TVS Adverts 1982

[@anajonda]

The "Invest In Wales" advert was spoofed to side-splitting effect on Not The Nine O'Clock News that same year (as both "Failed In Wales" and "Made From Whales.")

[@mikekaraoke]

Ahhhh the 1980's were a great decade, I loved all these adverts esp the: Beaulieu one remember all thier adverts on TV and going there every year etc :-)

[@SMAXZO]

The first ad...all I can think of is the Failed in Wales sketch.

[@BenPanced]

Sadly, the sales for the remaining issues of the "You and Your Camera" series didn't live up to those of the first.

[@rubiumproductions]

Jesus! Where do I begin on that You and Your Camera advert!? xD I thought it was bad enough when they advertised a free guide on "How to photograph women"! xD how times have changed xD

[@CelticSaint]

Changed beyond recognition, and soon to be changed forever.

[@russellrawling274]

Are you actually allowed to take pictures of women anymore? Imagine a advert like that now! You cant even make eye contact with a woman anymore without being accused of being a pervert. What a strange world we live in now!

[@rockysablue]

Glad you said that... Dodgy as eff... Who the hell thought that was acceptable?

[@nolongermatters4671]

Fantasy and album cover artist Roger Dean (Yes, Dragon's Dream) animated advert at 9:20

[@Stu-SB]

Good spot !

[@davidallen7977]

I was 16. I remember the kids in the tent marmite ad, and the pipe tobacco ad. I'd love an Alfa sud today, shame they all rustted away so quick.

[@yoddytoddy]

This must be a South region capture - was hoping to find the lesser spotted Folkestone Market ad

[@kengeorgejones6855]

Odd to see Paul Darrow randomly appearing in the American Express ad not too long after Blake's 7 was over (well I guess a year or two).

[@uhegbu]

The first advert, has the music piece become popular in football matches for the Welsh football team?

[@AndreiTupolev]

Is the 32 page supplement on photographing women still available?

[@Stu-SB]

My immediate thoughts !

[@MrIrrepressible]

What happened to pye televisions

[@reallyryan_]

[@mikekaraoke]

Ummmm where the hell have you been hiding on a dessert island????????

[@andrewcostin3297]

That camera partwork is a bit Yewtree...

[@anonUK]

Well we wouldn't do it today but having a copy hardly makes you Savile.

[@mrroobarb]

[@agfagaevart]
