Palitoy AF TV ads?

I recently discovered three Palitoy Star Wars adverts, that most collectors haven't seen since they were originally broadcast.
I have vague recollections of Saturday mornings in 1983 watching the dire 'Number 73' and seeing the odd AF commercial... so I'm wondering what AF ads are 'out there' for me to find???
I know six or seven Action Man ads are about for sale on eBay ...BUT has anyone seen any of the Palitoy 'Toy Fair' tapes?
= They would be AMAZING to see!!!

Basically, there are later examples than that auction... that feature Palitoy AF and SW toys!
Has anyone got access to those recordings?

There are two rumoured to exist, one with a News Bulletin style approach, and one with the 2nd generation of Shadow toys. I remember the camera zooming in on Skip atop the Command Centre. There may well be more, but no-one has them as far as I know.

They certainly exsist, as I vaguely recall what they were like!
However, tracking down old recordings of them now will be the difficult part!!!

I seen to remember an advert featuring baron ironblood standing on a podium addressing his red shadow army.
It would be great to see those adverts again.

I was using one of these download programmes and just out of curiosity typed in action force and it appeared. excellent. it's about 30 seconds longs and really cheesy.
TV Ad!
