Work Advent Calendar 2018 Day 9: Woolworths advert, 1981

You can do longform festive advertising that isn't "heartwarming" in the slightest. We wish some companies would. We've featured nearly all of Woolies' once traditional big rollouts before on this blog - 1977, 1978, 1979 (yes, we know we got the year wrong first time), 1980 (first one in the second video), 1982, 1983 - so let's fill that gap with reliable Anita Harris, Bill Oddie, Tim Brooke-Taylor, Windsor Davies, Don Estelle, an amusingly bass-voiced Di-alike, Chinese acrobats and Cossack dancers. Were Windsor Davies and Joe Brown busy?
