Was the ad shown all over the UK
I thought it was just up north.
Keep looking I have got to see this again.

I forgot about this for a while, but will try again.
Does anyone know of any search engines that might be best for tracking this one down ?

Yup that's him but the video was full of minors (Don't post anything with images of minors; or quote them) Here are the screen caps
I remember there being a bit more of a dance going on in his tights but it's finally been found.

Youtube link with minors removed.

Thanks again Qk=23
This is so old now I think the only way to retrieve it is if someone has it lurking in an old VHS video tape......
but it's a great find, and a lead.

Reviving this in the hope that it can still be found.
:rolleyes:
re the above posts; I didn't watch the whole YouTube clip but noticed an old recording of Arthur Scargill addressing the miners, during the miners strikes in the 1980's when Margaret Thatcher was Prime Minister, and thought there'd been a misunderstanding based on a mis-spelling.

Ok, to bring this thread back to life, after 4 years......

My Dad says he remembers these adverts very well. They were for a company called William's (obviously). They ran in the early to mid 70's.
At one point out of a sense of irony, they replaced the guy in tights with Charles Hawtrey! This might help trace the advert?

Thank you for the additional information.... I didn't know about the Charles Hawtrey version.

I think it's one of those TV adds that has been relegated to the archives.....
and may appear one day on one of those compilations ie; 'Top 20 Rude TV adds of all time...."
It's the kind of thing 'Eurotrash' would have featured in it's day....

One day it will come to light.

I've been searching for this add to show to the partner who is few years younger than myself, think it was 1975 - 76 that it was shown, I remember watching it for the first time with my mother and my brothers, a man running up to the camera in some kind of Boy Wonder suit, with his privates swinging from side to side, saying "As you walk through the door your pounds is worth more at Williams where else" we were falling about the place with tears streaming down our faces, I remember my mum sitting there with a straight face asking what was the joke, "you see my mum new nothing of these things" and how stupid were we.

I'm searching for it too. As is a friend of mine. One day I hope it will surface. Would be great to see it.

Great....
I'd forgotten about this thread but just like that ad - once seen, never forgotten.

I was hoping someone might have copied onto old VHS tape (by accident or on purpose perhaps)
Now that these can be digitised.

Considering the size of that guys massive swinging package, I have a feeling it could've been removed from any archives.....
If it hasn't, I'm sure one day in the future it'll appear in something like
Top 10 Rudest / Sexiest Ads of all time.
