Oh hey, guess it wasn't long until I posted again, eh?
Accidentally bumped into the source files for this and was surprised I hadn't done any uploads based on these so...hey! It's May, Corporation-Mandated Celebration of Huge IP Franchise Day was earlier this month...as good a time as any to share the continuity for the Network Premiere of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens". I'm aware that people have shared continuities to the original Star Wars movies specifically so I guess, high time for this stuff to be archived on the internet for the one "mainline" SW movie I know that's had a nice big Network Premiere on a major UK TV network...which I know isn't as impressive a thing now with stuff leaning more to streaming platforms than "network TV" but hey, traditions eh?
CONTENTS!:
1) Coca-Cola ad (Partial)
2) Vodafone ad
3) Webuyanycar.com ad (w/ Phillip Scofield, because of course)
4) McDonald's ad
5) Oak Furnitureland ad
6) ASDA / George.com ad
7) DFS ad (The DFS ads in these uploads also tie-in to "The LEGO Movie 2", which I remember really enjoying yet no one talks about it now)
8) Harveys ad
9) Travel Republic ad
10) Ford SUV Range ad
11) Nutella ad (Maybe its because this is around an airing of an incredible Massive movie that's okay for families to watch but don't be too shocked to see belated returns of Christmassy ads that feel like they'd not be relevant by December 30th, when this aired. xD I'm not complaining, myself though)
12) ITV ID Sting / Promo for "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?"
13) ITV Creates Promo (In case it wasn't clear, this is ITV announcing the launch of a new ident package which at the time of posting I *think* is still being rolled out. At the very least, I don't think they've ever had ident repeats week after week so kinda ambitious...if only they paid as much care and attention to not being such an Oppressively Bland network otherwise!)
14) ITV ident / Just Eat sponsership bumper
15) Start of "Star Wars: A Force Awakens" / Urewelc / ITV "Back Soon" ID Sting / Just Eat sponsership bumper / ITV ID Sting
16) Coca-Cola ad (Full version of the ad at the start...for both Coca-Cola Classic *and* Zero Sugar! Spearheaded by the world's most uncritical liker of a soda brand, I guess)
17) Duracell ad (Featuring...Lanky Claus? I dunno, this campaign felt weird.)
18) First Choice ad
19) Barclaycard Entertainment ad
20) ComparetheMarket ad (This ad always didn't really hit when it's shown in its edited-down form like it is here, ah well)
21) Ford SUV Range ad
22) Dreams ad (Haha, what a cheesy edit down of the music)
23) DFS ad
24) FreeviewPlay ad w/ Currys PC World Smart TV promotion

27) ITV "We're Back" ID Sting / Omninousness and Gruntinousness / ITV "Back Soon" ID Sting / Just Eat sponsership bumper
28) ITV ID Sting / UK TV spot for "Alita: Battle Angel" (A *GIGANTIC* minute-and-a-half ad that's virtually its own mini-trailer for the Robert Rodrieguez/James Cameron sci-fi cult hit. I think this movie's awesome, so I'd be biased with saying if this was too much or not. Definitely recommended for sci-fi action fans.)
29) Centre Parcs ad
30) SCS ad
31) Dreams ad
32) Jet2holidays ad (Oh WOW, this ad really annoyed the fudge out of me after a while. I pray they don't resurrect this campaign when its okay for them to advertise like they did again, haha)

![The Company of Wolves (1984) UK Theatrical Trailer [HD]
[THIS TRAILER IS FOR AN 18-RATED FILM (R in the US) AND CONTAINS DISTURBING IMAGERY. You watch this at your own risk.
I initially made this an 18+ only upload but because it made it pretty much impossible for enough people interested to watch just this upload alone, even somehow not reaching those who are over-18 *and* are interested, Ive removed the 18+ caveat. The change was made on February 23rd 2021.]
Sourced directly from the 2005 DVD release of the film (which I have recently purchased brand new) and upscaled to HD via Topaz Video Enhance AI.
I recently checked this film out and found myself really enamoured by it, but was also frustrated by the lack of a good-quality trailer upload of the thing so tried my hand at offering that. Was *very* close to just being used as a source for a recreation of the trailer using this, Blu-ray footage of the film (which I also perchased) and recreated titles and logos, to be submitted to my dorkier 2nd channel things2tings, but I was so impressed with how this on its own looks that I decided its enough. Now, YouTube now has the original trailer in as-intended widescreen and in HD! Youre welcome. :D
Also, the first upload on here that I decided to make 18+ only. I believe the film itself these days could do okay by being re-rated 15 as It: Chapter Two comes close in terms of the grizzlier edges and got a 15 but even with that said, the images of Stephen Rea pulling skin off his face can still be very justifiably upsetting and squirm-inducing, so I figured as this is a channel that happens to have a lot of nostalgic initially-targetted-at-kids uploads, thisd be the right choice. Anyway, see you all next year or...whenever I feel like I have something to upload to here. x) The Company of Wolves (1984) UK Theatrical Trailer [HD]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Ki63vF4R15E/mqdefault.jpg)
![BBC1 Film Ends, Junction and Partial BBC News (1st/2nd January 1999)
I dont do a lot of uploads of BBC1 continuity taken from VHS as there isnt as much variety given as *the* public service broadcaster of the UK and funded directly through mandatory public TV Licenses, there are no commercials other than promos for the BBCs own stuff and the odd PIF (PSA) sometimes...but this time, I felt like making a rare exception because the fact Im digitising in a way that preserves the framerates and Very Overkill Resolutions, I felt itd have a touch more worth. On the same tape I have that has Do-It-Yourself, Mr. Bean on, theres the entirety of The Mask (the Jim Carrey movie, obviously) immediately after and...with a tiny bit of waiting first...the tape reveals that The Mask taped over another film that played over the season, the New Years Day 1999 TV premiere of Apollo 13. The truncated, zippy credit edits the BBC do for both films are here, as well as the junction after Apollo 13...and almost the entirety of the BBC News reports relating to the launch of the Euro currency, also on New Years Day 1999.
Confusingly, even though the Mr. Bean ep aired on New Years Day that year, that airing of The Mask was on the *2nd* of January so that goes first. And all the other New Years Day stuff is after. x) I missed dabbling in digitising VHS tapes, recorded tapes with layers of recordings are fun to discover whats on.
(EDIT: 27.07.2025 - I had to trim out the Braveheart promo due to a copyright claim from both 20th Century Studios and Paramount that formally forced this video to be blocked worldwide. Apologies to everyone for that! Im gonna miss the overacted ...because its full of Scots! in that promo too.)
