Plenty of ads and promos from the end of multiple consecutive (I think) days of GMTV, all from the same tape, edited together into one video for your enjoyment. Judging by which films are being promoted during the breaks, these must have been recorded during the summer holidays of 2000 - Stuart Little and Viva Rock Vegas were both released in July of that year, and The Road to El Dorado at the beginning of August.

One that caught my eye was the Frosted and Coco Shreddies ad, which I think was clearly aping the distinctive style of the Cartoon Network of that era. I'm not sure I like the intimation, but I do like the animation. Note also the Bond-style Captain Birdseye reinvention, which I absolutely don't approve of, plus how big Tesco were going in the online home delivery shopping service. All it took was another two decades and a global pandemic for it to catch on.

Oh, and stay tuned right until the end for the briefest of brief glimpses of Diggit.

Grateful thanks to @David315842 for sending me this tape.
