Television commercial (30 seconds) promoting the Sainsbury's Discount '79 price promotion.

The commercial on the theme of 'Everyone's talking about Sainsbury's' shows a series of four very brief comedic sketches or vignettes on this theme of people talking about the promotion (some of these were also used in the Discount '78 campaign). The announcer and a graphic then show details of a discounted product.
