A continuation of the same content from the other place but with more of an upbeat nature here than the corrupted landscape of that other place.

The final 2 sets of ad breaks during the South Bank Show Arts Review is what makes up today's upload, notably featuring one from Nicorette about the dangers of smoking and a lighter version of Pliladelphia (as cream cheese)

Not something I've seen until now, Thames using an obscure music video as filler before the ITN news summary... I've known Sky One to do the same years later, but never seen it with an ITV region before

If you don’t like the BBC, I suggest that you go to America and watch their TV for a day. It gives you a migraine. The BBC also keeps the standards of the other outlets relatively high. If you think we watch shit now, imagine it with no BBC. And they actually care about drama, children’s, factual.

Amusing in hindsight to see the hype of Sky+ HD throughout most of these ads (particularly the Christmas one below) considering we're nearly into 20 years of HD being common here, and yet the transition from SD to HD TV has taken longer than analogue to digital

The recent news on the closure of Pop and Tiny Pop (as linear channels) has brought me again to this TV Live Forum post by @vmphil.bsky.social about the former channel's launch in 2003 as Toons n Tunes, and it's funny to think how cheaply run it was then compared to now

Just seen the post on here about Kraft's new Mac and Cheese Apple Pie flavour, and suddenly the flavours by Walkers for their Do Us a Flavour campaign 17 years ago don't feel unhinged to me anymore... well except the chilli and chocolate one

Recent intriguing yet damaged find: 2/3 minutes of an edition of L&K from early 2000 (halfway through the 7th series) centering around The Simpsons from the brief time it was on the lineup to compete with SMTV Live in the ratings

Not much else to say about the second and last of today's uploads except it's an extra smidgeon of continuity from the upload below I didn't notice initally. Feautring promos for Newsnight and their Time Season coinciding with their millenium set of programming

The final part of this batch is what makes up the first of today's uploads (around Tonight and Calendar), featuring ads for the likes of Kellogg's Special K, Asda and the Dark & Gold variant of the Mars bar. Includes one of the local idents which Yorkshire had at the time

Dotty Turnbull and Kate Neall
Tesco
1995-2004

RIP Prunella Scales, the "shopper from hell" in Tesco's successful campaign which saw price-obsessed Dotty drag daughter Kate (Jane Horrocks) along on her shopping trips, bossing her and the staff around. Plans to revive her in 2015 did not materialise.

I don't think Prunella Scales was capable of a bad performance. She wouldn't have known how. This morning though, I'm just thinking of her avenging dervish when she realises what Basil and O'Reilly have done to her hotel in "The Builders". You can actually taste Basil's terror as she storms in.

I very much have the It Started With Swap Shop special nearly 19 years ago (for the 30th anniversary of Swap Shop) to thank for exposing me to the website as well as previous shows of the genre (besides those I knew) by the Beeb. Definitely worth 2 hours of your time
