You forgot popcorn in your hair, that annoying kid who kicked the back of your seat, slurped his pop and eat a weeks supply of sweets and chocolate all before the film only to be sick all down your back. Halcian days.
That's interesting. It has always reminded me of part of the instrumental section of Richard Harris's 'MacArthur Park' of 1968, which certainly places it datewise. Memorable.
I still call it..the pictures.. Saturday afternoon with ya mates, buster crabbs flash Gordon then Jon eilis Tarzan then a film like Jason and Argonauts, throwing stuff off the balcony. Kids don't know how to party these days
"Going up the pictures" or going to the flicks" never the "cinema" that was posh. 👍😁 Where did the expression "Gone up the pictures" meaning something's gone wrong come from?
That Silk Cut advert is absolutely insane looking at it with 2021 eyes. And High Karate is not much better. Terrific. Thanks for posting these. I'm bloody old but happy to have been young in the 70's, 80's and 90's.

Mate, that was the world where Jimmy Saville could run riot because everyone didn’t believe stuff like that happened. Innocence is great in children, it’s a lot less good in adults.
@@IanBetteridge They knew and did nothing, maybe they still know things and do nothing. But that isn't the what I meant to comment on or thought people would think of, it was those times and how it felt, that's all.
Used to love these, many scratches as they had probably been run through the projectors hundreds of times and the 'thumps' on the sound track where they had been spliced in, brilliant :)
thanks for the memorys this brings back woman with a light on a tray and the slurping of the orange juice would love to see these days come back cinema was our entertainment thanks for sharing this video with us all
I've set the pearl and Dean ident video to play before any movie I play through plex. It looks amazing when I stream it to my projector outside at night, on a 10ft screen. The kids love it.
Oh How I Miss The 1970's !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, I Was Lucky Enough To Go To The Cinema, About Three Time's A Week,. Just BRILLIANT I Want To Go Back To The 1970's , Can I Go Back Right NOW, Please,.
One of the regional advertisements for a local ironmongers began with a bloke shouting, BEAUTIFUL KNOCKERS!!! Had me and my mates in stitches every time...
Kia-Ora came with a plastic straw with a paper covering . We would break the end of the paper then blow the straw in the air then outline of a snake appeared on the screen as the paper fluttered to the floor. The Usherette would put her touch on trying to find the guilty party. Also it was a so and so trying to push the straw into the carton.
I remember this as a kid-the Pearl and Dean intro-it brings back great memories of sitting in the cinema with my family, waiting for the main feature to start! Thanks for uploading and for the trip down Memory Lane. I liked it and subscribed.
Ah my childhood taken to the local flea pit to watch the latest cartoon film and Saturday morning film club when we were on holiday back in the 70s. Sometimes the Pearl and Dean adds were better than the actual film. Wish i could visit the 70s and 80s again. Happy days
haha yes i rember if the film was shit me and my sister would dare each other to go up to the screen and wave our arms about, or run right round the cinema, we had to go every saturday just to get us out nomatter what film was showing
@@JudgeMarmianWiZard lol i remember kids scrambling to get on the stage underneath the screen just for a laugh as well. Who knew it was done all over the UK and not just here in Durham. As long as i got my badge on my way out when it was over i was happy. Full of Kiora, ice cream, crisps and ket resulting in a full sugar rush that lasted hours. 🤣🤣👍
Ah, Lyons Maid ice cream....so hard the little wooden spoon would snap and Kia Ora orange juice that made you so hyper you couldn’t sit still for hours. Aaah happy days!
My gran had a sweet shop and sold Lyons Maid products and Kia-Ora as well as Tip Top drinks, forgot the ice cream was so hard it bent spoons trying to dish it out, my mum used a sharp knife to cut it if it was in a block. Happy days.
@@royzview6254 yup and those Vienettas as well. Preferred that to an arctic roll. I even remember going to a birthday party as a small child and we each had a jelly shaped as a rabbit with a cream bob tail and i went home declaring how posh my best mate was and why didnt we have rabbit shaped jelly! Lol good old days.
