Fast Forward parody of a Shell commercial from the early 90's. The original Shell commercial was a tribute to John Sturges' classic film, The Great Escape.
Fast Forward was an Australian commercial television sketch comedy show that ran for 75 episodes from 12 April 1989 to 26 November 1992.
Great alt. ending to the 'Great Escape' Shell ad. BTW, if you could do an updated version, what year shall it be in and can we use the slogan at the end like the 'There is more than one kind of shell' one?

Two points:
* Was part of that shot at Montsalvat? The refuelling scene looked like it was shot in one of the sculpturers' workshops.
* Now we know how Magda landed her part in 'The Producers'.

I found and have posted the original ad this is based on. Do a search for: Shell "Great Escape" ad - Steve McQueen lookalike

I remember exactly two things from Fast Forward: this, and the SBS lady doing a cracker commercial.
(And at the time, I didn't know that SBS was even a real network.)
