@@shakeystart you got that right. My sister let our former neighbors borrow our VHS copy of the Disney film Pocahontas. It has been about 17 year now and they NEVER gave it back.
I don't remember a lot of these adverts but just the aesthetic of the backgrounds, cars, clothes etc is so comforting.
if you havent already, would love to see a early 2000's UK adverts compilation.
The Allied Dunbar - "There may trouble ahead.." And Rumbelowes - "Don't pay more , Mrs Moore.. " Tunes that have been sitting dormant in my memory for years are now alive and being hummed again... thanks alot! Haha.
@4:45 That Abbey National advert is actually stunning. Amazing piece of editing.

I think it's supposed to be like the Massive Attack 'Protection' video from 1995. There was also a Vauxhall Vectra ad in the same year with 'Play Dead'' by Bjork which is similar to this one too.

@@bellachance1206 Funnily enough I did check to see whether it was directed by Michel Gondry who did the Massive Attack video, as it is similar to quite a few of his music vids and he’s done quite a lot of adverts. But Wikipedia and Google drew a blank. I’d love to know who made it though.

@@MazdaChris Me too. That's funny you thought the same. We can both come back here if we discover anything. I used to love this ad and the Vectra one. We don't get these types of ads anymore, unfortunately.
The last advert compilation had the first mom out of My Parents Were Aliens, and now I think that's the second mom in the Allied Dunbar ad!
Some say the MFI sale is still on to this day

One2one changed twice to my knowledge. The first change was to T-Mobile and later they joined forces with Orange to become EE.
I remember that One2One ad like it was yesterday.
Bloody hell, the Office World looks like a commercial from the mid 80s. Another great compilation.
Those Lynn Poly ‘get away’ ads were always quite good. Better than holiday ads nowadays.
This has given me a burst of nostalgia. Thanks for putting these together
I always thought the One2One phone song was going 'football's coming home, straight, football's coming home.' it fits the rhythm perfectly.
That computer at "only" £1175 from Office World, you can get a half decent gaming rig for that nowadays haha.

Not to mention this is very early 90's money. If it's from 1993 considering it's for a x86 66mhz processor that would be £2,455 in today's money.

Michelle Pfeiffer on the cover of NOW Magazine, at first sight i thought it was Sarah Michelle Gellar! Haha
Just before the internet revolution came in full swing. No websites or email address on these and it’s kind of nice. I remember when they used to say on tv you have to type in http forward slash w w w dot.
09:00 glimpse of an R5 GTT! Best hot hatch back in the day!
I'm surprised you don't have a Rover advert for the defunct brands compilation.

Office World in Fosse Park Leicester actually continued as Staples, then Office Outlet, for like 25 years. It just closed due to the plague ={
Mission Impossible a big influence on the Now magazine ad the Midland one
6:05 this part was gr8 lol
It's amazing seeing banks trying to be self aware and create a positive reputation.
Wait, who's the guy with Billy Connelly in the Goldfish ads? I'm sure I've seen him Midsomer Murders.
Now magazine, thought that was still going.

“And what is the price for that freedom? Only £12.99.” Scottish MPs in 1706 were payed much more to support unification with England, so this is a better deal.
