Butlins beats those winter blues.
Cheer up and chill out: you can beat those winter blues with off-peak hols at Butlins. The Minehead, Clacton and Bognor Regis camps, all open off-season, get enthusiastic promotion in this snappy cinema ad.
Cinema advertising film for Butlin's holiday camps at Minehead, Clacton and
Bognor Regis open over the winter. Using a lot of the same "People at
Butlin's" footage the soundtrack advertises the variety of indoor activities
available including swimming, games, dancing and shows. Open for weekends and
Christmas too, and the address is given.
Throughout the 20th century, screen advertising helped transform the car from luxury conveyance for the wealthy to essential commodity, 'hand-built by robots'. It saw out the last days of steam, and made 'the age of the train'. And it presented travel - at home or abroad - as a route to a better life.
