6:53 looks like a Bremi BRL500 amp on the right 🙂

Richard Baker gave up presenting BBC News bulletins and Moira was promoted to the role of lead presenter of the 17.40 bulletin.

Fozzy bear is my uncle 😆

My dad showed me this when I was a kid, I’m 1996 so waaay before my time… had this stuck in my head for years 😂😂

i Remember the year it went legal fm. Chrisy!as was a nightmare with loads of 10 year old kids getting a rig and blocking up 14 . Christmas turkeys !

what is hte car that widow maker is driving?

Oops, plug the mic in. T.v. frequencies are not near 27 MHz. Audio equipment is not near 27 MHz. It's badly designed equipment which is picking up signals it was not designed for. I had problems with three t.v.'s and two hi-fi's when running 100 Watts s.s.b. An aerial coax breaker sorted out one t.v. and a ferrite ring partially sorted out another. I called in the Post Office and was told to carry on and he would explain to my neighbours. The joy of being licenced. So did f.m. interfere with hospital pagers like he said? G4GHB.

Hardly anybody on now round here. It's very quiet. As a radio amateur it's not a.m., certainly not at four Watts which is the problem, it's badly made and cheap television and hi-fi systems. Our Fergusson t.v. was great with no problems even with my 100 Watts s.s.b. They missed a marketing chance by not advertising them as virtually immune to breakthrough from c.b. radio. G4GHB.

Its interesting in 2024 that there is still a nice activity on 11m and 27.555 on USB, its amazing what can be picked up with a simple setup. 27FM still has ocassional blips, always fun when there is a 'lift' on and can make contacts very far on FM. Interesting video.

What a rush😂😂

To me the whole costume/sci fi thing was a very thin veneer covering a bunch of failed Blue Peter auditionees. I liked the tune, though

Was he George in only fools and horses

Ssb and am is now legal on the European bands in the uk ...and we now have 12w of power.....cb is making a come back slowly...and technology is amazing in 2023 ive got a thunderpole tx hand held radio...and in export mode 25_30mhz..and the NRC noise blacker is brilliant it pulls the stations out of the nose floor when dxing😏😏 😊

Love it and its making a come back aswell...it starting to pick up again.....i ordered a new thunderpole tx hand held radio...and I can say technology in cb radio has improved lots since I was on in the 90s...😏😏

"You cant interfere with half a watt" Oh my god, she is just the woman. I am drunk and in love.

Question, why was AM not Okay but FM was?

Waveband haha

"not something that turns you on but something you turn on" speak for yourself buddy. Pfft

morning glorys accent is a rarety in the UK now

HE'S WEARING A DECORATIVE VEGETABLE!!!

FM CB was rubbish, as for not interfering it was worse than AM, your always going to get some TVI but it was worse on FM, it was terrible, even got it coming through the toaster, loved Am in the Uk plus sideband, even tested it out, got a bloke from the next street to come round, i was giving him TVI, he rang his misses and i transmitted on legal radio and it wiped out their telly, put it onto Am and nothing, bought him a TVI filter, FM cb i had trouble getting from one end of town to the other, the government was forced to give us CB, so they gave us the worst cb thinking it would die out, it didnt, there are still lots of people all over the world today that will never give up cb, and im one of them..

1223 mad max Nova Scotia Canada waving.

This was a big thing in the early 80s as I remember it, I think people were captivated by the song “Convoy”. Once it was legalised it seemed to die out quite quickly (or that’s how it seemed to me at least). 10 4 Rubber Duck etc. just sounds plain stupid in a Grimsby accent.. 😂 Is CB still a thing in 2023?

So, for someone from the states is this kind of like the old Jerry Lewis telethons or something?

in the 80s I've a satellite 4000 with FM 40channels. 😂

Who replaced Denis Tuohy on this programme. I remember this was later rebranded as Thames Reports

We never got this in the Midlands!

Internet killed the radio star 😢

Reminds me of the time Tom Baker started ripping off pieces of his scarf for some children next to him saying: Want a Scarf? People started to GASP.

