--
While Mr Kipling ran its sedate, well-mannered commercials for decades, boringly recounting scenes not seen in normal households for centuries, Lyons decided that a more modern approach was required. The basic theme of the ‘Naughty… but Nice’ campaign was that, yeah, the cakes might have loads of sugar and cream in them that may be bad for your figure, but who cared when they tasted as good as this? This devilish assertion was backed up by a roster of celebs, from Les Dawson in drag to Barbara Windsor, via Kenneth Williams in, improbably enough, Dracula mode. (‘Ere! The trouble with these midnight snacks is you get crumbs all over the bed!’) The slogan is said to be the creation of Salman Rushdie, trying to raise a few bob to write novels by working as a copywriter. Perhaps if he’d stuck to writing about cream cakes then he wouldn’t have had so much hassle in later years. In fact Rushdie is not alone in taking the commercial shilling over the years – legendary sports commentator Murray Walker may have been well-known for his garbled English, but in a previous career he’d informed the nation that Opal Fruits were ‘made to make your mouth water’.

What have the BBC Ever Done For John Cleese?

John Cleese plunders a scene from Monty Python's Life Of Brian to plug the delights of the BBC TV licence. Although the BBC licence fee is certainly a contentious issue, I’m sure we can all agree that this advertisement is nonetheless very clever.

An excellent and forgotten old advert for the BBC TV Licence starring John Cleese doing a remake of his "What have the Romans Ever Done For Us" routine, and featuring a few familiar faces in the pub.

Benny Hill Commercials and Adverts

Benny Hill Commercials and Adverts

Benny Hill appeared in many adverts over the years, here are just a few of them.

The first is Benny Hill in a Schweppes Bitter Lemon Advert (1960), it also stars British Comedy superstar Patricia Hayes.
Perhaps the greatest compliment that can be paid to the diminutuve, warm-natured character actress Patricia Hayes is that so many top comedians such as Arthur Askey , Tony Hancock , Arthur Haynes , Benny Hill and Frankie Howerd chose to work with her. 





Next is Benny Hill in a Kaiser Beer advert from the early 80s. It's a Foreign Commercial for Beer.
 The Kaiser Bräu in Neuhaus an der Pegnitz is the largest brewery in the district of Nürnberger Land, Bavaria, Germany.

Benny Hill in Unigate Milkman Advert (1978) 'Ere, I've just been Humphrey'd! Benny appears as 'Ernie' in a Commercial advertising
