1987 adverts - Scottish Cup Final (St Mirren v Dundee Utd)

2024-10-18 14

These are the adverts that appear during the 1987 Scottish Cup Final on May 16th 1987. There are a couple of familiar faces, including Blue Peter's John Noakes and Melanie Kilburn, pre-Peak Practice, while there are a few good tunes as well in this, such as Del Shannon's Runaway. There are a couple of familiar adverts too, and the last ad about Marro Bone brought back forgotten memories about what we used to feed our dog back in the day. I certainly feel adverts in this period were more interesting than ones from this century. The commercials that appear are as follows:
1st break: Everest Windows (John Noakes on Everest Doors); KitKat bar (Anglo-Soviet Talks); NatWest bank (Busy businesses press orange button); KP Honey Roasted Peanuts (Party dance - Billy Idol song "More, More, More"); Lamot lager (Man in Black & black panther), and Daily Record & Sunday Mail newspapers (Jackpot scratchcards).
2nd break: Skol lager (Hager the Horrible - Private drink); Vauxhall club range cars (Hijacked transporter - Del Shannon's Runaway song); Gillette Contour Plus razors (John Hurt voiceover); The Observer newspaper (impartial newspapers); Milk ad (Boyfriend takes on his girl at judo), and Malibu drink (Train journey to paradise).
3rd break: Vokeswagon car (Man walks through park - I wonder who's kissing her now?); National Provincial Building Society (Little Red Houses around the world, sung to This Ole House); Sure deodorant (sweaty drummer at gig); Hamlet cigars (Matchstick cathedral); Panasonic video recorder digital scanner (Melanie Kilburn - And the Murderer Is...); Flymo lawnmower (Tennis match) and Marrowbone dog food.

(Please note you are welcome to post my adverts - or indeed any of my videos - elsewhere if you wish, as I know these sort of things are popular. My full advert collection can be found on the ok.ru channel. Just type in Old UK TV Adverts and my album of videos should pop up).
