The original version of Chain Letters only ran for three series - there was only one Allan Stewart series not two. It was recorded as a prime-time series (as had been the Andrew O'connor one the previous year) but tanked in the ratings, was cancelled after 8 episodes (two of which were only ever shown on Tyne Tees) and the remainder burned off in the summer of 1990. It was always a dumb decision to put it in prime time but not increase the budget - it would have probably ran for a full decade had it remained on daytime as the ratings were always good there. I'm not surprised no-one remembers Pick Pockets - it was only ever shown in the North East and had only six editions - and I don't believe any still exist in the archives (this was the pilot, which was never broadcast).

so many choices back then, always something new. now half of them are gone, and the rest are wrecked beyond recognition.

my husband members all these on granda TV then itv in the 80s and 90s why we have to get old lol

1:03 I had Michael Jackson’s Moonwalker for Sega Master System, it was a great game!

Some great ones here, some I’ve never saw before. I don’t remember raisins in double decker, glad they don’t have them now. I hate raisins! Also, hob nob bars were great, wish they’d bring them back. What was the third viscount flavour? Only remember orange and mint.

Looks like cinna-mon from Apple Jacks cereal

The Um Bongo ad would probably be labeled racist today by the loony left.

Pringles about to sue them for a threat. 3:50

DID BRO JUST SWEAR 4:46

My he be happppy in heaven now we miss him 😂

That feeling when you can sing along with 'The Red Car and the Blue Car' X years later, without any prompts. This really takes me back! Some of these felt so iconic, but completely forgotten since then. It's surprising to see how high the quality is in them (art, animation etc) and there's those bits you just didn't get as a little kid - like, man, that was Cab Calloway in the Hula Hoops advert!

Was that Rik Mayall in the spacesuit in the 5-4-3-2-1 ad??

I miss the 80s. We only had three or four TV channels back then but the programs were of high quality. Even the adverts from the 80s were better than modern programs and some of the movies now that are clearly pushing a particular political ideology. The 80s was a golden era of innocent children’s TV and teen movies such as (Stand by Me), (Breakfast Club), (Goonies), (The princess bride), (Back to the future). Not to mention Sci Fi such as (ET) (Star wars) and (Honey I shrunk the kids) etc!! I’m an 80s child and I sometimes find myself day dreaming about being back there in the 80s including the early 90s with old friends and and when my own children were toddlers. That was in the days before addictive social media l. We used to climb trees, build dens, play out all summer with all our childhood friends on the streets and we’re not controlled by identity politics and cancel culture! Take me back to the 80s. It was a golden era!!

I've never seen a compilation better sum up my childhood than this one (born 1980 for reference). There was even an 'oh shit 'moment with Raggy Dolls. Had totally forgotten it, yet it instantly came back as a show I loved way back then. Cheers mate. Your efforts are not unappreciated. I got to be a kid for a few minutes again.

Love the 80's cartoons

Crazy how i knew nearly all the words to those after all these years lol 😆

Love 80's cartoons.

UK 80s schoolboys watching the animated G1 series be like "Hang about, wotzis then? Who's that bloke with the cannon-arm? And why is Soundwave subordinate to him? Isn't he supposed to be the leader?"

Ktoś musiał zrobić tam porządek 😂

Ale fajne 👍😁🫠

Soundwave is the leader? I didn't get the memo.

I'm f****** steaming 4:38

Nestle Smarties

Brilliant 👏

I remember all these, great times.

what was the t show there was a kid on there his name was "tshirt"

That Terry's chocolate orange advert traumatised me as a kid. I was haunted by it. It's just absolutely crammed with sheer horror. Those sinister voices of the two women, that look of menace on the old chap's face, the suspenseful music. And not least the fact that he discovers the gateway to hell behind a cupboard.

UK TV 90s ARS 00s

I wan't one of those Terry's Nutcracker eggs.

So great 2 c these. Thanx

Oh wow what a blast from the past! So cool to see the Cadburys Buttons, Shreddies, Trio and the Skips adverts again. I wish they would use animated cartoons for commercials again, they were so creative.

14:53 the voice of the teeny little super guy intro

This is a time when adverts were enjoyable not the hell for shaken ones we get today if your dying life insurance funeral plans beg beg beg adverts betting adverts alarm adverts and don’t forget the only people watching day time tv are of a certain age apparently and need all types of equipment god forbid younger people watch tv around shifts life was more enjoyable then than having death thrower at you every 15 minutes please give us a break all we want is to actually live our lives !

Niesamowity utwór i wykonawca ❤️

Nice day for a swim! 2:49

1:27 I exfoliate!

Excellent....great that someone has got the entire E and E collection! 👍

fun fact: shaking stevens was on lsd when this was filmed.

My parents wouldn't stretch to the £18 for Optimus,Megatron.But I was allowed soundwave which I guess would be £12.Everyone wanted Megatron and I knew someone whose father got hold of shockwave in Japan...arguably THE must have.

I wouldn't say they made up...Stevens appears frosty, and Madeley still attempting to goad him.

AM GLAD I WAS FROM THE LAST GREAT DECADE COS ITS BEEN SHIT EVER SINCE

I could watch Rod fighting with Emu all day long.
