It is one of the best ads for a long time eh ? Mr flump and I had fun guessing the time frame and subsequent happenings the ad moves through.

It's brilliant isn't it flump! Wonder how much money it cost to make it! I watched a bit of the making of it yesterday on some programme.

[richee]

I havent seen it

[Tizzi247]

Its great - I saw it for the first time last night, but only half of it as I wasn't paying attention (like you don't during ads). can't wait to see it properly!

[daniela31]

Apparently it cost 15 million pounds to make and used 750 extras.
I think it is absolutely marvelous! At least it is an advert that everyone instantly recognises, not like some of the obscure ones today when you say 'what was that all about then?'

^^ geek with all the boring facts

[richee]

just seen it on youtube and its AMAZING. All I can say is one word and that is WOW

[littleoldme]

I suppose it says something about the state of British TV when one of the best things on it is an ad for bread, but THAT, my friends, is advertising.

[Sachs]

Hi daniela, that's a lot of money! I imagine it will run and run & they'll get their moneys worth out of it though!

[littleoldme]

Eeeee, does tha remember t'days when we 'ad ter go down t'bakers, pick up loaf of 'Ovis, and take 122 bloody year to get t'bu99er back 'ome again? ;-)

[dustypuss]

[shylock73]

Ahhhh, such memories, ........of being bombed out and not much on t`plate, oh yes, I remember it well.........AND DON`T WISH TO NIGHT AFTER BL**DY NIGHT FOR GOD KNOWS HOW LONG IN THE FUTURE.

[daniela31]

Every night yes....but everyone is talking about it, that's the power of advertising.
And everyone knows instantly what the product is.
So I guess it works.

Exactly daniela, job done! xx
