118-118..who you gonna call? Ghostbusters.

[Danny]

Was watching the advert wth Ray Parker Jnr and started thinking 'bout the original 'theme from Ghostbusters' video shown on TOTP so many times in the 80's

At the end of it there a lot of 'celebs of the day' who shout out "Ghostbusters! " every other line

I remember a couple were Columbo and Danny DeVito

Anyone remember the others?

There was the guy who played norm in cheers (NORM!) and the mother from Home Alone, sorry dont know their proper names!
I love how in the 118 ad, insteadof saying "i aint afraid of no ghosts" it says "i aint afraid of no goats"! Haha.

I would like to apologize Kazboot! You are right...the lady at 1.32 is Irene Cara. (That was my stupid mistake cause' I didn't watch the whole video the first time. Sorry!

And Rossobantam: girl at 2:33 is Melissa Gilbert. She use to play Laura Ingalls on Little House on The Prairie

and Teri Garr played in Close Encounters of The Third Kind and Mr. Mom two of my favs!

I am stumped on the dreadlock guy
