Thanks Rashers. I was just looking at the ad again on Youtube and now I know who wrote the music for it.
Does ANYONE know where I can get the old ESB ads with the Dusty Springfield song and the returning emigrant?
Or the Aer Lingus ad, probably from the 70s, with lovely music and the lines" Look to the sky.... Ireland's oceans... we were born to fly...

Enjoyed that Karsini! What year was it from? 80s sometime?

First of all, better point out that it's not my upload, just happened to stumble across it. The uploader claims it's from a Sunday evening in March 1987.

My fav hamlet ad was the one starring "Rab C" before he became so well known... Think he revisited this character later as "The baldy man", but don't remember much of that...

To use my favourite Quadrophenia quote:

Rockers, all that greasy hair and clobber. It's diabolical.

Wow, thanks a mil for that! Seeing that again brought a tear to my eye.

stovelid · 16-11-2008 09:04PM

Me too. One of the best ads ever made.

Think ESB used the same song in a recent ad too.

Might have to roll out a few more of these recession/emigration ads soon.

Anyone remember a drink ad in the 80s with a bunch of ghosts scaring off the customers in a bar and then drinking their pints,only to be scared off when two punks walk in.
