I stumbled across a box of old Radio Times and TV Times from 1970 and set about absorbing the nostalgia!
Lots of ads for alcohol (mostly port or whisky), lots of coupons and TONS of cigarette ads with no health labels on them - I think about 1 every 5 pages is a cigarette ad…
A magical new-fangled thing called ‘colour television’ is all the rage, the excitement is noticeable throughout the pages - this thing we know as the ‘Internet’ is but distant dream. and print was still a trusty old delivery system (some of the ads however look no different from today).
Lots of classified ads for miners, manual workers and car factory workers.
The women in the ads look normal (I think I only saw a single ad for a slimming product).
Petrol for 55p a gallon, a pint for 4shillings, a new house for £75k, a new FIAT for £1099, cigarettes for 23p and a bottle of port for 63p.
Lots of long-gone airline carrier ads - when flying was glamorous…
I felt the urge to preserve some of the better ads and present them here scanned and descreened at 300dpi for your enjoyment…
There are a few more snaps here from pages I didn't surgically remove from the magazines.
For people with 'nerves'...
I've been to BBH and it's great actually...
If only...

I like the boldness of this one, (and the funky beer cans - that came in cardboard?).
A new thing this 'colour TV'...
A classic here, Benson & Hedges with their usual quirkiness.
My dad talks a lot about these (Facebook petition to bring them back!).
Old school Lego (note the old logo and lack of colour choice).
This makes the 70's kinda...cool.
Eat it now...or else (I'll need a coupon with that too).
...and get punched in the face because of your sexist euphemism.
