Very retro classic boxes on that Bassetts advert

Such a great upload, many thanks!

"Pinch more than an inch" is one of those everlasting taglines that you remember more than the product it was coined for!

A really top notch selection of ads...apart from one :-/

Duncan Preston in the Special K advert and I'm sure that was Gorden Kaye and Mickey Pearce from Only Fools and Horses in the Zanussi one.

And Poison Pearce from London's Burning in the Twix ad.

6:36 - Because I lived down South during this time, there was a cultural variation. Instead of the Signal toothpaste ad saying 'Tea', it said 'Supper'.

I remember most of these adverts from my HTV West days

I guess folk outside the NW must have that same WTF moment, when Holimarine comes on that I get when I see an ad for some mad shop we didn't get, like Neebs, lol.

"The Age Of The Train" was too old for Jimmy Savile.

What makes me laugh is the guy at the ad agency who picked Jimmy as “suitable” to do a british rail campaign seemed really proud that he managed to get Jimmy to do it, it was in a documentary on the history of british rail on BBC four before the scandal about him was outed in 2011!!!!

Can you imagine sharing a train with that nonce? Dear God! 0_0

Oh God, the Kandym- oh, Mr. Bassett! Sorry, I wasn't prepared.

Mickey Pearce from Only Fools And Horses in the Zanussi advert and Kevin The Teenager's dad in the Kellogg's Special K one too :)

And the brought "Savvo" in by train. Certainly the age of naivety not just the train.

I feel bad saying this but young Chris Tarrant looks awfully like Savile....

Jesus 16+% APR for saving £500, yes please. The inflation rate was 8.6% in 1982 too, so it like 10% higher now, and you're lucky to get 2% on savings today. £500 is about £2250 in today's money BTW.
