OT OLD ADVERTS : Thu Jul 02, 2009 10:34 am  

I've noticed that some companies are repeating old adverts for their products so I was wondering what adverts you would like to see make a return from yester year.

I would like to see:


Yellow Pages - J.R. Hartley

Charlie Says

Shake and Vac

I'm glad to see the Milky Way car race one has made a re-apperance.

Would also like to see...

Chewits (Godzilla ads)
Trio group
Kia Ora
Um Bongo

To be honest, I don't even know if those products are still sold though.

That really long Carling Black Label advert that changed from a cowboy sketch into a record ad then into a supermarket ad IIRC.

That one where the workmen in the back of the transit sing "we hope its chips" to the song que sera.

Oh and "Crossply and radial tyres - check how you mix them".

Anyone seen the "Charlie Says" info films on DVD? They're great. They've got all the info films from the past 30 years. A great night's viewing nostalgia.

Are they doing a new Gareth Hock one?

Just hi-jacking one nostalgia topic with another, I notice the England (Cricket) Lions have an opening partnership of Denley / Moore against the Aussies. Ring any bells with Ripping Yarns fans? Eric Olthwaite?

would love to see the Kia Ora advert again just to give me an excuse to say "it's too orangy for crows, it's just for me and my dog"
