVallantine]

Does anybody know why Allied Carpets had a bad Bryan Ferry impersonator singing through their early 1980s adverts? So bad but listenable.

[@ChannelZeroX]

Good catch!

[@duffymoony]

I remember many of these like instant recall. For instance, that Skoll and Bold ad straight in there, and that girl babe biting the apple at 12:25, yum. 09:47, coal, the fuel of the future, 2020, er, er...

[@Ladygaga4047]

I was 3 months old

[@daviniarobbins9298]

They were selling Atari 2600s for £90 at Xmas 1982? I remember as a 5 or 6 year old being in Woolworths seeing boxes upon boxes of Atari 2600s on the shelves up to the ceiling behind the counter and they were selling for £200 each and the games were £30 each. My parents couldn't afford it. I think that would have been around 1979 or 1980. I ended up with a small clock radio/tape recorder instead. Talk about disappointment.

[@daviniarobbins9298]

I also loved how the advert for the Atari showed a six switcher when in actuality by late 1982 it was an all black 4 switcher version of the 2600 that was on sale at that time. The wood grained six switcher model of the 2600 was replaced by a wood grained 4 switcher in late 1980 or early 1981.
