The infamous Lee Cooper/ Gary Numan advert from '79 remembered this one as a kid and sure it got quickly banned on TV around the time. I never spotted it was Gary Numan at the time, but it sounds so obvious listening to it now. Hadn't realised it was banned. It reminds me of this one for Foster Grant shades. Not exactly PC in places, but it was 1977.

Sourced from The Thames area in 1978 here's a reel recently posted on YT. Look out for a self congratulating Esso advert and one of a rememberable campaign for Cadbury's Whole Nut.

Thanks for those Del! Fun memories of the Cadbury's Chocolate and Esso adverts - long while since I've heard that piece of music used for the advert - sounds quite prog rock actually.
The bloke in the Jacobs Digestive advert makes me wonder if he inspired the "Fast Show" character Paul Whitehouse used to do in the Bob Fleming sketches (Fleming's farmer mate who had the tick - shouting "A**"e!).

I'm sure that bit of music heard at the end on "Personal Report" has been used on "The Sweeney". Thanks for posting Del

Who remembers the CO-OP jingle "Your Caring Sharing CO-OP" The presenter in the ad seems very excited about the stamps Don't know what year this is from probably late 70s ?

Not sure, Del - but noticed the YT channel is a collection of appearances by the actress/entertainer in the ad, Lynda McMurray. Warning - if you delve deeper into the other videos, she's doing a duet with Duggie Brown of Another Piece of My Heart which you can't un-see when watched. My guess would be 1979 with the hairstyles and the jingle.

I can remember that slogan/jingle - another version had male singers - and sounded a but more 1950's esque. Reminds me also of the Co-Op liveried vans with the light blue rear section and white front half with the logo. We had a Co-Op and a Fine Fare in my street during childhood. My mum shopped at both.
