Description

There was a time – yes, there really was a time – when the TV ads were said to be better than the programmes they interrupted. Or maybe the programmes interrupted the ads! There was a time – yes, there really was – when you made a cup of tea or went to the loo during the TV shows rather than during the commercials. Well, maybe that last bit is something of an exaggeration but certainly a lot of ads at that time, all through the 1970s, '80s and '90s, were designed to be enjoyed and to amuse and engage. Because that's how your ad – and the product it advertises – gets remembered, talked about and, above all, liked. This celebration of a golden age of creativity is unique and an inspiration.
