There were quite a few adverts that had Tommy Cooper's "voice" over the years. One for Lego was one example. It was just an impressionist doing the voice along with the others, although when Cooper was still with us, he would have got paid for the advert as well! Not surprising as Cooper was voted as one of the most impersonated people a few years earlier!
@Applemask Also, that Cowes advert made me feel like I was watching Jam for a second. Apropos of nothing, a shot of a cow in a yacht.

That Aller-ese Plus advert used to appear in nearly every TV-am ad break in 1988.

Five Alive is still available in little cartons as well as 1 litre cartons. I used to eat Milkybar. Great adverts, though.

- Tommy Cooper was only five years dead, Jesus.
- That DADWL PIF still creeps me out. You don't get many things explicitly set in the town where I live.

You can, actually.

I always used to have Five Alive in my school lunchbox, though I was not cool enough to possess a radio lunchbox! Can you still get Five Alive?
Also I'm pretty sure I had one of those Kelloggs vans!

Radio lunchbox? Philip Schofield voices that ad.
