So I noticed! The reason why I put this ad up on youtube was because I remember seeing it on TV in 1985. The ad would run on random times, most predictably before Inspector Gadget or Come & Get It with Peter Russel Clarke.

There were also posters of the couple, that could be found around schools at the time. I do wonder if the Gruen Transfer pulled this upload for the show. I was surprised to see it on GT...

@AustralianAds I think they did pull this ad for the show mate, given the word "Amazing" cuts out at the end on both copies...

@cfbgoespop I only cut mine out, because Molly Meldrum comes barging in, straight after the ad... perhaps it was the same for them.
