Very controversial at the time as Alan Parker was not well known and spent a lot of money also made it 60 seconds long were as normal adds in those days were 20 seconds, He then made Midnight Express the rest is history !!

Thank you for this! I've been trying to track down this, my all time favourite TV commercial, for years. Does Graham K Furness do the voice over? I always thought it to be Victor Borge. Any idea when it was aired, 70's/80's? All very non PC of course, though I recalled Caesar (out water skiing this morning!) as saying thircles rather than circles. Wrongly it would seem, so perhaps not quite so non PC ;-)

@agkfz OK Graham, got it now as pennies finally obey the law of gravity. A heroic performance indeed if I may say so! Having read Alan Parker's Wikki entry I see the production was in 1979. In those days some of the best UK TV was to be found in the commercials IMHO. This though was exceptionally creative, very expensive I suspect, and a lot of fun making no doubt. In short a classic and at last making its YouTube debut. Now, strike up the band!
