Vintage UK Toy Adverts 1979 to 1981

[chipsteak]

I posted this elsewhere then figured I should do so here as there's SW content within.

I acquired four off-air episodes of Tiswas that all had the adverts in. Being from the latter part of the year, it's nearly all vintage toys. I've edited them together and put the four batches into a playlist.

Half an hour of British vintage toy adverts, with no duplicates, from 1979 to 1981, anyone?

really really good I had race and chase only got the cars left now and the public information films always make me laugh thanks for this, I'm half way through and can't wait to see the rest later, the Hornby and operation adverts brought back memories from the late 70's

I had the Zany Zappers and a Dukes Of Hazzard wrist racer, both "from Action GT".

Action GT were advertised so heavily for a couple of years and then fell completely silent. My guess is that they were planning some sort of Halloween 3/ Silver Shamrock -style massacre and were foiled.

These are fantastic, many thanks! Damn fine quality too, considering their age - great job!
