Old TV advert

[RexT]

What was the advert that contained the words at the end " one day Thomas, one day "
The scene (middle ages?) was of a man sitting turning a roasting spit in front of a large open fire.
I often use the expression to indicate that something may happen in the future. Help would be good to put my mind at rest.
thanks

I can remember the advert. Thomas was played by the late,great Norman Rossington. Thomas replied with a "One day a man will land on the mine," for which the old man sneered at.

Brilliant, I had forgotten the bit about landing on the moon. Lets hope this helps someone remember what the advert was for. Many thanks

Fantastic, many thanks. Is there an archive of old adverts where I might be able to read a complete copy of the script? Better still is there a copy of the advert. I know it sounds daft but it's getting to me.
