      Roger was actually Roger Walker - who was Freddy Marks' predecessor in the trio Rod, Jane and Freddy of 'Rainbow' fame, and later played Bunny in the BBC's flop soap 'Eldorado'.

    Flymo - cashing in on all the late 70s disco stuff.
    Love those Bounty commercials and the Badedas one is also nice.
    The Harmony hairspray ad was on all the time as I recall - such a memorable tune and ad.
    Pepsi was another cash-in - this time on Grease, presumably.
    The 70s Milk Tray ads were never as good as their 60s counterparts but they still used Cliff Adam's great theme - I think Gary Myers lasted over 10 years.
    Smarties ('Bop') is sung by Linda Lewis - written by the great Mike Batt. Superb ad - the cinema version is much longer.
    Ambre Solaire would never be shown today - half-naked women; protruding male organs and naked kids! This was late 70s. You can see why this ad won an award in 1979!
    Is that Barbara Carrera in DuBonne? Can't be, can it?- but a jolly good lookalike.
    Recognised the location in that final ad instantly - it's Primrose Hill, London.
    Thanks for posting this great collection.

    The era of power cuts ..real family closeness of playing cards and board games under candle light..

    the TV times and radio times being able to choose what to watch ..
    And the last word was said by the parent anyway ..and adverts...?

    Wonderful adverts. This brought back memories of the Pepsi advert (product being poured over ice cubes) which I saw not on TV but at the cinema - the much missed Odeon Queensway - impressive screen, impressive sound system - really sounded as though an avalanche was going to break through the screen. Infinitely better than the trashy sound systems you get at the average multiplex these days.

    Why is it in 2019 every advert sells products that cost a bloody fortune and falls to pieces once you get it home? In the 70s they lasted years if not decades. Progress I guess! If they lasted as long now we wouldn't have to throw it away and so save plastic
