To think they should show ads from 1980 - 1986 for an entire month on ITV

[Jumell]

For no other reason than to indulge our nostalgia

“we hope its chops, its chips” 🎶

anyone in ??

I'd go back further for the Smash adverts.

Ah yes

Yes - great idea. We could have this for Christmas:

Love it! I fear gen z and the millennials would need to reach for the smelling salt!

'Tell them about the Soreen, Maureen'. My cousin hated it as she was called Maureen!

Ah thanks for this link !

🤣🤣 yes !!!!

"If you haven't any iiiiiinn have a word with your wife and spread it on your toast in the morning"

That bugged me then and it still bugs me now. Gosh the sexism in adverts was a lot less subtle in those days.

All the Hamlet ones! 😂

Fly fishing by JRR Heartly anyone

Yes!!

Also Leonard Rossiter/Joan Collins Cinzano

I suspect very few would be allowed before 9pm, due to smoking, healthy eating guidelines, overt sexism.

"A Mars a day, helps you work rest and play."
"It's full of sugary goodness, it's very small and neat"

Cigarettes had been banned from TV advertising back in the 60s, although cigars could still be advertised (the famous Hamlet advert).

I think we can trade off 'A Mars a Day' for the plethora of "did somebody say Just Eat' adverts we have on TV nowadays. One Mars Bar a day does a lot less damage than a takeaway; and a finger of fudge is positively angelic by comparison 😃

"Furst class thicket to Dottingham please..."

Omg I thought of this 🤣🤣🙌

WAAAAOOOOAAAAAHHHH BODYFOOOOOORM!!!!!

A Fudge was full of Cadbury goodness, not ‘sugary’ goodness.

It was practically a piece of fruit, come on

I would support this but only if we extended the time period to about 1995.

There are some videos on youtubes of vintage ads like this one, we've been watching them for nostalgia and my 10 year old loves them although thinks I'm obsessed with Woolies!

You can tell-a-wella-woman by the WAYSHEWEARSHERHAIR!

Loved the WOOAH BOODDEEFORRRM!! one - the new Tampax “flow forecast” period weather forecast ad on Youtube - not so much

Ha ha yes!
Whenever I watch programmes from that era - currently watching Brookside reruns on STV - I always expect the breaks to have adverts from that time! But obviously they're not, they're current adverts and always really clash with the 80s programme.
See also Bergerac and anything on Rewind TV.

Yes!! I've always said when they show old shows on Dave or whatever it's called,they should show the ads that would have aired then too.

Loving Brookside again.
