Margaret Pritchard, one of HTV Wales's main in vision continuity announcers in the 70s and 80s

Amazing Lipton advert! Very advanced production values for the time.

We used to have Blue Band margarine. Great ads from my childhood.

[apeculiarmingvase]

I didn't expect there to be a lot of 70’s recordings from Wales.

Absolutely loved HTV Cymru Wales. We had fabulous reception in Co Wicklow Ireland

I lived in Bargoed, a former mining town near Caerphilly and I remember Lipton's in Bargoed ( Bar -goyd).

Liptons, bloody hell that takes me back.Tbere was one in Merthyr Tydfil lovely food, i'm going back to 79.

A freeze frame of Petunias face just before the crash at about 03:47 is quite horrific!!!

So many things could kill you in 1970s Britain, now we have to add worn tyres to the list. Although I suspect more people died from smoking Benson & Hedges, the sponsor of the showjumping.

I like the 1st advert of Bold Automatic washing powder

Margaret was rushing to introduce Women Only but was to late as the HTV Ident was several seconds in.

[JH-lthn]

Remember Liptons from those days; all the products added came to £1.93. Adjusted for inflation, it would cost over £14 these days if not a bit more!

[jasejj]

That Liptons ad is one of the most deliciously cheesy things I've ever seen 😂

[stuartharris]

Loved the Joe & Petunia films, this was the last one and Brigit Forsyth replaced Wendy Craig for the voice of Petunia!

[garethbramley]

Voiceovers on the Joe + Petunia public information film are Peter Hawkins and Brigit Forsyth.
This was the fourth and final film in the series (the first three were voiced by Wendy Craig).

[david_g_barron]

The eighteen hour corselette, what happens if someone wears more than one second after eighteen hours. Damn Jasper Carrott.

[brucedanton]

HTV Cymru Wales or HTV West had one of the best ITV idents of old then-just as good as the then ATV Zoom 2 one or indeed any of the others really? Thank you of course!

[daverhodes]

Does this mean we add HTV Wales to the list of ITV stations Dinenage has worked on?!

[timgtm]

Exactly 5 and a half years old that day

[sandretrogubbins]

This lot pull up some rare sh*t for sure.
