But what if the flames are properly dressed, maybe in a nice suit?

This used to scare me when I was a kid. It was the guy shouting 'no'.
-
I remember when I was 7 this ad scared me to death, whenever it came on i'd jump and tell my Mum or Dad to change the channel, It was the "NO" that terrified me
-
HAHAHAHA I love this. Brian's got all the bases covered - opens the window, rings the emergency number, turns off the gas and tells his wife not to use a switch... but he starts lighting up a fag, looks at it and then goes "OH WAIT, THERE'S A GAS LEAK!!"
-
Just a little amount of gas smells like death, surely they'd not even enter before airing the place out for a few minutes.
-
I always wondered as a kid,if she pressed the switch and they got blown up!

@theweddingsinger1970 I definitely made me feel that way as well as I had no understanding of why it scared me.

I just about remember this advert when I was 6 or 7, depending on when in 1989 it was shown. Gavin Richards (the Cillit Bang Barry Scott lookalikein the advert LOL) played the Italian soldier in 'Allo 'Allo and played Terry Raymond in EastEnders around the mid 90's to 2000.
The beginning dialogue I remember as well as the wife saying that she can smell gas and him shouting the obvious line, "NO!". Hehehe.
