Funny story with Buster, was walking with me mate and toddling daughter through Bournemouth square and I saw she had stopped and was talking to this old couple, my daughter thoroughly charmed the pants off of both and she kept saying to me "Dad Dad its uncle Albert" and blow me it actually was and what a nice bloke he was, gave my daughter 50p too and she didn't want to spend it because it was from him. She actually cried when his passing was announced and even said a nice prayer to me mum who had passed not so long before and told her she was very sad Albert had died. She gets all embarrassed when I recount the memory to her as she's all grown up now lol
Lovely story that mate 👍
I'm a hardcore gangster from Essex , if people won't something done they call me if you get me drifted and even I cried reading this
Aww, that was a great story.
Blue blooded murder of the English language.
@@ncrnw4385 Yes, indeed it is, but strangely entertaining also.
For someone who loves to reminisce on past classics, this is a god send. Thank you.
I wish youtube wouldn't put adverts in the middle of videos, they're interrupting me watching adverts.
This is absolute gold. First time I've ever seen any of these and now here on youtube instead of been lost in time.
This has made me realise how long I have not watched TV for, I have never seen any of these ads before.
My younger brother looks like Rodney trotter 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 people wanted his autograph in Newcastle 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The woman with del in the Abbey national ad was Fletchers daughter in porridge
Yup it was the very gorgeous Patricia Brake
Shes Got another man dad one of the most classic Porridge lines
Fingered Ingrid.
She's found another maaan dad
My wife worked on ‘Diamond Geezer’?? U.K. tv show David Jason stared in. I went up to a shoot one Sunday morning close to Buckingham Palace. David was such a nice man. Spent all the breaks in filming chatting with the crew, extras and the general public.
David Jason must've earnt far more from these ads than he ever did from the show itself.
I completely forgot about these ads, I’ve had false memories for years, I had the scenes in my head but they didn’t exist in the show, it was driving me mad, good to know my subconscious doesn’t completely make shit up though.
cant stand adverts usually but i have just watched 13 minutes off them and enjoyed every single one off them
Ads were actually somewhat enjoyable back in the day, most of them had wit. Unlike today.
*of
@@Challerz to afraid to offend people these days sadly
The Prestige Car Body repair advert had me thinking, if Boycie had made his own adverts as often car dealers did, it wouldn't be far off that
The actress who plays the wife in the abbey ad also played Ingrid. Fletchers daughter in Porridge and going straight
Patricia Brake.
yes she has just passed away
Only Fools Fans might like to read about this little experience I had when I was a student in London, about 1981. I used to live in South Kensington, near my university and one day I was walking along Knightsbridge, past the NatWest bank there. At the time I didn't have a TV and hadn't yet watched Only Fools. Any way as I passed I saw none other than David Jason on the other side of the road, (who was already very famous from children's TV and the odd adult comedy), standing outside the bank as if about to enter. What struck me was his strange attire and behaviour, he was wearing a flat cap, tan leather jacket, and shades. He sort of stood on the spot, turned his collar up and shrugged his shoulders. He then strode purposefully into the bank. I was struck by how he looked and behaved and was a bit surprised. Later during holidays I watched my first episode of Only Fools and realised that he had been in character as Del Boy, perhaps developing or practicing his character in public.
I met David Jason the day they filmed the bt ad, I was 9 then, 44 now lol. Such a lovely guy
11:05 highly trained technitions and its showing a guy wacking a car with a hammer. I love that bit.
Did anybody notice that the youngster working behind the counter in a w h smith advert, was the dead spit of a young Russell Tovey
@philipswales thanks mate 👍. It's good to know that my eyes are still working, even if at times i have doubts about my brain 🤣
Christ, I'm turning into an old git. I remember almost every one of these adverts!
Me too, good memories though when everything wasn't computerised, and it was normal for parents to encourage their children to play out and get shit up, fall over and learn about the world while building a foundation of common sense through memorable experiences.
@@deathstarHQ Very true. And statements like that also prove that we're getting old! 😄
‘Highly skilled technicians’ - cuts to mechanic bashing away at a car with a hammer..........
Omg forgot about the WHSMITH adverts. 😂
Looks like my ad blocker has malfunctioned
What a gem! The best sit com and the days when adverts were enjoyable to watch - unlike the p.c rubbish we get today.
Brilliant, thanks for sharing! Miss these days...
