Egg Marketing Board: Tony Hancock (Carpenter)

Who needs a half hour? This one-minute sitcom features the much-loved comedian on top form.

Hancock’s half hour had passed, but it wasn’t too late to resurrect the format for this series of egg adverts. The clever script excuses the sales message by highlighting it explicitly, putting a smile on the face of Hancock, his breakfast plate and audiences past and present. Cracking stuff.
