I think this was my all time favourite Christmas. I was 11 and got a tape recorder and I was taping all of these adverts adding my own content 😂

Happy memories for a child of the Thames/LWT region, loved Peter Marshall. ❤

Great present's i was 6 in 1980, take me back forty four year's please 😅

Brilliant line up

Take me back to 1980 please

@13:35 lots of people look at me blankly when I tell them about the listening bank.

@5:01 - it is too nice. I almost drunk a whole bottle once and had to point out to my brother that it is thick glass and you don't get as much as you would expect inside.

Interesting that the George and Mildred film debuted on TV only five months after its cinema release. Was special dispensation given for the film to be screened so quickly? Wasn't the normal rule four years after a cinema release?

@@Scatscar1985 Indeed, but the British film industry took its embargo on showing films on TV extremely seriously. Originally there was an 8 year limit set, later reduced to (IIRC) 4. Such a short amount of time as in this case was absolutely unheard of.

​@twitchygiraffe4636 a similar thing occurred when David Niven passed away in 1983. His final film was shown on BBC ONE that Christmas

​@@twitchygiraffe4636I remember hearing that on Radio 1's brief news bulletin just ahead of the Top 40 that year. Such a shame

I was there - must have wiped it from my memory thank god! Was it really that bad 😮

Dear God, the ads really were better than the programmes back then.

Ray Burdis leading out the football team in the Debenhams advert, and David Bradley enjoying a pipe full of St. Bruno. Michael Angelis and Chris Langham enjoying Skol lagers.
