There's a great long piece in the Guardian about the brilliant Leonard Rossiter. Links include this one, to his fine work with Joan Collins (dir. Lindsay Anderson). God, adverts used to be FUNNY. We loved these, we old fools. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wk31...

“We also do the left one.”

Directed, I believe, by Alan Parker and Hugh Hudson, not Lindsay Anderson. But still glorious.

Now all we get is sad animals, low cost cremation and gambling made on a fraction of a Cinazo ad budget.

They were so good. And properly funny.

I remember seeing that Rossiter referred to Collins as, "The Prop" in these

Funny adverts. There’s a ChatPoint™ that’d make a good bit in a podcast or something.