I want to watch everything everywhere worldwide that’s just like this I’m obsessed with cheesiness and being a 70’s / 80’s child I’m even more in love with this style of cheese, someone make me a list NOW !!😄

Glory you're an OG

Blessed love to all, I have bin a operator since 1977 an still is up to this day 2023, waiving my hands from Jamaica west Indies !!

Brilliant video about the CB Radio back in the 80's I really wish that I would of been older at the time and experienced what the CB Radio was really like back then compared to now because there's hardly anybody left on the old 11 meters I started the CB craze back in 1995 and I have met some weird and wonderful people on the CB and I have lost a lot of good friends who are now sadly silent keys but I still have a lot of really good memories and some of the QSO's I've had with people through the years has been absolutely fantastic and it's all been really good fun and I still use the CB to this very date 29 years I've been on the air and it's been brilliant. Thanks and best 73's to everybody out there cheers. Stephen M3SNV 26-RW-103 73's.

love my kenwood ts-870 still use it now

Immortal. Brilliantly scripted, performed and even edited. I love the raised arm with the hammer, followed by everyone lifting their cups of tea, the collapse of the table followed by the denouement of descent into madness. It’s amazing how much information about the characters in so little time

The CB shop "Frequency 27" is now a taxi firm. There's even a CB aerial on the roof! Can't be from 1981 surely?

Why does this ad make me want rock hard mints instead of the chewy mentos style of mints? 😂😂

Brilliant video I really wish that I would of grown up in 1981 when the CB became legal in the UK shame really but I started using CB back in 1995 when I was 15 years old and my very first CB radio was a Binnatone Route 66 and I had a CB Di-pole at the back of my parents house and a Eurosonic 3-5 amp power supply and at first I just listened around the 40 channels and I spoke to a friend next door but one and I managed a 5 minute QSO and in the end I got mic fright and I switched off and went to bed I'll never forget my first time on the CB it was crazy and 28 years later I'm still on the CB plus the amateur radio and it's all been good fun through the years I've been on the CB and I have met some weird and wonderful people but it's still a great hobby to take up. Thanks and 73's everyone cheers. Stephen M3SNV 73's.

I love my Colt Excalibur mint like new works brilliant.

This advert brings back hysterical memories from school History class. One of the kids, the class joker, would start whispering to his neighbours something like “Chewy mints at 12 o’clock!”, or “Rock hard!” at quarter past. It’d go round the class in seconds and then everyone would be glued to the wall clock and when the right time came round the entire class would erupt into “CHEWWWWWWWY MINTS!!!!”, or “ROCKARRRRRRD!!!”, as loud as we could. Even kids who weren’t disruptive would join in! It was absolutely priceless! 🤣🤣🤣

Great advert, very fondly remembered by my whole family 40 or so years on! I was at school back then and for some reason we were each asked what our favourite advert was by our teacher so I said this one as it was funny: That wasn't enough for her (presumably she hadn't seen it) so I was asked to elaborate on why, but as I couldn't explain I just ended up doing an impression of the entire advert in front of the whole class, particularly letting rip on the "CHEWY MINTS?!! CHEEEEEEEWWWWWWWY MINTS?!!!" (which after all is everyone's favourite bit!). Don't think I'd ever made so many people laugh so much before or since! We all learned an important lesson that day, that chewy mints advert is funny! 🤣

'Anyone for cricket'

I used to watch this, BBC 1 on a Thursday night back in the early 80s wasn't it?

Who ended up with the coat?

Wanna get arthur daley on the case

Sure wish CB was like that in the U.S., like it was back in the '70s. Today nobody uses CB anymore.

Anyone know what year this was from? Cheers

And i thought the old star trek looked cheap atleast they didnt talk to flat pictures and used guys in costumes for aliens.

The real reason for fm only was because the range for AM was much much bigger than fm, its all about control of communication of the public countrywide, there was no mobile phones back in 1981, also everyone could hear you in one go unlike phones. Also no seatbelt laws untill 1983.
