Get your type drums, Letraset, technical pens, border tape rolls and waxer ready, ITV is seeking creatives for a reality TV show, one that recreates a 1970s ad agency where the contestants will work on the iconic Raleigh Chopper bike brand. In the office, no mobile phones, computers or even the use of bike messengers are allowed. Are you in London and do you think you are ad man enough?
Assuming they have jobs, participants must have full consent from their ad agency to be away for two weeks in July when the show will be shot. Anyone interested in applying should email hannah.beal@granadamedia.com. Via Caff who spotted it at Mediabulletin

I have a feeling this was way before my time - can someone explain to me what "type drums" are?

PermalinkType drums? This was back in photo type days - a drum you'd put the sheet around, or something. I don't even know.
A guy in our office would suit this perfectly, he keeps going on about the good old days and still doesn't understand basic web skills, all the while being a master at rubdown and a loud hippie personality to match. He's quite funny. Shame we aren't in London. Do they import?

Permalinkhehe, I don't think so - shame else I'd try out. My first real bike was a Raleigh, I could be the idiot suffering extreme computer withdrawel symptoms [though I'm trained in wax and paste] constantly cutting my fingers with a x-acto and reminiscing about my purple Raleigh at all times.
