Madeley's Furniture Ads In Devon
I watched Madeley's ads on TV every year in Devon, but haven't been able to find any references online and wondering if anyone else remembers them from about the 70s-80s, and whether the owner who presented them all was connected with Richard Madeley as I can't remember either. It was on Westward and the company who took over after them.

If I remember, the Madeley's stores were owned by a footballer in the 70's called Paul Madeley.

Thanks everyone, I'd asked someone I know in Devon if she remembered them and she didn't, and I remember the football connection now. Oddly Wiki says he worked for the family sports shop
"After retiring Madeley set invested a shop in Leeds selling sports goods and worked for his family's DIY business"
but they did have people as well as him shouting Madeley's from what I remember, but glad to have revived a few memories. Now I've got his name I should be able to find an official reference.

For some reason TSW showed a Madeley's DIY ad in 1986 (I think the others went on to the 80s as well), but nothing for furniture. Here's the reference http:// www.swf ta.org. uk/c69c 522d793 7/Recor d/?orig in=unio nsearch &co ntent_i d=swfta 238251 but no pictures.
