Another Irn-Bru ad. This one is a pastiche of the second one which believe it or not was a real ad!

Another ad was the Nescafe gold blend 1987/93, just popped in for coffee. It follows the two neighbours whose love of coffee developed into a romance.

Good ad but the product was never the same after the lime barrel disappeared.

And then of course there are the Joan Collins and Leonard Rossiter classic Cinzano adverts.

[Ranchi]

As a few of you liked the Irn Bru advert with the England supporter and his dog, here is the company’s latest offering.

My Mum was a big fan of Michael Holliday. I hadn't realised until you mentioned it about his tragic end. I must admit he's not troubled our show playlist to date. I must look into that..

[Ray B]

That will bring back the memories from your listener.

When it comes to today's adverts I'm not impressed with some.
Those some refer to ladies sanitary products. Do we really need to see a woman sitting on the pan and showing us how much liquid a pad can take or describing the absorbency of period products in quite detail.
I do think woman have more sense than to watch the ads when word of mouth and the doctors /chemist can help them better understand. I'm sure that some may feel embarrassed when in company and the advert pops up.

Okay, it's in! Tune in Saturday to hear it.

But back to the subject of ads, we see very few these days. There's always more on TV than we can fit in watching so we usually watch the BBC programmes, or something we recorded earlier, and record the ITV/C4/C5 ones, then skip the ads on playback. If we are, on the odd occasion, watching a commercial channel live, the ads are comfort break time!

[Stephen]

I record almost everything I want to watch, purely to whisk past the adverts which I sometimes think run longer than the program I’m trying to watch. By the time the adverts have finished I’ve lost the thread of what I’ve been watching.

[Mervyn and Trish]

That happens to me even without adverts.

Enjoyed this one in its day

That’s one of my favourites Foxy and have posted on ‘Mornin All’ in the past

[oldbluefox]

Some of these modern adverts I haven't a clue what they're advertising. Too subtle by half but a waste of time and money.
