Farther Hackett.
Ditto Last of the Summer Wine. How many more of the cast need to die before
they take it off?

Can anyone remember those TV advertisements for video tapes, can't
remember the make. But the point was that the tapes would last so
long that a skeleton enjoyed watching them again and again. Quite
creepy, really.

I'm pretty certain it was Scotch, with the catchy "rerecord not fade away"
slogan.

It was defintely Scotch and it did use the "Not Fade Away" track,
slightly changed.
And it was about twenty years ago.
And I know that you possibly shouldn't start off sentences with "And".
And various other mistakes in the above message.........

That's why my vehicle's the Piccadilly Line -
It's the size of a county and it comes every two and a half minutes
I'm going to tell you how its going to be.
With Scotch's new lifetime guarantee.
Something somethingg something night and day.
Then re-record not fade away.
Re-record not fade away.
The tape's lifetime? My lifetime? A may-fly's lifetime?
Live, Bill.
I get quite upset when I see sentences ending in "of".

So what are Scotch gonna do when you take a knackered tape back to
them now?
andyt
But who did the voice? I'm thinking Derek Guyler, but I'm pretty sure
that's wrong.
Halmyre
I'd have said Derek Guyler too.

Tape what you want both night and day

I'll try and have a look through my 80's ads DVD later tonight
(recording from VHS onto DVD) and check if it's on there - I'm not
promising anything though.
How dreadfully dreadfully sad I am.

Correct.
And the VO was done by the late Derrick Guyler.

As would I (though I spelled his Christian name incorrectly in another
post). The correct rendition is: Deryck Guyler.
A single-term Google (UK) search under either name returns his name within
the top ten hits (the very top in the case of "Guyler").
Last Of The Summer Wine. Full of actors who everyone thought was dead.

And IIRC it was Brian Wilde (Foggy Dewhurst in LOTSW) who did the
voiceover.
