Hosted by Graham Norton and originally shown 29th April 2000 on Channel 4. Production title: THE 100 GREATEST TV ADS Synopsis: Remember Nick Kamen in the laundrette, the Smash Martians, and the R-Whites secret lemonade drinker? Television ads are an integral part of pop culture and by their very nature they are compulsive viewing - they have to be to sell their product. Presented by GRAHAM NORTON, The 100 Greatest TV Ads counts down the all time greatest 100 ads as voted by the British public, in the first TV poll of its kind. From the innocent '50s to the streetwise '90s advertisements tell as much about the current culture and aspirations of society as they do the products themselves. The 100 Greatest TV Ads tells the stories behind the ads - how the idea came about, how the ad was made, why it was banned or what happened to its star. GAIL PORTER will be taking a global view of some ads you won't have seen, a handful of classics that had the bad manners to be made abroad. The programme shows all 100 ads mixed with behind-the-scenes footage and interviews with the advertising industry movers and shakers who made the ads and the stars who feature in them. including: GARY LINEKER, MELANIE SYKES, GRIFF RHYS JONES, LORRAINE CHASE, VICTOR KIAM and directors TONY KAY and ALAN PARKER. 1 Guinness: horses and surfers, 1999 2 Smash: Martians, 1973 3 Tango Orange Man, 1992 4 Electricity Association: Heat - Nick Park's Creature Comforts, 1992 5 Boddingtons: Melanie Sykes Ice Cream, 1997 6 Levi's Launderette - Nick Kamen, 1985 7 R Whites: Secret Lemonade Drinker, 1972 8 Hamlet: Baldy Man in Photo Booth, 1986 9 Walker's Crisps: Gary Lineker, 1993 10 Impulse: Chance Encounter - first gay ad, 1998 11 Cinzano: Airliner with Joan Collins & Leonard Rossiter, 1978 12 Renault Clio: Interesting - Papa & Nicole, 1991 13 Yellow Pages: JR Hartley, 1983 14 BT: The Ology with Maureen Lipman, 1987 15 Nike: Park Life - Cantona, Seaman, Ian Wright, etc., 1997 16 Coca-Cola: Teach the World to Sing, 1971 17 Carling Black Label: Dambusters, 1989 18 Shake 'n' Vac: Dancing Woman, 1979 19 Andrex: Puppy, 1972 20 Real Fires: Furry Friends - dog, cat & mouse, 1988 21 Ferrero Rocher: Ambassador's reception, 1995 22 Oxo: Oxo family, from 1957 23 Cornetto: Just one Cornetto, 1980 24 PG Tips: Chimps, Mr Shifter, 1970 25 Castlemaine: I wouldn't give a XXXX - sherry, 1986 26 Flake: Flake girl, from 1961 27 Milky Bar: Milky Bar kid, from 1961 28 Hovis: Boy on bicycle, 1974 29 Heineken: Refreshes the parts - water in Majorca, 1986 30 Kit Kat: Pandas, 1989 31 Gold Blend: Couple, from 1987 32 Duracell: Rabbit, 1981 33 John Smith's Bitter: Dog tricks, 1981 34 Pepsi: Lipsmackinthirstquenchin, 1973 35 Martini: Anytime, anyplace, anywhere, 1971 36 Cadbury's Fruit and Nut: Frank Muir, from 1977 37 Turkish Delight: Eastern Promise, from 1957 38 Apple: 1984, 1984 39 Fosters: Paul Hogan/ballet, 1984 40 Tetley: Teafolk, from 1973 41 Campari: Luton Airport, 1977 42 VW: Changes, Paula Hamilton, 1987 43 Old Spice: Surfer, 1978 44 Esso: Tiger campaign, from 1964 45 One-2-One: Ian Wright, 1997 46 Milk: Humphrey's about, 1975 47 Mates Condoms: Chemist shop, 1988 48 Milk Tray: Avalanche - And all because ... from 1974 49 Heinz Beans: A million housewives every day, from 1967 50 Stella Artois: Flowers and many more...
