The date of the advertising campaign has been changed in this article from 1977 to 1980. References in the article indicate that this dates from 1977, and other sources indicate so, such as this obituary:
McVeigh, Tracy (29 October 2011). "Jimmy Savile, eccentric king of children's TV, dies aged 84". The Observer. Retrieved 17 October 2019.. In the 2012 BBC Four documentary The Age of the Train, the TV adverts quite clearly predate the election of Margaret Thatcher. Many sources state that the campaign was "popular in the 1980s" but 1977 seems to be the actual launch date - unless there are sources to indicate otherwise?