Maybe the BBC didn't notice these adverts only Nick Knowle's one, they never mentioned anything about the Walkers Crisps advert either because that guy works on Match of the Day as well
Gary Linekar and the cast of Only Fools will be freelance, which is to say they can undertake other work as well as their BBC work, and hence can do advertisements (though there will surely be some clause to say they can't bring the reputation of their BBC work into disrepute during their other work). With Nick Knowles he must have been directly employed by the BBC with and exclusivity clause that prevented other work. He was also seeking to directly profit from the reputation of his BBC show, in much the same way as Hugh Scully was when he was sacked from the Antiques Roadshow years ago.
Those Rodney WH Smith adverts should've been an actual sitcom!!
I definitely would've watched it. Fuckin hilarious man hahaha 🤣
Agreed, he is a funny funny guy!
I wonder who wrote them?
Nicholas was great as the different characters 👌🏼💯
That Rover one looks more like ‘93 than ‘83. The lads must have made some serious Poppy from those commercials
Definitely 93
Brilliant compilation
I only remember the WHSmith adverts but forgot they existed until just now. So I'm not very old but not flipping young either! :)
As I’m sat watching who’s a pretty boy on uk gold . I walk my dog past the Bolton pub all the time which is the opening scene . It’s gone now but the houses in shot all still there . I wondered what the van was doing outside the pub when walking to school once - now I know . My favourite show of all time
Only Fools And Horses ,was and still is the most effective product placement program on television.
I suspect that pretty much every episode namechecked various commercial brands and/or had them physically in shot somewhere or other. The most notable example is one of the Xmas specials in 1996 where a whole segment of the episode made heavy use of specific brands of coffee and gravy.
Quite a casting coup there for Prestige Body Repairs of Stoke Gardens, Slough
Funny how times have changed, Nick Knowles nearly got sacked by BBC the other day for doing an advert lol
I remember collecting phone cards as kids in our summer holidays. Now phone booths are just redundant.
Logically it was coming but we just didn't realise, now phone booths are tiny museums, shelter from the rain or both!
I went to a tiny noodle bar in Kyoto, which had old phone cards in the counter. It took me ages to work out what the "credit-card sized ads for whisky and films" even were (and this in a country where people do still use phone boxes, sometimes)
Jesus, those WH Smith Rodney ads bring back memories
A series inspired by the WH Smiths adverts would have been an absolute riot. 😂 Nicholas could have pulled it off though, he's a great, underrated actor. John Challis looks like two different people in the Grandee and Prestige adverts. It's amazing how drastic a change a simple moustache can make to a man's face. The music in the Prestige ad is the epitome of 80's cheese. lol
This is gold! Thank you
the grandee one, Took me about 10 seconds to realise it was boycie 😂
The Rover ad says 1983, but that Rover 400 was made between 1995-1999.
David Jason looks much older in that ad
Only ones I remember is the cigar advert with the guy in the cast.... the Dinosaur crisps one.... but the WH Smith's adverts were NEVER off tv, and remember them like they were only on tv last night
Prestige Body Repair shop must be very rare indeed.
The WHS one where there on holiday reminds me of the Episode when Del won a holiday and Rodney had to go as a 12 year old !!! :D Also in the Castella add David took over from his great lifelong friend Ronnie B.. who had done them previously
I remember the castella advert and the first showed Abbey National one.
Thanks again for these videos and of course your channel.
Haha remember cheques....and phoneboxes...
Loved it👍👍🤣
What is really amazing about those adverts, is the banks actually paid savers interest on their money. My how things have changed
Very clever off David Jason imagine the money he got off the adverts and good luck to him. The wh Smith one's the best
I bet Boycie never had to pay for motor repairs again after 10.40.
i really wish they made a couple with trigger in them they would have been really funny i imagine
*Am I a joke to you?*
@@Trigger_000 Alright Dave.
@@Trigger_000 😂
Never seen any of these. Magic..
the advert at 7:25 has 2 blink and you'll miss it appearances of a young Russell Tovey. (Being Human, Doctor Who, etc) he says nothing, but it's definitely him.
Also, gift wrapping paper used to cost...a penny.
“My videos don’t have pre roll ads”… I got two. One for Starling and one for Just Eat 😂 great collection though
Omg I remember the WHSmiths adverts!
I only vaguely remember those WH Smith ones, the Seely one and the cupasoup one for some reason. The rest are either regional ads or weren't shown long enough to be remembered. I suspect the one where they're actually playing the parts of their characters from OFAH wasn't a British one. Otherwise, the Beeb would have had something to say about it.
