Does anyone else immediately think of the late great Richard Whiteley when they hear this?

DDDDDDDDDDDDDixons

Still a very handsome motor car, the iconic Ford Sierra. This one would be painted in Bahama Blue, code J2.

Wait until he gets in and sees how basic it was 😅

Used to say to my mate when teenagers walking round town. Shall we go have a look in d-d-d-dixons. 😆

The Azura was a run out model to make way for Mondeo. I remember they done same with the Cortina with Carousel and Crusader

I am a massive fan of the MK1 Granada. The 2.0 pinto automatic I had was smooth and not that slow really

Its weird i hated the look of the original 82 sierra when they 1st came out but the later ones from 91-93 looked so much better than the Mondeo that replaced it

Loved the mark 2 escort

Only Yorkshire Television could give us so much anticipation and excitement. This version and the original start up theme could give that sense of pride and emotion. Why can’t we have start ups like these again?.

Goes to show how complacent they were about its popularity...6 years before a refresh (MKII was a full reskin, MKIII a new platform) - they call it a MKIV when it's an update and they explicitly show how minimal it really was.

Best tune ever. I'll have it at my funeral lol

Around 4:17 the theme seems to take on a slightly sinister tone. It’s like the Chevron is getting ready to come out and get you.

Crikey. If you went into a showroom with £9600 in 1992 and asked what you could get, they'd show you a whole Sierra. Go into the same showroom in 2023 with £9600, and they'll show you the door. How times, and prices have changed.

People forget that traders need access to DIXONS!

This were I got my game boy game from in London.

Midwife turned up in one Jan 94 on a k regger saloon azura in that nice blue and said she hated it , wasn’t a year old and old tech nobody wanted no more 🤣

I remember that advertisement lol

Was it popular?

Even ice cream would not quench your thrist

U kant get a tin ov beans theez dayz 4 just slightly less than 10 Grand theez soding dayz

The "on the way out" spec Sierra, and then it's replacement Mondeo that came round the corner.

Oh, man, I remember this!

As much as I’d want a Sony Trinitron if I were to get a bigger place in the future, I’d feel VERY tempted to say Hello Tosh to that Toshiba! Anyone got the “Great deal going on” radio ads?

This was sampled on the Hardore Techno track DJ Edge - *1 EP Compnded. A classic techno track from 1991

wish i had a Nicam TV

I know the guy who’s popcorn exploded he has been looking for this advert

Fantastic car ...happy memories of my sierra ...never let me down

Remember seeing an billboard advert in London on this for £9,995 in ‘91

Gosh i remember that advert! The later sierras had a very nice finish to them and the darkend rear lights looked great, these sierras looked far better than the first mondeos

oh I miss when I was young in the 80s

One of my all time favourites and in a sort of epiphany moment, and without wanting to sound too pretentious, I think the composer wanted to encompass all of the things you might see on YTV - there's drama, playful comedy, romance, current affairs style moments in this composition. Until 3:55 - not sure YTV ever broadcast anything with this type of XXX funky soundtrack ;-)

used as the theme tune to Calendar in the 80's and this is the full version as i remember it

If the A-Team lived in Doncaster, this would be their theme.

These were rubbish cars

i like it..

iam buying a 1991 mk4 with only 74km this friday.

Chubb locks! Didn't really prevent my '3i from disappearing into the night.

Magic

Yorkshire were kind of dingusus by the turn of the century, but they have the BEST startups of the ITV reigons.

The Mk4 Ford Escort was an improvement over the Mk3 with better comfort, improved interior quality, a more pleasant ride, an even better heating and ventilation system with improved stratification offering an improved 'warm feet, cool face' environment at mid heat settings, plus the same good economical diesel and petrol engines.

Good old 1980s. Good days i remember this advert 30 years ago

Memorable as hell but they used the absolute worst royalty free porno music they could find lol.

I live in one of the places where the Belmont Transmitter was broadcasting to and I had Anglia and not Yorkshire Television when I was meant to have Yorkshire Television.

Toshiba Dolby Surround TV's and terrestrial NICAM Stereo were a superb combination together, ekeing life-like surround sound out of films and American TV series, and creating a surround sound effect from plain stereo shows, music specials, concerts and outside broadcasts plus Wegener PANDA 🐼 1 encoded stereo satellite broadcasts from the Astra Satellite on a suitable Astra stereo satellite receiver fed in via RGB Scart connection plus Hi-Fi Stereo VHS cassettes played from a Hi-Fi NICAM Stereo VHS video recorder connected on AV2 Scart connection.

i like it....

Wow I kind of knew that advert was going to come back to haunt me at some point.

My dad used to have one these

Can someone please upload a high-quality stereo version of this beautiful piece of music WITHOUT the continuity voiceover?

Way better than the Mondeo, what a travesty that Sierra was phased out.