There was a door furniture company opposite the Odeon in Bromley called "Knobs and Knockers"... you can imagine the hilarity when their advert was shown! :)
At that time, all BBC employees had to use only RP accents. My friend's mother-in-law was Scottish, and had to have dialect coaching to change her accent to RP before they'd let her on the air, even in Scotland. As regional accents became more acceptable, Terry reverted to his natural accent.
I always remember at the end of the 70s seeing a dated advert for a local clothes shop that went along the lines of " that's the gear, man. Really cool and trendy!" We laughed like drains as someone paraded around in a pair of synthetic flared leg trousers, a nylon shirt with a huge collar and a tie as wide as a trouser leg. The 70s were amazing and I went from 7 to 17, what a decade!
It's the early 80s, the ABC cinema Bournemouth, the Pearl & Dean stock Indian Restaurant advert comes on, when the clip showing the sheek kebab came up the whole cinema shouts "Turd on a plate", Ah the good old days before the world turned sour.
Those were indeed the days. A more innocent time? My father taking me to see a film I wasn’t really old enough to watch, come back dad. Very nostalgic.
As a 56-year old, this takes me back to the days when my parents took me to see the latest Disney releases in our nearby (one screen) cinema. For local businesses, I well recall the use of generic '70s 'vibe' commercials, each followed by what was essentially a static card with voiceover tailored to the specific business (as shown). These were voiced by a typical RP-speaker, even though we were in South Wales, and this sometimes led to hilarious (for us, at least) mispronunciations of local place names! I thought the Milk Tray Man might put in an appearance here but it seems he's hung up his skis, ropes and harpoon gun for good. ('Must be about eighty by now, if the sharks didn't get him.)
@Induxvideos Wasn't smoking only allowed on the right hand side of the cinema? Didn't they used to make an announcement? As if the stink and smoke didn't travel.
@Induxvideos I remember as a kid in the seventies an announcement on the speakers "For the comfort and safety of our patrons, smoking is only permitted on the right hand side of this auditorium". Cue punters on the left side groping their way in the dark over to the right. 🙄
Do you remember Valerie Leon (fondly rememberd by all Hammer horror fans) advertising Hai Karate? I dont think I ever used it but I dont think it smelt to good by todays standards? Steve ( Gails husband)
@@gailbrocksom433 ha ha ha it definitely doesn't smell good by todays standards , but as a 15 year old in 1983 and on a School skiing trip to France, it came in very handy when the small Toilet in a room shared by 3 Boys Took an absolute Hammering after a night eating bad Pizzas' The Hai Karate was used as an Air Freshener in the Toilet, not sure if it improved the smell or not .... lol great times
That was written by Jeff Wayne who had a huge hit with War of the Worlds, The Human League did a decent cover of the Gordons Gin tune on one of their early pre Dare albums.
This video reminds me so much of watching Mary Millington flicks like 'Come Play With Me' and other soft porn films in Leicester Square when I was a young man in the RAF stationed at Hendon in the late 70s!
seems those adverts had a lasting effect on me been a carpet fitter for 35 years now, got 4 bottles of gordans gin in the cupboard and a bottle kia-ora orange squash in the fridge
Yup. Pearl and Dean intros, intervals halfway through, and the air extractor doing bugger all to remove the smog from the 'smokers side' of the cinema. Happy days(?)
It was during a Pearl & Dean advert in the 70s that I learned that "indifferent" was another word for "better". There was a young couple in the row behind me and the girl said "oh, that's better" and the guy said "yes, it's in different".
Gary Foley you were doing it wrong. We used to get bladdered on the original live yeast Guiness then go home to put a Fray Bentos pie in the oven and the chip pan on. Invariably you would fall asleep with a lit woodbine falling down the back of the sofa then wake to find the chip pan on fire.
That Gordon's Gin ad was much better than the utter bollocks they show now...saying That, all the adverts in this upload are better than the crap they show now...
