MILTON! Been driving me mad for years trying to remember what that was called. I remember a 'Milton' advert where a purple line slowly covered all the kitchen surfaces, surprised it's not been on this channel, yet!
Track listing on Vileda 'Bop While You Mop' was an eclectic mix for 1994... James Brown - Get Up Shakatak - Night Birds Amen Corner - Bend Me, Shape Me Kool & The Gang - Get Down On It Dexy's Midnight Runners - Come On Eileen John Parr - St Elmo's Fire (Man In Motion) City Boy - "5.7.0.5" ABC - The Look Of Love
What a different country the past was, when Benny Hill-esque behaviour was deemed appropriate to help sell some furniture polish (0:53). "Hahahaha, I say, isn't sexual harassment funny, haw haw!" Jeebus.
That's Anton Rodgers at 5:04, who for a while in these compilations seemed to be second only to Richard Briers, then also disappeared for a while. You've been setting the world to rights recently, Steve, thank you very much! 😄😁 (I wonder which voices - at least those better known for other things than voiceovers - are actually the most common in your compilations, apart from those two? I think perhaps Christopher Timothy, who I'm sure I hear regularly, with maybe Chris Tarrant and Hugh Laurie making up a top 5.)
I think you, and perhaps other viewers who are quite frankly more knowledgable than I am when it comes to voices and names, would be well placed to answer that.
Another great video in the books, Happy New Year Steve and fellow Viewers
The Domestos bottle doing the John Wayne walk to the Big Bad Dom tune I remember so well lol 👌
There were a couple of versions of the Big Dom ad. There's another on these compilations somewhere.

I have no life 😂
It was John in the original song.
@@davidbowie2046 There's still a very popular breakfast sausage named after him in the US that he used to do the commercials for in the 80s.
I always forget how different washing clothes is between the US and UK until I watch more of these old ads.
Thanks Steve, a great collection of ads, a green Frank Bruno made me laugh, although I wouldn't laugh in front of him! 👍🏻😄
I quite liked that one too.

I think Milton fluid might be one of those ads that's more 70s than 80s. Rarer to find.

Re: James Brown track. Isn't that: "Sex Machine". 🤔
Wee mo eastenders persil tabs ad 😂👍
Yeah, the rather pretty Kacey Ainsworth if that's her name.🤔
@hallgos7319 yes that's here name I recognised her right away ! 😊
4:55 My schoolboy crush Glynis Barber in the Dettox ad
I never noticed that was her. I presume it's not just a lookey-likey? I know most big actors got their starts in adverts, so it's feasible.

Sign of the times, unfortunately.

@@RetroSteveUK Oh, I wasn't expecting you to answer that - consider that part of my comment just me wondering out loud, but in text 😁
S'all good. 😎👍
I wonder what happened to Wisk? 🤔
👍👍
Ooh " lavatory". How middle class!
I kinda like W.C. / Water Closet for poshness.
