I always loved the music from this ad, I only discovered who it was by when TH-cam was first around and someone else put this clip up! Reminds me of my dad withdrawing money when I was pretty young. They should do a follow up ad now with the same guy!
I put plenty in because on Saturday night I’ll need to withdraw a tenner! Lolz. I remember that matching shorts and vest top look for girls with perms and the fringe hair sprayed as high as possible like a dam! Pure nostalgia!
That was an actual functional Natwest branch on Castle Street in Liverpool until they moved out sometime either last year or 2018. It's a shame because it's one incredible building.
What confuses me though is the scene with the Liver Buildings is at the bottom of Water Street. You can’t see them from the old branch on Castle Street.
I can just see how his date went with that bird .. "So you gonna take me to the pictures then ?" "Sure ! What do you wanna watch ?" "I fancy that new Dracula movie that's just come out." "Err...Sorry, I can't take you to see that ." "Why not ?" "I'm not old enough.."
At the time I worked for the same bank, in the same position and was the same age. And if you dated a co-worker one of you would have to get a transfer - dating staff in your branch was banned. So was having a bank account with any other bank or going overdrawn
Can anyone please identify and post or link the bank ad with Crocketts theme and a storyline of a father, in his home library room, writing a letter to his son who is far away in a jungle with natives, living his own life. The father gives his son advice about the future and tells him (if I remember) to live his dream. Powerful emotion.
Have you got the others in this series. "We get all sorts here, couples, you know, kiddies on the way, I bought Charlie in once. Never again". We used to laugh so much at these scripts.
That one is called “Daniel’s Mum” about a Mortgage advisor; there is also (from memory) one called “Skittles” featuring a Pensions Advisor; one called “Greengrocers Son” for the Business Manager and “Riding A Bike” for Share Dealing. “Filling the Machine” got a lot more airtime than the others.

I wonder if he still feels the same when he's progressed to Branch Manager and she's ran off with another man and taken his house and kids, had the car repossessed, and he's back living at his mams 😅
If not for the fact he looks too old for when this ad aired, I'd have sworn that the ginger haired lad was Edward Fidoe, who played Eric Banks in Woof.
This advert reminds me what a bunch of 💩 Natwest are nowadays. Closing tons of branches, removing loads of ATMs, making many staff redundant - yet still paying a crap interest rate on savings and expensive loan rates. Not to mention de-banking customers they don't like.
@@a1white Look at England, 99% of the country isn't black. So why is just about every advert all black apart from the typical white woman black man!!! Let's do adverts in India and the Carribean with 99% white people. white man, Indian/black woman. Let's see how that goes down!!!!
@@dpa7175 hahaha oh fcking hell. Mate, I live in London. Funnily enough, it’s a diverse city with many different cultures and (*gasp*) skin tones (and I have absolutely no issue with that, at all).

"I do a bit of everything." ( Including his female colleague, apparently).
@C R I Z L A 😂😂😂 Top notch
He'll withdraw when he loses interest though
@@julesr617 Ha ha ! Very good ! :D
He was young, who can blame him! He had cash on the hip, I was about the same age as he was back then, I weren’t no different! 😂
Wearing his Dad's suit it would seem!
That's the theme I was looking for. Thank you. Back when adverts were adverts.
'Crockett's Theme' by Jan Hammer. That's the track and the reason you're here, obviously.
Doing gods work 😊
Yes boss… thanks ❤
I came here for the comments. I wasn't disappointed.
Indeed.

"Saturday night I'll be on the other side of that wall." Shame you're not old enough to get served anywhere, son.
In the 90s I was out drinking in bars at 15 - nobody cared
Back when I worked in a banking call centre department handling complaints, this was the only song that made me get to work in the morning.

I recall working out it was in Liverpool by the end scene, as its quite a well known view.
However I have no knowledge of the branch.
I used to go in there when I worked in Liverpool. Fantastic architecture. Didn't realise they'd closed it down. Shame.
What confuses me though is the scene with the Liver Buildings is at the bottom of Water Street. You can’t see them from the old branch on Castle Street.
"I'm still quite junior." You're not kidding sunshine (he was barely 16 in real ! )
Great music and great bank advett from a great decade
Yeah, the 80’s & 90’s can’t be beat in general, but the adverts were a LOT better than the rubbish we get now days!
Is it me or when he comes out the bank looks he’s been let out of jail
"Norman Stanley Fletcher..."
@Steve Forest Nailed it 😂
That’s exactly how it felt trust me!
DYINGGGG 😂😂😂
He needs a suit that fits.
Christ, I remember this advert and the very early 90s fashion: look at the girls tousled hair!
2024 and I still frequently quote “course we do, it’s not all work work work”
The bird has the most amazing smile x
She’s too 80s
I remember girls in those times - like eating sushi off the barber shop floor.

