I've always enjoyed good quality cinema ads and I have fond memories of one or two 1980s ads that would cover a particular type of business in a 'multi purpose' way, and finish with a caption and voice over specific to a particular shop/garage/etc. As these were for local use, I'd imagine that perhaps only one print of the brief end section was produced on 35mm in some instances. I wondered when this sort of advertising died out in the UK, or can these ads still be seen anywhere nowadays? Luckily, a small number of ads of this type have survived via Derann advert reels.

I remember one being on a Classic Home Cinema advert reel too. Anyone know what the advert is for and which reel it's on?

DCR brought out a reel of adverts that all had Isle of Wight captions on the end, unfortunately it's only in B/W, but quite good quality though, it pops up from time to time.