@@SteeeveO Me too, great days i was a teenager, No Aids yet to worry about, Penicillin cured everything, i picked up a different nurse from the local hospital Nurses quarters flats every night. Jack from On the buses had nothing on me
@@oscarwilde5473 or how about Meatloaf at knebworth in the rain with his leg in a black plaster cast after falling off stage in Oz falling flat on his back on the slippery stage, laying like a beached whale and being the instant target for every piss filled bottle in range.🤣🤣🤣🤣👍
Every time I see this Pearl & Dean typeface I partly keep thinking of ITV's 'World Of Sport' in the back of my mind because they used it in the majority of The 1970's back then.
Ooh, I've come over all nostalgic, loved the silk cut ads, they were always good. One I remember as a mainstay was the "super hotdog" ad, surprised it wasn't in the clip.
Anyone remember an advert for Wang & Cohen, Chinese and Jewish restaurant? It was around the back of the Empire, Leicester Square, in China Town. Straight up, no messing.
I doubt anyone would have smoked if they had the pleasure of cleaning the tar that would literally drip from the cinema extract fans. Makes me feel ill just remembering that pleasure.😒
More like "will the owner of the yellow Lada Riva convertible please call the local skip hire company as they think they have your car. And can they have the skip back please as it's worth more than your car!"
Gordon's Gin, Silk Cut and Kia-Ora were most definitely shown at the cinema during the Pearl & Dean intermission, but Oxo cubes and any other TV commerical were not shown in any of the cinemas I went to in the 70's.
That Zulu Silk Cut advert brought a smile to my face. Imagine that on your advert on our TV's these days? "Beam me back to the '60s or early '70s Scotty," this place is driving me insane with envy. Although to be honest that Sunkist muck was beyond disgusting.
In an episode of "Have I Got News For You" in 2010, guest host Bruce Forsyth said that after every take where he had to bite into a scone with Stork spread on it, he had to spit it out into a bucket by his feet. He hated the stuff, but said if they needed someone for an advert (i.e. if there was a fee) then he was available.
Butter made from whatever cows eat in the grass. Ever seen it made? High in cholesterol. Magarine hygienically made with added vitamins A & D, tastes good too.
Anthony Hobson that stuff is so rank flies won't bother it? When my grandad was found dead after a week one hot summer back in the seventies there was a tub of it open in the kitchen. Not a single mark was found on it.
I remember the Gordon's gin ad, and the Human League version so I did a bit of research. Jeff Wayne also did the music for the war of the worlds. . Gordon's Gin is the title of an instrumental track written by Jeff Wayne and recorded by The Human League for inclusion on the Travelogue album. The track was originally written and recorded by Wayne for the cinema advertisement for Gordon's Gin in the late 1970's. The commercial end witht e famous slogan "It's got to be Gordon's". Only a demo 7" single of the original exists, under the name of Jeff Wayne Music. The recording was engineered by Martin Rushent, who would later work with The Human League as producer.
We had Local ones advertising the Local Businesses. IE: We had Patric McKnee eating In the Local Chinese Restaurant. Great memories of the Best Years of Cinema. I went to see the Latest Pirate movie with My Daughter (She Is a big Johnny Depp Fan) I noticed You so much as Sneezed to loud You were out. In My day they used to Dance In the Allies and sing along to the songs. So much for the Getting Into the film. How times have changed Kids don't how to enjoy themselves no more. Sad.
OXO adverts at the cinema really I don't remember them, seems like a silly place to inspire a craving for gravy just before the main feature. Terry Wogan didn't sound very Irish, did he get more Irish as he got older?
"Terry Wogan didn't sound very Irish, did he get more Irish as he got older?" - yes, just as Cilla became more scouse as she got older (or maybe just when she was on TV).
you didnt realise how much, orange juice, coca cola,tomato sauce, hot dog and chocolate sauce and ice cream you had spilt down your shirt till you got outside in the daylight............................"Mbongoland" lol !!, innocent days !
