Apparently Steve Harley was asked to record a special version for that ad but he declined so they got a mimic to do it - very convincing!

Oh yeah.... those crazy guitars man!!!

Have to agree with you Flash! I posted this aswell, apparently not many people remember it! What were they watching if they weren't watching this?

Bearing in mind that I'm really old:

Casey Jones - B&W TV show from the 50's in the States, shown over here during kids' summer holidays in the 1970's. This was before CBBC etc.

Likewise the original Flash Gordon, Buck Rogers, & Revenge of the Rocketmen (later revamped as the Rocketeer) - originally 1930's and 1940's cinema serials in the States, served up every morning of the summer holidays in the 1970's for us kids to devour.

Onto genuine kids TV - anyone remember Pipkins? ITV lunchtimes in the 70's. It used to be on when Rainbow wasn't, if you know what I mean. A series of Rainbow would finish and Pipkins would then take it's place 12.10 - 12.30 every lunchtime. Pipkins was hilarious, far superior to Rainbow, the main characyer being a very stuffy and arrogant hare called Hartley. Classic.

Ooh, and Skippy the Bush Kangaroo. Again summer holiday TV.

I'm just going off to replace the dust in my veins with some virgin blood. I shall live forever I tell you, FOREVER!

I've never felt so young

Ow! Stop hitting me!

Anyone else here reliving their youth with ITV2 repeating The Wonder Years? I personally appreciate it more second time around. Great cover by Joe Cocker as the theme song too.

Reliving their youth? I was in my 20's the first time around! I'm afraid that the Wonder Years has just too much sacarine in it for me.

"Well, it was around that time that I began to realise the true meaning of friendship. And it ain't no fancy lick of paint on no sporty automobile, nor the latest and greatest fad or flash in the pan rock group. No, true friendship goes a lot deeper than that. And on that warm summer's day, standing outside old man Johnson's soda fountain, it was Sarah-Lou who finally taught me the true meaning of friendship. It's just been there for a person when a person needs them to be there. And the funny thing - 15 years later I made Sarah-Lou my wife. And today, more years later than I care to remember, she's still my best friend."

BLEURGH!

awww no, I think that's really sweet
