Watching these adverts from the 70s, you can hear the click in the film when it goes from one advert to the next. All commercials were aired on 16mm film back then, before videotape became the norm for ads around the 1980s.

Love this,we had Fairy soap and a tea caddy like that ❤

[@andrewswift9039]

Tom Browne who was the host of Radio 1’s Solid Gold Sixty also voiced ads for Lifebuoy soap around that same era

[@christopherbentley7289]

Awesome! So this would be VCR from the very eve of when my late mother (a 'Beryl'!) was about to start at our newly-built high school in early 1974 as the Audio-Visual Aids Technician - a then-novel job description - using the then-novel concept of VCR - I think, a Philips N1500, it would have been.

[@SuperGingerBickies]

I remember these ads on Granada (except the one reporting violence), including the Khadime perfume ad (there were lots of decent perfumes and calm exotic-themed perfume ads back in the day) - and those lovely, smooth and manly voice-overs including that of actor Anthony Valentine. Those Fairy toilet soap and Dreft ... memories.
Thank you for these!

[@garethbramley1]

Sounds like John Carson voicing the Yardley ad.

Beryl’s lot is something I’d like to see released on dvd by a company like network one day.

[@vbt302]

I've just uploaded the very first episode of Beryl's Lot which is very rare as it has never been released on DVD, I also have some more episodes of it if anyone is interested.

[@maverickcatmum]

Amazing, thanks again for these ultra rare Ulster Television clips!

[@shanditta1018]

Aahhhh those we're the days!!!!

[@shlibbermacshlibber4106]

People are often surprised at how many young couples used to keep a box of dreft in their car, but, it was the 70s, it was a different time

[@benjaminclasper9355]

And I’m 17 and I didn’t grow up then and I’ve only seen some footage and the theme tune from the show so I’d love to see it all in the near future sometime soon
But I have a big interest for old music and television too.

Hi Benjamin 👋.
Check out my 4 favourite sitcoms from that era , I think you will like them 👍.
They are-
‘ The Good Life’
‘Bless This House’
‘ Man About The House’
and ‘Butterflies’ ( which starred the then young actor Nicholas Lyndhurst, who went on to play Rodney in Only Fools and Horses)
Enjoy 😊.

Amazing upload! Liked & subbed

[@robmortimer4150]

What a holding slide there...

[@twitchygiraffe4636]

My god this is rare! Who had a video recorder in 1973?!

[@jasejj]

Folk with piles of money!
Which is why we'll probably never see any footage this old from Tyne Tees, as literally no-one had that sort of cash to spare in the region!

[@MrDannyDetail]

@@jasejj You must have had the odd celebrity or eccentric aristcrat in your area in that era, surely? Even if they were celebrities directly linked to Tyne Tees and who were only taping their own appearances.

[@markofsaltburn]

Kenneth Kendall, Lulu, Mike Batt and Peter Gordeno, to name but seven.

[@stickytapenrust6869]

These came from a load of tapes recorded by Queen’s University, Belfast.

[@scottblack9213]

So rare to find UTV Continuity from 1973! Who had the video recorder I wonder?

[@markofsaltburn]

‘70s boys were too delicate for rough sweaters.

[@marksi100]

Announcer is John O'Hara.

[@booksearch]

He's still keeping busy it seems! www.voiceoveruniverse.com/profile/JohnOHara

A Day before the PM Edward Heath announced to the nation about the Power/Oil Crisis and forthcoming The Three Day week plus ITV and the two BBC channels Closing down at 10.30pm

[@kengeorgejones6855]

Thank you. The younger woman in the Dreft ad looks so familiar. Is that Jan Chappell?

[@MrDannyDetail]

I thought the same, that she seemed familiar from somewhere.

[@markhardy4797]

Looks more like Prunella Gee to me.
