The ad in 47th place in the greatest ever TV commercials programme is a Mates condom ad from 1987 called the Chemist Shop. It features a young man trying to pluck up the courage to ask the attractive lady assistant for a packet of condoms.

Who is the actress playing the assistant? She is a very familiar face and went on to become quite well known but she is very young in the ad with short hair and a Geordie accent (actually that may be her normal voice).

But what's her name?? it's driving me mad because she's famous now..

Well done, Matron, of course it was the lovely Gina! No wonder she was so familiar... Mind you, I assumed she was very young in the ad when actually she was already 26.

Brilliant. Sorted.
