- I have a Home Cinema now after a friend sold me his NEC video projector. To add a bit to the experience I decided to show some Pearl & Dean adverts before the main presentation. This is my first attempt, the 1970s, but wish to make up at least one for each decade, 1950s thru 2000s, to go with the film showing.
Thanks go to Dave Jeffrey for the mock-up Academy countdown leader, although the first couple of seconds are from a genuine telecine'd leader.
I'd be interested in any constructive comments from those in the cinema industry or cinema addicts as to whether adverts were made up in any particular order..... or anything else about this example! Personally I feel that the scratches and dirt on the film make it true to advert presentation of the era :) ...well at our local anyway!
How did I make up the reel? It was quite simple. I converted large advert-laden .mp4 files to wmv, using FREE MP4 TO WMV CONVERTER, I used ASFBINWIN.EXE to extract adverts out of the large wmv file, this gave me .asf files. I then used MICROSOFT MOVIE MAKER to splice together the different files. Some were .wmv, some .asf and some .mp4.

Oh that lovely crackle so emotive of the times. Can almost see the curtains sliding over at the end.
Gosh! Those were the days, bought it all back with the Peal and Dean adverts. A big thank you for posting these few old adverts. Great.
I remember the Regency Tandoori on Station Road all those years ago in the mid '70's. Good to see it is still going.
I remember being impressed & excited by the 'computer' graphics in the titles.
Remember seeing that Benson and hedges ad when my mum took me to see Jaws on boxing day 1975 .classic ads
Wow - Awesome! My mum used to work at an independent cinema in Haverfordwest in the 70s - the place was my babysitter after school (along with Luke Skywalker and Vader for some of it) - this reel brought back lots of memories!
God, this takes me back.
Thanks so much for this! Will make everyone's night!
Some of the sales filmlets on here would not have been on the same Pearl & Dean advert reel. The Pearl & Dean titles were from around 1976; the Lyons Maid Now's The Time For Ice Cream filmlet is from 1961; the Butterkist filmlet is from 1968; the Kia-Ora Orange and Lemon and Lime filmlet is from 1970 and the Lyons Maid Neapolitan Dairy Ice Cream filmlet dates from 1962. Sales filmlets were always placed on the beginning of the adverts reel by the projectionist, in front of the Pearl & Dean reel. I was a cinema projectionist from 1962 to 1981, so I know.
Loved the Babycham adds.
Consulate, cool as a mountain stream !
Such nostalgia of 70's cinema going. Seems like only yesterday.
Great, it was lovely to see all the old and proper adverts from all those years ago. I did noticed why was there no man from Milk Tray advert included? Thank you bothering to post this.
B&H 53p for 10 when I started smoking (1982).....I stopped over 3 years ago...
This was a well made vid. Well done
Stand and Deliver, very similar to the start of Adam Ant's video. John Hallam was the highwayman, appeared in many films and on tv
The titles you have here are from the remastered batch from the mid-90s. The evidence is that the blue rays were cleaned up (they were quite grainy on the original 70s and 80s prints) and are a slightly darker blue. Also this is true widescreen, whereas the originals were 'open matte' (full 4:3 frame but suitable for widescreen cropping by the projector plate). The outro originally had no telephone number also, just the title pulling back. There were also 2 telephone number versions. The first had the old 80s/90s London prefix, and on that one the telephone number stayed at the front while the Pearl and Dean logo went back only. Then after the prefix change in 1994 this alteration was made, with a new number and both going back at the end. The soundtrack was also mixed into Dolby SR at this time. Ironically, just 2 years later in July 1996 it was replaced!
Looks like the Regency Tandoori still exists. The reviews are pretty decent too!
Bravo!
Amazing how an ad for tobacco could get a U cert back in the day.
