Hamlet cigars photo booth commercial

One of the funniest commercials ever made, back in the days when it was legal to advertise tobacco on TV. They used Jaques Loussier playing Bach's 'Air on a G String' as the theme music for the campaign over the decade or so that it ran. Hamlet commercials were always a highlight on any reel we would see of British commercials at the time.

@Toops144 - nope, Baldy Man. Though both characters were played by the same actor.

In fact, this advert is nearly identical to a sketch in the first series of "Naked Video" (1986), in which Gregor Fisher (as the Baldy Man) went into a photo booth, and things kept going wrong.
