They were so revolutionary for the DIY market which up until then had been 'stack it high and sell it cheap' price based. We shot the Ads at Pinewood over from the 007 stage. Boase Massimi Pollit was the agency. There was a crisis soon after as the actor had done a car alarm ad in which he played a thief and hadn't disclosed it. They had to pay for a reshoot so Tom wasn't seen on TV as a Burglar!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13265393.post-19230081190998654902009-11-07T20:05:12.462-01:002009-11-07T20:05:12.462-01:00Lovely ad and I adored the singer's voice.
