A 1973 commercial break on Ulster Television. Interesting for a few reasons - the government warnings related to the Troubles (toy guns, unattended vehicles, confidential helplines), a (somewhat sexist these days) appeal for trainee prison officers, a black and white ad, and the cheap and partially cheerful VO/slide ads accompanied by cheesy music. I’m assuming the latter were voiced live, possibly by the duty CA, as he stumbles over a telephone number?
