This week TV sitcom dinosaurs roam the earth and you can't pitch a TV ad to a client unless you're playing the jingle on a white grand piano whilst wearing fancy dress.

Ah yes the seventies, where a glass of lemonade is a guilty pleasure to be taken in the middle of the night and the ad industry believes the only way to get you to buy some is to sing the brand name to you 24 times in a 30 second advert.

Come along with us as we hopscotch through the white dogshit of 1973 and we'll introduce you to Elvis Costello’s Dad and gargle our way through a review of a 30 second TV ad for a 176 year old carbonated drink that features two actors who would go on to forever have the words “Star of the Secret Lemonade drinker advert” appended to their names, because everything they ever did after it was shit.

See the ad for yourself on our YouTube channel at https://youtu.be/ciD3XCTr0h0 and get in touch if you fancy it at [email protected]. Subscribe, give us a like, give us a review and look out for us on Twitter if that's your thing.

Tara for now.
