1986 Xmas adverts - Swiss Family Robinson

  • 7 months ago
Adverts shown during the Christmas Day broadcast of the film Swiss Family Robinson from 1986. There are a couple of familiar faces in these, such as John Challis (Boycie from Only Fools & Horses) and Lynda Bellingham (Oxo Family), while there is some pleasure to be had recognizing ads you'd forgotten from years ago (such as the Ovaltine ad and Dixcel Kitten Maze) or stores now longer running (ie, Debenhams). There are 4 ad breaks in total, and they are as follows:
1st break: Jarrolds Xmas Sale; Brooke Bond D Tea (Secretary's busy day - John Challis); Co-op sales; Electric Cookers; Smarties chocolate, and Rennies indigestion tablets (Man in Cell).
2nd break: Texas sale; Jones' furniture sale; Ovaltine (cartoon - Rescued from Cannibals); Milk (Busy Day - Gonna Want Bottle); Blockbusters board game; Debenhams (Shoppers on staring block to race); Klennex Velvet Toilet rolls (Little boy fits on toilet roll); Oxo Family (Turkey dinners), and Stephen Charles jewellers.
3rd break: Brides on a Budget dress sale; M & M Leisure Centre (caravan sale); Profile Windows; Hatters Furniture Group sale; Courts furniture sale; Asda sale (Turkey in army helmet); McDonald's (Grimace tries to get cows to dance); Weetabix cereal (cartoon - Music video in spoof of Billy Jean); Comet Sale, and Whiskers cat food (Mrs Joy Radnor with her 2 cats).
4th break (after the film): TV ad for Escape to Witch Mountain, and Ark Royal: The Rock Show. Then ads for Wallis King furniture sale; Palmers sale; British Coal (Toys get up to warm by fire); The Belfast bedding sale; Dixcel toilet rolls (Kitten in toilet roll maze); Scotch video tapes (Skeleton - Re-record, not fade away); Texas sale; Alders sale; Carpet City sale; Public Info ad (Bike Riders - Don't Stay Too Close), and Radio Orwell for the Anglia region.
