Channel 4 | Adverts | Continuity | December 2002

Today I have something rather special, Adsters. I have four, yes, FOUR Ad Breaks in one to show you today! Some classic noughties Ads, Trails, and Idents from Channel 4! During and (to a lesser extent) after a film called The Quiller Memorandum. Given to me by my good buddy BlueFrog who gave me some stuff from old tapes he had laying around which he transferred to MP4 for me. Special thanks to him, he’s a real legend for being so awesome and giving.
Anyway, enjoy the nostalgia, Adsters!

Lombard Direct may actually be my favourite advert of all time, not just because of the nostalgia value, but also because it is a well crafted piece in general.

The Lombard Direct telephone is massive nostalgia bait for me lol

Same here!

I never realized the Co-Operative Bank had Ads where they didn't say how they weren't partaking in the Evils of the World.