John Bird is not a Wacist, he's one of Britain's greatest satirists. What hes doing there is a variation of his Ugandan Dictator Idi Amin impression (a real Fascist). Recent history is a mystery to millions
@@kel5787 This version was retired July 1996 with the new film strip logo debuting in time for the summer holiday season. Ironically it had only been remastered, cleaned up and given a new Dolby SR stereo soundtrack in 1995! It made a brief reappearance in P & D's 50th Anniversary year in 2013 where cinema goers voted back in their favourite into - no surprise this one won!
ABC Cinema Sheffield near the 'hole in the road', advertised with Pearl&Dean if I recall correctly. Remember as a kid queuing up in the tunnel to watch 'Grease'
i rember there was these girls at school 4 of them who copied and made a dance routine up to the kia ora advert on t.v and the whole school had to watch them on stage, then they made up another number to the UM Bongo ad but the teachers refused to let them do a performance for that so they did it in the playground instead for us kids.
Ah, the bad old days when junkie stick ads were still legal. Kia-Ora, otherwise known as weak orange squash in a plastic box. The Chris's cabs phone number is now a hydroponics company. And does anyone remember 'Have fun with a hot dog?' The punchline was, 'An hour from now you'll wish you'd had one!'
In 1970 I went to a special presentation at the National Film Theatre put on by Pearl and Dean. The first thing I asked them is "what happened to Mr Younger?" If, like me, you grew up in the 1950s the ad show featured a slow zoom up to a ruined classical temple, to Trevor Duncan's music "Grand Vista" . Followed by "Pearl, Dean and Younger present..." Apparently Mr Younger left the firm so his name was dropped. The ads which followed were remarkably similar to what you see on this show. Still the ice cream and Kia-Ora although the local restaurants only appeared in the 1960s (all, apparently, only 50 yards from this theatre).

seems those adverts had a lasting effect on me been a carpet fitter for 35 years now, got 4 bottles of gordans gin in the cupboard and a bottle kia-ora orange squash in the fridge
Apocalyptic Weasel live the dream!
Yup. Pearl and Dean intros, intervals halfway through, and the air extractor doing bugger all to remove the smog from the 'smokers side' of the cinema. Happy days(?)
It was during a Pearl & Dean advert in the 70s that I learned that "indifferent" was another word for "better". There was a young couple in the row behind me and the girl said "oh, that's better" and the guy said "yes, it's in different".
I don't wish to know that. Kindly leave the stage.
There's a similar joke, based on the word 'indecent'.
Then off to a Berni Inn for tough steak and a flat pint of Brew XI or home for a Vesta curry.
What s not to like ?
Spot on
Gary Foley you were doing it wrong. We used to get bladdered on the original live yeast Guiness then go home to put a Fray Bentos pie in the oven and the chip pan on. Invariably you would fall asleep with a lit woodbine falling down the back of the sofa then wake to find the chip pan on fire.
@@MrDegsy69 Nah, that wasn’t us. Sounded like those roughouses at No. 17.
You forgot the schooner of Sherry and the Irish coffee.
That Gordon's Gin ad was much better than the utter bollocks they show now...saying That, all the adverts in this upload are better than the crap they show now...
Ahhhhh back in the day!!! I use to love the trailers coming up after
I'm heading back to 1975 next week for a holiday
I'm retiring to 1974-77.

Remember quite a few of those, thanks for the memories.
I’m so glad I’m old. Oh the memories of better days!
Every time I see this Pearl & Dean typeface I partly keep thinking of ITV's 'World Of Sport' in the back of my mind because they used it in the majority of The 1970's back then.
did anyone else 'pah, pah, pah, pah' along to the intro? I know i did! Fond memories of being a youngster!
Anyone else? I'd reckon just about everyone!👍😉
an absolute classic!!!
Ooh, I've come over all nostalgic, loved the silk cut ads, they were always good. One I remember as a mainstay was the "super hotdog" ad, surprised it wasn't in the clip.
Just realised that the last time I went to the cinema there were no ads. I liked it when cinema ads were totally different to tv ads
Anyone remember an advert for Wang & Cohen, Chinese and Jewish restaurant? It was around the back of the Empire, Leicester Square, in China Town. Straight up, no messing.
