★★★★★ · Tossing the Hoover · SirJekyllAppliance · 2007-10-18

Ah yes, the generic name for the Vac, 'Hoover'. I remember fondly the little globe-shaped model I grew up with as featured in this clippette. Girly-pink and white if I recall... or maybe it was boy blue??? The memory plays tricks! Loved the new sport of Hoover-Tossing! How come we never invented that to pass the time in the summer holidays? Btw, I'm sure they spliced in a clip from Doctor Who and the Flailing Death...

★★ · Just when it was getting interesting... · Spuzz · 2003-10-13

This overview of the Hoover company is pretty standard, has some brief history then mainly focuses on it's overseas operations. It was a really long haul, ut luckily in the second part, things started getting interesting with the curious lab tests they were doing. (Love the robot arms). But before we could explore that further, the film ends at that point :(
