1987 adverts - Arsenic & Old Lace

  • 8 months ago
These are adverts from the broadcast of the film Arsenic and Old Lace from 1987. These are not mine but ones I found by chance and just thought I'd upload them as they were old adverts. There are a few familiar faces, such as George Cole, Mel Smith and a pre-fame Jerome Flynn. There are 4 ad breaks in all, and the commercials that appeared are as follows:
1st break: Emirates airlines; Brook Street Job Centre; British Rail cartoon; Worthington Beer (Charge of the Light Brigade spoof involving clip from 1968 film); McDonald's (The School Reunion '77); Chessington World of Adventure theme park; Anchor Cream (Tennis elbow), and Red Star delivery (Talking Clock).
2nd break: Olympus AF-10 camera (George Cole - celebrity party photographer); Mobil 1 car oil; Milton Keynes tourism ad (Sinister Chinese businessman in peculiar advert); Citreon AX car (Woman drives car on top of train), and Kaltenberg beer (Mel Smith - Airplane in thunderstorm).
3rd break: Vauxhall Cavalier car (Nerd uses showroom car to impress women); Budweiser beer (Jerome Flynn - Sings to girl at party), and that peculiar Milton Keynes advert again.
4th break: Miller Lite beer (Raincoat Factory dummies); Heinz Tomato Ketchup (You do Ron Ron); Coca Cola drink (Coca Cola is It song); Do It All Store (Big Ron from EastEnders - Singing Workmen); Mumm Corden Rouge Champagne (Ship Launch), and Oracle teletext (Finance).
