i.e. august 2021 if you're watching this the near future

Except Teledu cymru whose entire history was covered in about a minute flat

This is a great strand and tends to make me remember football tournaments more than the football itself. The 1998 World Cup was the one I remember the most and it’s weird to contrast Vauxhall’s approaches to that and Euro ‘96.

Love the content. Keep up the good work. Skys football coverage has had some interesting sponsors over the years, especially the efl

What was itv sponser euro 2012

Neat thing is that Anglia hasn't moved their studio ever since and still have the knight on display in their offices!

A cute detail on the Carlsberg Euro 2004 is we can barely see other UEFA sponsors such as Canon and Coca-Cola, and even Fujifilm which wasn't featured in that tournament. Thing is, it's true that the Euro 2004 was the blandest shit ever, but for me as a Greek person, these ads are burned in my brain even to this day because we had the exact adverts and I have fond memories from that time.

Don’t forget proctor and gamble; they bombarded the sponsor ads I think 2016.

I remember being pretty hyper about this and hooking up an extension cable through to the bathroom so I could watch it on the portable TV. We didn't get the bank holiday so had to miss all the Monday daytime stuff and just get back for the end!

I loved Little Chef and Happy Eater. Only place in the UK like it now is Brightside Diner.

Bit of an area of expertise, so more than happy to wear the anorak to beat all anoraks here: UEFA always stipulate ITV have to carry their worldwide sponsors at the Euros, in a similar way to how they used to with the Champions League (think Ford, Heineken, Sony etc.). That's why they can't negotiate with Sega/Vauxhall/whoever anymore to sponsor THEIRS specifically. What they can do is get a company to sponsor their highlights coverage, because those aren't covered by the same rules. There were quite a few of those Lucozade Sport ones in 2010, none of them particularly interesting or noteworthy though. Much of a muchness with the one shown, all very eerie and faintly sinister. The Budweiser spots were terrible, but they made more sense in context: at the time, they were the official beer of the Premier League, and their marketing campaign was based around how Americans don't get football. Lot of jokes about franchising Arsenal to play in the Lake District, or merging the two Manchester clubs, or having an NFL coach become a manager. All for shit beer. In fact, Budweiser isn't technically classed as a beer in Germany because it contains rice (our version would be Quavers/Discos not being 'crisps'), so they had to compromise and put some writing in Chinese on the hoardings at that tournament. The Vauxhall ones actually had two different sets. The POV ones were shown going into the programme (integrated in the titles, as has been mentioned) but between breaks they ran some match footage 'comically' overdubbed with stupid jokes. Even Fantasy Football were taking the piss out of it: ua-cam.com/video/BD-Y5wRPw1k/v-deo.html Also, Travelex signed in 2002 because no one else wanted to pay the fee ITV were asking for, and so they got it at a cut rate (and the 2003 Rugby World Cup too). Kickoff times were rubbish for ad revenue because it was in Japan/Korea, after all.

I was on the road a lot of during the 90's. The highlight and must of any trip was a LC stop. I've probably visited at least half of the LCs in the country during that time. Generally the quality was good, staff well trained and courteous and restaurants were clean. Although armed with the LC map, if I was in a new area I would often call customer services and tell them my route and they would give me options for my stop. I loved Little Chef. It is sadly missed.

Regarding the Vauxhall sponsorship of ITV's World Cup coverage, the advertising bumpers consisted of snippets from the coverage dubbed over by Mike Osman and Peter Brackley (RIP) for, ahem, "comic effect". Example below: During the gift exchange before the Iran-USA game: Iranian captain: (dubbed with the absolute worst Iranian accent ever) In spirit of friendship, I give you this ceremonial hubcap! USMNT captain: (dubbed just as badly) Geez, buddy, all I got you are these flowers! Never mind Bend It Like Beckham, this was more Curl It Like Cringe.

Don't remember the Great Shots at all, of course the bigger memory was staying up late to watch Ireland live on UTV. The only football poster I ever had was one of the Ireland team from that World Cup. We're All Part of Jackie's Army (And in the Absence of England, So Are You.) Sega also figure in the nostalgia of that era, summer meaning playing FIFA titles while cousins are holidaying. The actual football passed me by in Euro '96, must have been a reflex thing, you know, England. My focus was on Cartoon Network's Toon Cup '96 with its 'vote for your favourite toon' event which parents must have absolutely loved on a frigging landline in those days... And Always Coca Cola at or around its peak.

100 times more interesting than watching sport itself ;p

The mary Whitehouse experience went off hard about the national power advert in one of their radio series around series 3 end.

