1940's Television: A very rare television commercial for Swift Meats, aired on ABC Radio and the Du Mont Television Network in December 1948. This 1948 commercial is simply hilarious!!
Not quite sure what the product is, but this is a really funny commercial. For the best UK blog and the latest Moaning Cow book on advertising visit www.themoaningcow.com
According to Chas' excellent book the duo's music was featured in 7 different Courage Best ads; well he was wrong as there were in fact 8 of them, & here they all are! These were based on the following songs: Gertcha The Sideboard Song Rabbit What A Miserable Saturday Night Margate That's What I LIke I'm In Trouble Wallop! (My sincere thanks to Craig at the Courage Best promotional department for helping me me locate footage of these ads, I truly appreciate it!). Despite their immense popularity, Chas & Dave are very poorly represented via YouTube. I have around 20 hours of footage (mainly from their 1979-1987 commercial & creative peak) so I've started this channel to share some of these classic performances. I'm always looking for more Chas & Dave footage (or upgrades of videos I already have), so if you have anything & feel like trading then please get in touch! Also let me know if there are any particular songs that you're after & I'll see if I can help. Please note this channel is not officially sanctioned by Chas & Dave, & any infringement of copyrights is unintentional; my sole aim is to promote their music to a wider audience.
