Adverts M-P
McCoy's Cracker Snacks - 1993
Mercury - 1993
Harry Enfield and Richard Branson star in this humourous little ad for Mercury Communications, done in the style of Enfield's Mr Chomondly-Warner and Greyson sketches. Clip courtesy of Iam Burn.
Midlands Bank - 1997
An advert from 1997, promoting Midland Bank as the bank that's listening. Basically, a Midland Bank worker overhears two blokes discussing what they want from their banking, then does a load of James-Bond style stunts to take the idea back to the bank's bright ideas department quickly!
Milk - 1987
Mint - 2004
MMs - 1996
Those loveable little Mm characters, back in 1996 with Ruud Gullit (Don't attack me if I've spelled that wrong!)
Nationwide - 1992
People from all professions, such as Photographers from Ilford and Builders from Hammersmith visit their branch of Nationwide, along with a little song. This ad is done in the same style as the next one, despite being from much earlier in the 90s. Advert courtesy of Iam Burn.
Nationwide - 1998
Another jolly little tune for the Nationwide Building Society, showing some of their different services, such as internet and phone-banking, in an entertaining way! Watch out for the Ghoulies and Ghosties!
National Lottery - 1995
One of the National Lottery ads, where we had the giant hand going 'It's You!!'. This one involves 'a little black dress', and was one of the funnier ones.
Natwest - 1987
Natwest advertises their banks opening on Saturdays. Well, this was revolutionary at the time. Clip courtesy of Iam Burn.
Nescafe Gold Blend - 1984
The name says it all really.
Nescafe - 1989
This Nescafe ad stars Paul Eddington and Derek Fowlds, recounting their on-screen partnership in the BBC Series Yes Minister.
Nescafe - 1995
...and a much later ad for Nescafe.
Nike Airmax - 1993
~ Unavailable ~
Northern Electric - 1991
Heating from Northern Electric. Im sure I recognise the voice-over (Was he not on a Dettol advert at some point)
Northern Electric - 1995
A later heating ad from Northern Electric. This time the voiceover is provided by Victoria Wood.
Nova - 1990
This ad is well... strange! Basically its telling you how to train your new Vauxhall Nova to be a good car, and not attack the postman!
Oracle - 1991
Oracle used to provide the teletext service on ITV and Channel 4, up until it was outbid by the unimaginatively named 'Teletext ltd', losing it's franchise in 1993. Here is an advert from 1991 for their service. Thanks to Iam Burn for this ad.
Oxo - 1989
The Oxo family became well established on our screens throughout the eighties and nieties, as we followed them growing up. The final advert was broadcast in the late 90's, and featured only the Mother and Father, as everyone had already left. This one, from 1989, shows one of the ads from the family's heyday.
Pedigree Chum - 1992
awwww... look at the cute little puppies in this advert for Pedigree Chum from 1992.
Pedigree Chum - 2001
The puppies above are certainly cuter than the kids in this 2001 Pedigree Chum advert. Bah, humbug!
Peperami - 1995
Peperami - 1996
An insane ad for Peperami from 1996. Thanks to Iam Burn.
Pepperami Cheezie - 1997
Peugeot - 1991
Another car advert, only this time it is for Peugeot! What it can do will literally 'take your breath away'!
Peugeot - 2001
A modern-day Peugeot advert!
PG Tips - 1992
There are 2 things PG Tips are famous for. Their tea, and the Chimps. The chimps were the main front for PG, for decades, until 2002, when finally they disappeared from our screens, to be replaced with the T-Birds. 4 Plasterceine characters. More recently they've revisited the chimp theme with a cunning return to the screens of Al and Munkeh. Here is one of those good-old chimp ads, from 1992.
Pilsbury Toaster Pockets - 1997
Harry Enfield reprises his 'Kevin the Teenager' routine for this advert for Toaster Pockets. Clip thanks to Iam Burn.
Pizza Hut - 1995
I bet you can all remember this Pizza Hut advert from 1995. It features the Underwood Rugby family.
Polycell - 1994
The secret services storm a building... only to find it belongs to some old ladies. Never mind, they'll have the place looking as good as new in no time. Clip courtesy of Iam Burn.
Pot Noodle - 1993
Pot Noodle - 1998
A spoof of The Shawshank Redemption can be seen in this 1998 Ad for Pot Noodle. Thanks again to Iam for this.
Prudential - 1994
Griff Rhys-Jones stars in this ad for the pru. Courtesy of Iam Burn.
