From my VHS collection, some mid-1990s Australian commercial breaks. Some of the ads are good, some of them are very bad. A mix of "local" and "international" products & services. Also some TV/film promos. I hope someone finds these interesting.
Taped from a 19 February 1995 broadcast of "The Crying Game" on the Seven Network in Melbourne. The reason the commercial breaks are unusually long (over three and a half minutes!!) seems to be because Seven felt a smaller number of very long commercial breaks was preferable to having many short commercial breaks, as it would mean less interruptions to the movie. I've still got more commercial breaks from this broadcast to upload.
Taped from a 15 January 1996 episode of the horrible series "A Current Affair" on the Nine Network, again in Melbourne.
