Yes. Definitely Sayle. I remember the 'stylised robot character' used in the ads.

As to the Scotch/3M "re-record not fade away" VHS tape ads, they were voiced by the late Robin Bailey [who was 'Uncle Mort' in the 1970s Yorkshire-centric "I Didn't Know You Cared" series]

I loved the twirling-on-his-perch skeletonical budgie/parrot.
I wonder if 30 years later, 3M/Scotch would still honour their 'lifetime guarantee' and give me a new VHS tape to replace my tired one??
