Or I guess you could say, from some of my EARLIEST uploads, "Channel 4 (UK) 25th Anniversary Continuity and Ad Breaks (2007, Part 2.5)"?? Anyway, SURPRISE!

Digging through my old DVD-Rs, I came across a mysterious one that was unmarked. I tried playing it regularly and it wouldn't work, however through just going into the files and playing what was there...I found this! Never thought I'd ever see this again, so...viola!

I really liked the stuff they did with the continuity of Channel 4's 25th anniversary night. I was born in the early 90's, so the original Channel 4 look wasn't as organically nostalgic to me as it might be to some others, but a little part of me felt sad it only lasted a day. x)

You may also remember that I posted, a veeery long time ago, one of the "Special Ad Breaks" that Channel 4 would play during that same night to commemorate the occasion. Great concept, taking ads from 1982 and comparing them to ads for the same products in the then-current day. You can view that here: youtube.com/watch?v=kNuBowckyKc

For now, CONTENTS!:
1) UK TV spot for "American Gangster"
2) Emporio Armani Diamonds ad (With Beyonce belting like SHE NEVER BELTED BEFORE. I both loved this ad and found it unintentionally hilarious back then, but now I just love it. Life is weird!)
3) TV advert for "Version" by Mark Ronson (Strange remembering a time when Mark Ronson was this mysterious, up-and-coming collaborator he was before he became OMNIPRESENT. The version of "Valerie" with Amy Winehouse alone has easily eclipsed the original.)
4) TV advert for "A Guide to Love, Loss and Desperation" by The Wombats
5) Radox Daily Elements ad
6) UK TV ad for "Hannah Montana: Pop Star Profile" DVD (Boy, this upload is a real time capsule, isn't it? xD)
7) Glade Scented Oils ad
8) TV advert for "Radio 1's Live Lounge: Volume 2" CD compilation
9) Channel 4 sting / Promo for "Love Trap" (ala the 1982-1996 days!)
10) Sponsered by T-Mobile bumper / "Transmission with T-Mobile" errr...returns? I can't remember which part this is (This was a short-lived, late night music show. I'm going to have to make a playlist of all these 25th anniversary Channel 4 uploads I've done because you get to see SLIGHTLY more of that show through those too!)
