Two ads on TV at the moment feature characters from Gerry Anderson’s classic 1960’s “supermarionation” TV series, Thunderbirds…
This first one, for Specsavers, features Virgil wearing specs that automatically adjust to sunlight, helping him to evade capture more easily…
…while this one has Brains performing an elaborate and impressive dance to Snap’s classic track “Rhythm is a Dancer” to sell energy drink “Drench”…
These aren’t the first ads to feature Thunderbirds, mind you… there’s Thunderbird 1 interrupting a pleasant swim, the time when Virgil was just ‘having a break’, and that time when Lady Penelope did her own driving to name but a few…
What’s next? Parker selling Pens? Oh, wait a sec…
