The 1980s is often considered the golden age of British advertising, but with the dawn of the "creative", high budgets and polished direction also came some ridiculously bloated metaphorical collisions, such as this cross-pollination of Gulliver's Travels with the Borrowers and Michael Jayston sounding absolutely furious about something. It punches you in the face with how great Midland Bank is, but it doesn't really make you want to open an account there.

  • The narrative grabs you its better than those sainsbury adverts having some geordie scrubber or taffy idiot trying to endorse a supermarket that wouldn't accept them, Michael; jayston should be the v/o for those kind of adverts :-)

  • still - good old Michael J! :-)

  • Good god!

  • What the fuck?

  • This dates from 1986, definitely a by-product of Yuppiedom.
