In the P.O ad that's P.H.Moriarty getting knocked down with a feather, Later on he appeared as Razors in The Long Good Friday and also appeared in Jaws 3D
@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.
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.
I'd better atone for my error....definitely Derek Nimmo as the main voice in the KP ad , Paul Darrow was being billed for room service , etc in the American Express ad and Jeff Rawle was the mug who bought the chest wig in the Panama Cigars ad........I hope!!!

A time when we had regional TV

Probably because Yootha Joyce had died in August of 1980!!
Well, it's not like it set the box office alight...

@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

Brilliant line up
Even my son fancies Cherry Gillespie.
Robin Bailey voices Goldener Oktober from Grants of St James, that is an ad I remember.
I thought i had imagined an advert with a chest wig.
Us in Dublin were glued to English tv… not sure if signel reached all of Ireland back then💁🧐
When tv was worth watching..💁🧐🇮🇪🇬🇧
Isn't that Harry Sullivan (Doctor Tom's assistant) taking Day Nurse before a shift as UNIT's Medical Officer?

McEwan's lager and Guinness ads get better later on in 1980s
1st Christmas of 1980s
