1990 - Parker's Day Off - Swinton Insurance ad

Produced and Directed by Gerry Anderson
This was made as an advert for Swinton Insurance. It starred the original puppet model of Parker ( piloting Thunderbird 2! ) and featured some innovative driving by Lady Penelope in FAB1, both of which were rebuilt specially for the story.

Lady penelope must have watched this. That's why there's one dislike.

This insurance company is a joke.. I strongly advise no one to use these people. They 'CLAW' Money out your bank account. I was told it would cost me £50 to cancel my policy when i signed up. when i canceled they demanded £275 which i refused to pay. They then helped themselves from my bank account and took the £275 without my authorisation.

There was a follow up advert - only 10 seconds this time - with Fab 1 hanging off the edge of a cliff - and Lady P being advised to phone her insurance company.
