Crikey, that takes me back! (To the computer. I don't remember the ad at all.)
Truly awful soundtrack, though, isn't it? (Mind you, I have a video of a commercial for an Oric, I think, and that is terrible too.) Wonder if there's a web site with the old Toshiba MSX crash test dummies computer ads at all? ("Hello, Dad, can I have a computer?" "What you need, son, is a *honk* on the hooter." ... "What about in a year, when it's out of date?" "No chance of that - this is MSX, mate!" etc.)
