[QUOTE="Carrie Fairchild, post: 371391, member: 673"] This popped up as a suggestion on YouTube and inspired me to start this thread. [MEDIA=youtube]cGV5pBloikI[/MEDIA] Given its length, I’m presuming it was used to fill full ad breaks during less lucrative timeslots on Channel 5 but it is quite different for that era. Since then, soaps have started producing more theatrical promos ([I]EE[/I] & [I]ED[/I] in particular). Anyway, here’s a few more that stand out for me - Bet’s return to [I]Corrie[/I] (unfortunately the promo is about as dramatic as her brief return got) and an unusual fourth wall breaking one from the dying days of [I]Brookside[/I]. Please post your favourites as it’s always interesting (to me) to see when a show gets creative with its promotion. [MEDIA=youtube]NSPxYIoTX4w[/MEDIA] [MEDIA=youtube]PKlNLM3v9fU[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