Was it a kosher Chinese or an actual fusion attempt? Just the name is making me laugh.
@@dechips Don't know, my older brother first told me about it, then i saw the ad myself years later but never thought to look out up at the time.
That brought back a memory .
Hi Karate aftershave and compilation albums from K Tel 👌
Who came here for 0:00-0:16?
Me!!
Totally
Adverts for Alcohol, cheap aftershave and cigarettes coupled with casual sexism and racism. I miss my childhood!
@@martinholmes1493 You don't half talk crap 🙄
Quite fancy a Silk Cut after watching that
“Casual” racism? That was all-out blackface!
@@ArmyJamesYeah, that was just racism.
I doubt anyone would have smoked if they had the pleasure of cleaning the tar that would literally drip from the cinema extract fans. Makes me feel ill just remembering that pleasure.😒
Remember a sign coming up asking for the owner of a particular car to move it as its blocking the entrance of the car park.
More like "will the owner of the yellow Lada Riva convertible please call the local skip hire company as they think they have your car. And can they have the skip back please as it's worth more than your car!"
Gordon's Gin, Silk Cut and Kia-Ora were most definitely shown at the cinema during the Pearl & Dean intermission, but Oxo cubes and any other TV commerical were not shown in any of the cinemas I went to in the 70's.
That Zulu Silk Cut advert brought a smile to my face. Imagine that on your advert on our TV's these days? "Beam me back to the '60s or early '70s Scotty," this place is driving me insane with envy. Although to be honest that Sunkist muck was beyond disgusting.
Not into technology much but a time machine would be good at the moment .
Ah yes, the days before racism was bad.
I worked in a Major London Cinema and people used to rush out to get a drink, hot dogs, popcorn, even cigarettes.
Subliminal messaging works look at the sheeple in masks, over 10 years ago Darren Brown explained how it works
In an episode of "Have I Got News For You" in 2010, guest host Bruce Forsyth said that after every take where he had to bite into a scone with Stork spread on it, he had to spit it out into a bucket by his feet. He hated the stuff, but said if they needed someone for an advert (i.e. if there was a fee) then he was available.
Anthony Hobson Margarine? Y-U-C-K! There ain't no substitute for good ol' butter.
P.S. Ronnie B. plugs for Kia-Ora just like in his classic "appeals".
Even back then, Bruce's Price was Right.
@@rodrigoarayap1995 -"Welcome back to butter" and "You can't put a better bit of butter on your knife".
Butter made from whatever cows eat in the grass. Ever seen it made? High in cholesterol. Magarine hygienically made with added vitamins A & D, tastes good too.
Anthony Hobson that stuff is so rank flies won't bother it? When my grandad was found dead after a week one hot summer back in the seventies there was a tub of it open in the kitchen. Not a single mark was found on it.
Kia-Ora always just made me even more thirsty than I was in the first place.
That's why they sold it.
Wow that’s so true , I remember thinking that
Genius invention by the drinks company. The more you drank, the more dehydrated you became. And then you had to buy another.
I remember the Gordon's gin ad, and the Human League version so I did a bit of research. Jeff Wayne also did the music for the war of the worlds.
.
Gordon's Gin is the title of an instrumental track written by Jeff Wayne and recorded by The Human League for inclusion on the Travelogue album.
The track was originally written and recorded by Wayne for the cinema advertisement for Gordon's Gin in the late 1970's. The commercial end witht e famous slogan "It's got to be Gordon's".
Only a demo 7" single of the original exists, under the name of Jeff Wayne Music. The recording was engineered by Martin Rushent, who would later work with The Human League as producer.
love this style of music it's like something off tom & Jerry
memories of when I saw the first Star Wars film and 2001 A Space Odyssey
Cuddles in Lapworth looks banging.
Mr Andrew me too..off d lights...brings so much of memories
love the indian restaurant ad. Thanks for uploading it
So much gold in here
We had Local ones advertising the Local Businesses. IE: We had Patric McKnee eating In the Local Chinese Restaurant. Great memories of the Best Years of Cinema. I went to see the Latest Pirate movie with My Daughter (She Is a big Johnny Depp Fan) I noticed You so much as Sneezed to loud You were out. In My day they used to Dance In the Allies and sing along to the songs. So much for the Getting Into the film. How times have changed Kids don't how to enjoy themselves no more. Sad.
