PRESENTING another feast of Christmas adverts, this time from 1977, beginning with KATE O’MARA, fresh from The Brothers, promoting the pump-action genius of Paper-Mate pens, a futuristic effort for GEC radios (“when first made, it cost 35 old pounds!”), and the Sparklets Beertap, just the thing for the nation’s Terry Colliers to keep their Watney’s Party Seven fresh.

Next, there’s another endorsement for ‘a pint and a Castella’ (“well, it’s not a sausage roll, is it?”), a touch of 1970s decadence from Schweppes (“you know who”) starring CONNIE BOOTH and, best of all, a fantastic toe-tapping musical number for Timex watches (“give a touch of razzle dazzle/give them Snoopy under glass!”). You’ll be singing it from now until Christmas Day 1978.
