Leave a commentHarp Lager – Sally O’Brien
Published July 14, 2009 | 
The famous Irish 1980 commercial for Harp Lager featuring Sally O’Brien “and the way she might look at you”. This commercial put Vicki Michelle of Allo Allo fame on the map.
Vicki Michelle (born 14 December 1950 in Chigwell, Essex) is an English actress best known for her role as Yvette Carte-Blanche in the television comedy series ‘Allo ‘Allo! – a role in which she is still active with the touring cast of the stage show based on the television series.
After spending much of 2008 on tour with the ‘Allo ‘Allo! stage show, Michelle took a break to pursue various other projects, including appearing as the Wicked Queen in a pantomime production of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, which runs until 11 January 2009 at the Hull New Theatre. She will, however, rejoin the cast of ‘Allo ‘Allo! in March 2009, reprising her role as sexy waitress Yvette. Michelle made several appearances in the British soap opera Emmerdale as Patricia Foster, mother of Jonny Foster – a role which she is set to reprise early in 2009. She is part of the cast of the long-running touring play Seven Deadly Sins Four Deadly Sinners produced by Marc Sinden.
Michelle’s film roles have included that of Glenys in the 1976 comedy film The Likely Lads, as well as playing an English hitchhiker in Alfie Darling. She also appeared in the infamous adverts for Harp Lager in the early 1980s. The slogan was “Sally O’Brien and the way she might look at you.” It caused uproar when it was discovered that the actress playing Sally O’Brien was English. In 2007, she appeared in a Children In Need special of Hotel Babylon and, the following year, appeared on BBC’s cookery programme Celebrity Masterchef.

Action Man – Skyhawk commercial from the 80′s
Watch Action Man take to the skies in this Palitoy commercial. Actually one of the shorter TV adverts but nonetheless the Skyhawk was one of the larger pieces of Action Man equipment. Also an ode to a time where kids got out more and no batteries were required to have fun.
Scalextric
Published August 4, 2008 | Scalextric commercial from the 1980′s
Scalextric came from the Scalex brand of Minimodels Ltd, which was a clockwork powered race car system that first appeared in 1952. Their inventor, Mr B. Francis, showed Scalextric (“Scalex” plus “electric”) cars at the annual Harrogate Toy Fair in 1957. In 1958, unable to meet demand for their popular range, the parent company was sold to Lines Bros Ltd, who operated as “Tri-ang”. Their subsidiary Rovex, which specialised in plastic, then developed Scalextric, converting the metal cars to the easier and cheaper to mould plastic. The track, which was originally a rubber compound, became moulded plastic at a later date. Production continued at Mini-models in Havant until 1967, when it moved to Rovex’s own site.
