Re: Guess the commercial
 

No-one has it yet. No they are not still going and probably haven't been for 40 years but the 'commercial jingle' was very well known in the late 50's. I'll give you this one and set another from the same period.

QCS, QCS, here's the meaning of QCS,
For Quick and Cheerful Services,
It's your REGENT STATION, QCS!

OK here's the new one. You lot have until tomorrow morning, if you don't get it by then I'll reveal all and try a more up to date one. Maybe I'm the oldest person around here and expecting too much!

This one was partly sung and partly spoken. The singing was done by a female out of sight, whilst an attractive young lady in a sailor suit (short, shorts) held up the product and did the talking. As before, each dash represents a letter.

Here we go:

Sung:

You'll be thrilled with ------ ----,
You'll be thrilled with ------ ----,
You'll be thrilled with ------ ----,

Spoken: (by aforementioned attractive young lady in sailor suit wearing short shorts, phwaaaaar);)

"Yes, you'll be thrilled with ------ ----, they're delicious, and only a shilling a tin."

Sung:

------ ---- are super.

Any ideas?

Oh, the man gets ever so close! OK, think of a similar product to sardines and where they could come from. Look at the words and think of a rhyme for thrilled. You should get it now Doug.

Yes, you'll be thrilled with Pilchards, they're delicious, and only a shilling a tin."

First word is 6 letters, next is 4......something fish?

Re: Guess the commercial
 

This isn't the limerick thread Doug!

OK the six is a country. The four is the type of fish in the tin. Think small herring. Bloody hell, if I say any more I might as well just spell it out! This is certainly a UK advert, I had never set foot in America when this was playing.
