The SMASH Robots










Compared to a Cyberman these robots were mere scraps of tin. Bit parts in the grand scheme of Sci-Fi but then again, they were pretty low-Fi and were only advertising prepared packet mashed potato.
Still lovely TV ads though!

The Oxo Family




The OXO family 'lived' on my TV screen from when I was four (1958) until I was old enough to know better (1999). It was a soap opera advert that featured a wholesome family. Initially with Mary Holland as the Mum and then Linda Bellingham.


I pretty much hate modern day adverts as they are so samey and so contrived but these were enjoyable.


Here we have the 1950's version...




And here the 1980's to late '90's version...
