I love watching TV commercials from this era. They are soft, well spoken, not rushed, not in your face, relaxing, warm and comforting adverts. They seem less *cold* than adverts today which are hard, common (some times more ghetto sounding announcers due to diversity quotas) fast paced, slap bang wallop editing, in your face, tense, rushed and as a result just so so so *cold* just like today's world. So I switch these on for some comfort and reassurance.

The first Superman film (the ad break bumper that we can see at 3:45) was the post-Queen's Christmas Message film on ITV on Christmas Day 1983. Possible date for Superman II ad breaks are Friday 4th January 1985, although I cannot see any 1983 or 1984 transmissions. Ironic that the John Smiths lager advert used the tune of Stop the Cavalary - a Christmas song - in a Christmas Day break at the 5:22 (not the one at 12:40). They used that tune in their adverts all year round back then.

Good collection of adverts including the 1983 classic Yellow Pages one that ran for eight years. It was brought back to life recently in the same format when a man asked for a record called Dave-V-Lately. Is that Lynda Bellingham in the Baileys advert? Caught a glimpse of Mark Arden in the Budget Electric advert, one of two guys from the old Carling Black Label adverts between 1986 and 1992.