Brilliant! Great memories
I remember these. Feeling old now lol 😂
This is gold dust!
As a Geordie, i rememver vividy the wave of anger from the north east at the stereotypical family and their newcastle united outfits at 8:19. The WHSmith ads very quickly and quietly vanished after that.
Thought Del Boy had a “Brick” mobile phone back in the 80’s why is he using phone boxes 🤣😂
I remember the day WHSmith adverts 😂
These are great!
A young Russell Tovey at 07:49
Oh I never noticed that. 👍
Thought he looked familiar.
Verry good verry funny indeed love it
Wow 😮 Thank You 🎃 for up load. I remember some but forgot all about them.
your welcome
I totally remember those WH Smith adverts
Oldy days good days
I remember all these. I can't believe the 70's Spangles advert with Nicolas Lydhurst and Pogo Patterson from Grange Hill wasn't on here!
David Jason has raked in over the years. Talk about venture capitalism and nepotism? The understatement of understatements.
He was still doing it last year, for big pharma.
Nepotism? Who's he related to?
He's always been in demand
Great adverts 😀😀
I want a family Rodney skit lol
I remember those W.H. smiths adverts Lol
This was great to see
Brilliant 🤩
Back before 1990, it was usually BBC stars who appeared in most adverts on ITV and later Channel 4. This was down to a very old rule from the 1950s when ITV started which said stars associated with big ITV shows could not benefit from doing commercials on ITV. This led to BBC stars instead appearing in commercials. Such as Morecambe and Wise, Two Ronnies, Only Fools cast etc. That all changed with the 1990 Broadcasting Act when that rule was finally abolished.
wow, didn't know that
@@OnlyFoolsHorses Hi, yes I didn't know, until I came across an article on the Transdiffusion website, a website which is all about the history of broadcasting. The original Independent Television Authority felt that big stars of ITV were already paid a lot more than what the BBC could offer, so that big salary was their incentive for not being able to do adverts on ITV. The authority felt if too many adverts were all ITV stars, it could lead to the government thinking ITV was going the same path as the American stations, "crass commercialism" and so the restriction was laid down. So BBC stars who earned a lot less for working at the BBC, got paid a lot more for adverts. So, for the ITA and the government, a balance was created. All of that was thrown into the dustbin by Margaret Thatcher come early 1990 and her broadcasting act.
awesome information
@@OnlyFoolsHorses Thanks, I only remembered it when I clicked on your video, just popped into my head.
Fletchers daughter from porridge.
I remember some of them
Brilliant
so freaking funny im rolling :)
I only remember the Buster Merryfield Skips one lol
Adverts you could actually watch and enjoy!
No one did voice overs like Hywell Bennett.
I remember them WH Smith adverts.
Did you know that Nicholas Lyndhurst's commercials for WH Smith received a BAFTA?
I was just about to put that up on here 🤣😊
That car advert is so 90s
11.43 - 12.08: I thought that Jay Foreman would have crashed into the frame so he could sing his song.
The Nicholas Lyndhurst WHSmiths ones were terrifying.
Nicholas Lyndhurst in drag 😲😀😀😀
8:11 didn't expect to see Everything but the girl in this video...
I wonder if Buster did a very childish thing after that skips advert.
Omg I remember that cup a soup one
11:39 Great text alignment.
Prestige body repairs did it for me lol 👍
I have still got an Abby National Cheque book.
Sealy Beds advert was 1982 not 1999 i thought Nicholas Lyndhurst looked Young in it. 8:27
Nobody even noticed that the big manor house in the abbey national ad was used in a touch of glass from series 3
Sorry to say but it isnt
A Touch of Glass was series 2
No it isn't. Clayesmore School was used in a touch of glass in *series 2*.
I'm skipping Ads to watch Ads. ? Only in 2021
Those WHS ads have a special place in Hell. Wrong on every level. The TV ad version of the Cats movie.
That Rover ad was actually 1993 not 1983
7:45 A young Russell Tovey from Him & Her, Being Human etc?
Its amazing how now Banks charge you admin fee and all they do is click a button. We should charge them to talk to us as its our money in their bank making them money!
How the fuk have u done this 🤣
They had Uncle Albert do a Jurassic Park advert?
crisps I believe
Great list but there’s another Abbey National ad where Del is in a restaurant.
