I promised a few pals I'd provide a heating/gas/electricity #ArchiveAdvent calendar - I'm a day late starting so today you get two!

First up, Dishwash Electric with some classic horror tropes & what I'm reading as a queer romance plot

The image is a screen grab from the History of Advertising Trust archive, it shows a close up of shocked woman's face. She is biting her lip and clutching her face, eyes wide in with fear and concern. Across the screen is written 'DISHWASH ELECTRIC: energy for life'

The thing I didn't say because I was pretending to be sensible is:

'What happens when a historian of sexuality researches the history of heating..?'

They find WEIRD British gas ads where they tried to make gas sexy... 😳

Honestly you have to watch it:

The image is a screen-grab from a History of Advertising Trust British Gas advert. It depicts a man and woman dancing into a warmly lit bedroom in floaty PJs, giving a sense of relaxation.
