Probibly one of the best adverts ever !! But a lesson to advertisers, it was so good people just dont remember the "Allied Dunbar" bit at the end!! They think its more a Boots pregnancy test kit add or something for condoms!!
Dear Colin Bennett, not only was he the caretaker for Tony Hart,, he also stared in the famous Yellow Pages - Hornby R186 Signal Box add!!
i have been after the grim reaper on a train advert for years, in fact ever since i got the internet and cant find it, it scared the crap outta me as a kid and i need to see it!!! if anyone has any clues as where to find it please let me know!!!
Glad to be of service.;) It's good to see the one set in an operating theatre is up here too. Now all we need is the ad with that bloke on a train meeting the Grim Reaper and we've pretty much got the set.:)

This is my all time favourite ad! - although I couldn't remember what it was advertising. So glad I've found it.

is that an actual song or just a jingle for the advert?? if so who did it?

The most famous version of the original song is by Nat "King" Cole, although I think this is a soundalike.

Where is the Grim Reaper train advert? That one is a classic.

Excellent....I've been looking for this for years as my wife is in it (Zoe). She lost her copy so I haven't seen it since it was on TV.
She's the one in the stripey top!
