[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 256328, member: 23"] [CENTER]The subject of Jaws on TV has prompted me to seek out some ITV-related [I]Jaws[/I] stuff: Here are the bumpers and adverts from the first screening of [I]Jaws[/I] on ITV. If you look closely you can work out where some of the adverts were placed: [MEDIA=youtube]kdjYWese4dk[/MEDIA] Some of the adverts are unintentionally hilarious. And as for the products... anyone for an Alpha Probe?! That first advert would never make it onto TV today. Can you imagine?! Speaking of less-than-politically-correct, the Thames TV continuity announcer introduced the British TV premiere of [I]Jaws[/I] with a Bernard Manning style mother-in-law joke, as seen here: [MEDIA=youtube]NpXPxxdn4lc[/MEDIA] And here's the [I]Jaws 2 [/I]British premiere being advertised right after the premiere of [I]Superman: The Movie[/I]. A great time to be alive: [MEDIA=youtube]xvDq78fCJBo[/MEDIA] Finally, here's a nice retrospective article about the ITV premiere of [I]Jaws[/I]: [URL='https://thedailyjaws.com/blog/jaws-steven-spielberg-first-shown-on-uk-tv-1981']The Day Almost Half A Country Tuned In To Watch [I]Jaws[/I][/URL][/CENTER] [/QUOTE]
