Default Re: What radio & TV shop advertising do you remember?

# It's great service you get renting your colour set from Granada! #

That featured live action, but a previous, and largely forgotten TV campaign caused some controversy in the depots.

It depicted the engineers and customers as animated cartoon characters, and the engineers were dressed casually with polo-neck tops etc, where in reality we had a strict collar & tie dress code and would soon get a written warning if we digressed.

Naturally the question was asked about the inconsistency, you should have heard the men in suits trying to justify it, saying the characters in the adverts did not reflect customer expectations!
