Colour television advertisement for Guinness in which people enjoy a band performance and various groups of friends socialise over drinks. A sun sets behind a pint of Guinness; music begins (with lyrics) ‘It’s when the band starts playing and the people gather round, or when a friend reminds you what is really going down’. A music group perform on stage in a round concert hall. A woman and a man show off the matching Guinness t-shirts they have bought in a market; the couple enter a pub. A man plays a professional chess match against a robot; the robot’s head begins to smoke in response to a chess move. Two people abseil down a cliff face. A man on a ladder pastes a Guinness poster to a billboard. A woman opens a window in the billboard and waves to the man. The sun sets behind the pint of Guinness; people drink pints of Guinness in a pub. A woman and a man relax on a ‘beach’, revealed to be a photographer’s studio set; the photographer drinks a pint of Guinness. A hovercraft moves across the sea; sunbathers on a beach welcome the occupants of the beached hovercraft. The group on stage continues to perform. Close-up of the Guinness pint glass with sun behind it as caption and lyrics say ‘..just between friends’.