My youth returns.
This makes me yearn for a top deck!
OXO adverts at the cinema really I don't remember them, seems like a silly place to inspire a craving for gravy just before the main feature. Terry Wogan didn't sound very Irish, did he get more Irish as he got older?
They obviously weren’t very effective - he was advertising Bovril !
"Terry Wogan didn't sound very Irish, did he get more Irish as he got older?" - yes, just as Cilla became more scouse as she got older (or maybe just when she was on TV).
you didnt realise how much, orange juice, coca cola,tomato sauce, hot dog and chocolate sauce and ice cream you had spilt down your shirt till you got outside in the daylight............................"Mbongoland" lol !!, innocent days !
If Mbongoland isnt locked down i'd live there
These are brilliant. My youth!
John Le Mesurier.......master of eyebrow-raising!.....and the best ad. here!
The Silk Cut commercial was wonderful. You can see why The National Front was doing well
John Bird is not a Wacist, he's one of Britain's greatest satirists. What hes doing there is a variation of his Ugandan Dictator Idi Amin impression (a real Fascist). Recent history is a mystery to millions
Happy days .great era
Man I remember. Loved this intro.
excellent! so many memories...
they still play the theme song at showcase cinemas
shlibber pearl and dean do the adverts at showcase cinemas (UK)
When I went to see The Incredibles 2 at Showcase De Lux, it had the 2014 logo.
@@kel5787 This version was retired July 1996 with the new film strip logo debuting in time for the summer holiday season. Ironically it had only been remastered, cleaned up and given a new Dolby SR stereo soundtrack in 1995! It made a brief reappearance in P & D's 50th Anniversary year in 2013 where cinema goers voted back in their favourite into - no surprise this one won!
ABC Cinema Sheffield near the 'hole in the road', advertised with Pearl&Dean if I recall correctly. Remember as a kid queuing up in the tunnel to watch 'Grease'
"It's too orangy for crows. It's just for me and my dog." I loved the taste of Kia-ora. But my Mum said it was too expensive.
“I’ll be your dawg”
And now the woke people say it's too offensive... ;-0
Always tasted of harsh chemicals to me, and gave me a blinding headache 🤣🙈😆
i rember there was these girls at school 4 of them who copied and made a dance routine up to the kia ora advert on t.v and the whole school had to watch them on stage, then they made up another number to the UM Bongo ad but the teachers refused to let them do a performance for that so they did it in the playground instead for us kids.
@@alexandercavendishsimson3962 the panda pops drink which was 8p per bottle used to give me asthma attacks o.m.g
I find it strange that when p and d celebrated they're anniversary in 2012 that's when cineworld changed their advertising company
Cineworld brought out and now own Digital Cinema Media which was Pearl & Deans rival in cinema advertising.
Once went out with a girl nicknamed Pearl and Dean as it’s the only part of the film she’d would see 😉
Back row?😉
8:55 Julie Peasgood - had a real crush on her!
Ah, the bad old days when junkie stick ads were still legal. Kia-Ora, otherwise known as weak orange squash in a plastic box. The Chris's cabs phone number is now a hydroponics company. And does anyone remember 'Have fun with a hot dog?' The punchline was, 'An hour from now you'll wish you'd had one!'
In 1970 I went to a special presentation at the National Film Theatre put on by Pearl and Dean. The first thing I asked them is "what happened to Mr Younger?" If, like me, you grew up in the 1950s the ad show featured a slow zoom up to a ruined classical temple, to Trevor Duncan's music "Grand Vista" . Followed by "Pearl, Dean and Younger present..." Apparently Mr Younger left the firm so his name was dropped. The ads which followed were remarkably similar to what you see on this show. Still the ice cream and Kia-Ora although the local restaurants only appeared in the 1960s (all, apparently, only 50 yards from this theatre).
