You are now entering Ad Space, a realm of commercials, brought before us so we might examine how they work, and discuss why we both love and hate them so. So it is written …

The Product:
Prime computers

The Promotions:

The Pitch:
Only Prime computers can handle reversing the polarity of the neutron flow.

I couldn’t help noticing that a fair few folks here on the ol’ Avocado are Doctor Who fans. So I figured you might be just the right lot to appreciate this ad where the Fourth Doctor and the Second Romana goof around with a new computer.

The scripts for these commercials are decently funny, the fact that an early 80’s computer is treated as the peak of technology by ultra-advanced aliens is (in hindsight) very amusing, it’s got Tom Baker and Lalla Ward bringing the same charm they always brought to these characters, and for anyone who’s a Doctor/Romana shipper, this is as close to canon as your One True Pairing is gonna get.

(And before anyone complains about the commercial referring to the Doctor as “Doctor Who”, this was back in the 70’s/80’s, when the character was officially billed by that name every week in the credits.)

Just some fun little commercials that I think any Who fan can enjoy.