What gets me is the shot starting at 0:21... how many people are working there?? Nowadays you go into any bank and you'll see maybe 4 people tops.
Jesus I remember this advert when I was a kid
"The girl ? That's Sharon, most of the blokes here have offered her some interest."
How's the inflation?
I remember this advert ! Couldn’t remember the bank though. Over 30 years ago now .
When life was simple
I can just see how his date went with that bird .. "So you gonna take me to the pictures then ?" "Sure ! What do you wanna watch ?" "I fancy that new Dracula movie that's just come out." "Err...Sorry, I can't take you to see that ." "Why not ?" "I'm not old enough.."
It's shag shag shag
Omg I’m so old!! 😂😂😂
As if that bird would be interested in a spotty school-leaver !
She’d be screwing the manager
@ It’s funny because it’s so true!😂😂😂

Really ? Did you meet the smug twat who does a bit of eveything, and the bird who played his unlikely girlfriend ?
Darren - You worked at the actual bank where this was filmed in Liverpool ?
If he served me at the bank, I'd ask to speak to his dad...
I'm a banker ..and i bank all day!
After 31 years, I've just realised the shot of the smug twat and his bird was on a boat out on the Mersey.
He was such a smug that wasn’t he?
Jesus, he was just supposed to be a young lad enjoying himself!
It's not all work work work. There's fucking Sharon as well.
I wonder if these two are still together
Do we shag? Of course we do , it's not all work , work, work.
A trip on the Birkenhead ferry - who said romance was dead, eh ?
31 years old. We just use our phones now. I go to an ATM about twice a year.
what is the Tune by who..I played it on piano and realised was this tune
Jan Hammer - Crockett's Theme, I believe.
Yes, James Casey is correct. It is Crockett's Theme by Jan Hammer from the tv series Miami Vice.
Wow !! Seems like it only yesterday.
Can anyone please identify and post or link the bank ad with Crocketts theme and a storyline of a father, in his home library room, writing a letter to his son who is far away in a jungle with natives, living his own life.

Are we talking about the cash machine or the girl?
@@superbracey 😂

I can't understand why no one makes adverts like this. Most adverts these days just aren't entertaining
I heard somewhere the girl was called Sharon. Anyway, she looks like a Sharon, that name suits her.
Could swear I have just seen him in the last series of Desmonds on Gold
it's Ricky from Desmonds barber shop tv series

Great advert. Those old ATMs with the green graphics take me right back to London 1988. Where is the location at 0:05?
Liverpool. Liver buildings
@@robg109 Ah, great thanks. So it is!
Can anyone remember a specific ad with a father writing a letter to his son who was in a remote jungle. Same music, so Lloyds bank.
Nationwide
I remember this ad when it came out - even now I have no idea how they got away with it
Got away with what?
@@RaferJeffersonIII one of the guys in the background has his flaccid penis out. No idea how no one noticed it when filming.
Yeah, what did they get away with? 😂
When do you improve Runcorn?
I don't believe this guy...he's the typical "Mug me" victim at the cashpoint, flourishing his money with a big smile.
Even at the time I thought…he’s got like £20 out of the machine…I know it’s the early 90s but it would still have bought naff all
What's he doing working in a bank? Shouldn't he be at school?
Only been working there half a tomato season
Anyone know the music used
Its called Crocketts Theme. It was originally by Jan Hammer (1988) for Miami Vice, and also performed brilliantly by The Shadows (1990).
@@ChrizRocksterAnd also gta vice city
Is that Sky Sport Boxings Adam Smith at 0:23?!
Ha, Yeah I think it is 😅
always wondered if they were a real couple and what they do now.
the lad was in the sitcom Desmond's as a trainee hairdresser :)
@@willlovesgaz didn't know that. Used to watch Desmond's too
With his too big suit jacket arms 😂😂
They're all actors.
He's called Dean Gatiss.
