I only remember it because I caught the last half of it on VHS recording something off channel 4 in 1988 and it is the first thing on the tape. Still got the tape, somewhere. Don't have anything to play it on though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played Toby in the 1980's film "Party Party" with lots of other unknown actors, some now famous. Great film if you were a teenager back then, as it is of its time. Fair bit of Mark III Cortina action too, and a great soundtrack. "You smell of horses..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard_FM Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Does anyone remember the cosmetic advert (possibly Insignia) made around 1990 & set in the future where towards the end of the Ad the 20 something star walks past a woman of the same age & says "Hi Gran!". She looked a bit like Kylie Minogue. There was a later ad where the Gran explained what the buttons on her arm did, apart from one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnthonyG Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Was there an Allegro one with the Nolan Sisters, or have I just dreamt that? The tagline was ‘Allegro’s got vroom for Five’ which also featured on posters (there’s a famous pic of Red Robbo holding a union meeting in front of one of these ads). The TV ad definitely featured 1970s ‘glamorous’ ladies, maybe the Nolans just did the song and Pans People or similar did the leggy bits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnthonyG Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Ha ha that’s it! Good knows where I got the Nolan sisters thing from. I would have about 5 when it first aired, but those ladies’ legs obviously stuck in my memory…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
