The Sun newspaper advert was produced on video, whereas the other adverts were produced on film. You can see the difference. Also nice to hear the noise of the film at the end of each advert.
I remember Alan Taylor presenting "Mr. & Mrs." when I was 6. I liked him. I was horrified when Derek Batey appeared. I did not trust him at all! 😂😂 (I think it was devised by him). I went right off the programme!
Nice to hear William Franklyn's voiceover for what looked like a disgusting product. I remember Christopher Timothy doing "The Sun" ads. Benny Hill did great parodies of them.
Poor ITV - the whole network was heading into a massive bucket of pig crap with the unions. The slow start to disruption of programming had started a few weeks earlier, but it would build up to 10th August 1979, the day the whole network fell off air (apart from tiny Channel Television in the channel islands, who remained on air with an emergency 6 hour per day schedule throughout the strike).
No, the full strike action happened from the 10th August 1979. It was slow progress. Some programmes started to go missing from the network as regions went on wildcat strike action. The official strike was 10th August until 24th October 1979
@@johnking5174 I was referring to a separate strike which took place on 30th July which was a precursor of the strike which took place the following Monday, I believe starting at Southern Television at 6pm before Thames technicians walked out later that evening, followed by HTV and Ulster before LWT were the last to go on strike on 10th August..
I'm quite impressed by that ladies outfit she wore in her 'night on the town' at 4:13 and I thought it was these days where many women left little to the imagination on a night out 🤣

Border would have transmitted Mr and Mrs into the network from their centre in Carlisle. This was the norm back then. Shows played out from the regions they were produced in.
@@gregtaylor9198 Yes, the network was held together by "gaffer tape and string" as Michael Grade once said about networking back then. He said things changed around 1983 when the post office upgraded their system to the ITV network.
In today’s “woke” society, or whatever the modern expression is, a new version of Mr & Mrs would have a gay couple, a heterosexual couple and two lesbians and be called Mr & Mr & Mr & Mrs & Mrs & Mrs!
It probably wouldn’t because we haven’t made that much progress, at least iTV haven’t! Don’t use “woke” as an insult! It simply means ensuring that there is room for everyone, people aren’t left out just because of who they are. By the way, I assume you only made that comment because you noticed that Sunday night on iTV back in the 70s was entirely heteronormative, despite the many LGBT people in the entertainment industry!

The rarely seen 'network production' version of the Border end cap.
Oh my those adverts were so classic!
Nice to see all the old tv too.
Border lwt and Southern idents so too.
Less than 2 weeks before the strike

Much better than today's adverts no b...
I thought I was hearing things when David Geary said what the programme at 6.45 was called. And then I realised he meant Come Sunday.....

Just checked and it was Johnny Morris doing the "Nine Lives" ad!

The next day most of the ITV network went on strike on 30th July 1979 - the eleventh anniversary of Thames.

Looks like Border networking (via LWT) as the cue dot is unfamiliar and the pub anno (quiz book) sounds like a Border CA!

@@johnking5174 But not all of the companies could play to network routinely - incoming lines only in some cases!

It was a Border CA - the late Pat Doody.
Is that announcer Matt Berry?

So?
And Why Not
@@MarkPMus I thought it meant “enlightened” - although some words have been redefined in recent years!
What a good idea, in 2024 it can reflect the society that we now live in, and generally is accepted now by the majority of people.
Tropic wonder if its available on y/t?.….
