That British Gas advert was the first one i saw on TV from an early age. I always remember that music and ident at the end aswell. This website is "AWESOME"!
I've been trying to find a copy of this advert for ages. Shame about the low quality - does anyone out there have a higher resolution recording of this?
It's not bad - but I liked seeing the rings she wore on her right hand when she did the thumb-click thing. It's hard to make those out clearly in this video. If anyone has a clear pic, please post.
I remember this advert for British Gas with the slogan 'Don't you just love being in control'. It spawned a series of ads of famous faces including Bob Hoskins.
Is that Patricia Hodge? Such fun.

I used to to the "don't you just love being in control bit as a kid." Ahh, the wonders of deodorant...

This was part of a series..."Don't you just love being in control." I wonder if there are any others floating about...?
The oven and hob are "Stoves" BTW...can tell by the positioning of the nobs on the hob and the lozenge-type logo on the oven panel ;-)

The ident at the end of these British Gas early 90's ad's, always gave me nightmares. I blame it on the BGM.

Bob Hoskins was with BT, I can't recall him being a spoksman for British Gas.

'after seeing another vid on YouTube'. Woops you were right. He was in a British Gas commercial, which uses the same en slogan and ending.
