Synopsis
The television commercial is a unique art form, challenging the makers to squeeze a lasting message into a tiny time slot and it has been part of television since the early days of live broadcasts, which themselves were often sponsored. Volumes 1 and 2 are a collection of TV nostalgia from the 50s, 60s and 70s, sharing all the humour, romance and excitement of the programmes in which they appeared.

The humour, excitement and romance of the times is captured in these adverts which include a wide variety of genres from animated cartoon to Hollywood film style advertising a wide variety of products from food and drink to household cleaners and cigarettes.

Volume 3 is all about Pepsi Cola who have been renowned for making some of the most memorable commercials in television advertising and this Pepsi compilation includes the first Pepsi commercial broadcast in 1946, the 1955 Pepsi TV Special with Hans Cornried, the Extra Terrestial 1980 ad and The Pepsi Taste Challenge.