My face lit up when I saw here was another 'Brough to You By...'. Definitely love this as a strand :) I can't judge if this is too anaoraky to bring up, but regardless, are Vauxhall's World Cup 98 sponsors a relative one-off in that they connect straight to the ITV opening titles/bumpers via the use of ITV's theme for the tournament (a remix of Jean Michel Jarre's Rendez-Vous 98 courtesy of Apollo 440). I can see how other stings from different years are integrated too, those which also intrude on the ITV titles rather than appearing cleanly before/after them, but this specific approach feels rarer - more like This Morning with BT or something.

Nobody: ITV World Cup 2006 coverage: WHERE DO THEY GET THEIR ENERGY FROM?

This year, the European Cup is being broadcast on American Television and on FOX to boot.

damn, i thought this was an older episode but it's been uploaded less than an hour ago, I've never been this early here

16:31 It's either an American trying to do a "Bri-ish" accent or Russell Brand is singing it. 🎵 "Eterrrni-eeee" 🎵 Lol.

Lee Ross played Mon Mothma's personal driver in Star Wars spin off, "Andore" so he's still at it

9th December 1984?.......thats 15 days before i was born!

13:07 - I had that sticker, too!

Take a look at Irish adverts

I binge watched Jupiter Moon recently and very much enjoyed all 150 episodes.

21:20 "You ungrateful bastards! I hope you DO forget to switch off your set and your house burns down in the night!" 😂

Worth mentioning that chewing gum ad predated Frozen by at least 5 years. Maybe Disney ripped THEM off 😂

The opening Max Boyce gig, that's the World Cup 1999 opening ceremony. Weirdly enough it was during school time. My IT teacher rolled in the trolley with the wood stained telly on it and extended the coaxial from the staff room. Legend

Anglia House still exists in Norwich. Huge building... but all they produce is "Anglia News". Totally homes in on Norwich (which pisses off Suffolk, Essex and Cambridgeshire) yet admittedly more local than the piss-poor, diluted "Look East" on BBC. Anglia News is nonetheless staggeringly dull and its beyond comprehension as to why it cant be cobbled together in a couple of cost effective portacabins. Jobs for the boys/girls/pronouns. Graham Bell, Jane Probyn, Patrick Anthony (actually a good egg, despite falling asleep during a late night link - also an entertaining TV Chef on Fridays "Patricks Pantry"), John Bacon, Paul Barnes (remember Write On?), Vic Birtles, Michael Hurll (he was up for anything....ahem), Christine Webber, John Benson, the brilliant Paul Lavers and.....Peter Fenn on the organ. Days of yore In the 1991 franchise game of poker, Three East had some brilliant ideas, a high quality business case and prudent financial plans. Many saw it as a shoo-in; the Rt.Hon Jim Prior MP was part of the consortium who sought to knock Anglia about and modernise Eastern television, it looked like a no-brainer as Anglia had "done a Southern" and assumed it was beyond a challenge. Even today there is some bitterness about alledged backroom deals which saw Anglia survive.

Not to come across as smug, but The Frog Prince comes from Hesse in the smack-dab center of Germany, not Bavaria.

Yes. The ATV "In Colour" (zoom 2) ident was by far the classiest television ident. Closely followed by LWT and the more modest HTV blue and white mock-up

think forgot about these Oracle tags #CoolStoryBro #TellItAgain #BobtheFish #OraclePage666 #ITVSport #Carlsberg PS Carlsberg don't do requests, but If they did, they'd probably be the best requests [Jeremy Clarkson voice] In The Worrrrrld #HowHardCanItBe? #ClarksonsFarm #ClarksonforPM

You missed out the advert for some Australian lager or other where the frog turns out not to be a prince, but a Fair Dinkum Aussie Jolly Swagman, who then goes on to kiss the princess and turn her into a pint and can of the product. I think it was for Castlemaine XXXX, but I'm not quite sure.

I hated going around this shop with my mum I know in Europe they still have them

Oh, I think that's already been mentioned... sorry...

If donny won the Olympic bid I'd only be about a 20 min drive away!

There's a few on the HAT Ads archive I believe, also various configurations of 'ITV Euro 2000' seem to bring a few on YT. Love the new format point BTW ❤

There is one in this video "ITV Carlton (Central) | continuity | 13th June 2000 | NICAM stereo"

I'd quite like to see the Olympics 35 miles away from where I live. That thing about Boycott isn't news though

3:38 It's a joke you've already done before but I half expected Gary Numan to smash cut in here: In plaque! Der-duh, der der der-duh...

Channel 4 is the only station not to change their ident

During the 00s I used to wonder about how nostalgia for the decade would look? It didn’t really have an aesthetic or a look as such?

7:21 I tittered

9:29, which are now pumping literal shit into the rivers and by extension your drinking water

Exceptional. If this had been on a broadcast channel, this series would have won awards.

This series which I have only just discovered is consistently outstanding. Thanks for making it.

A surprisingly entertaining retrospective on an era of particularly unpromising television. I learnt a great deal! Thanks.
