The fabulous Terry Thomas appeared in this fun 1970 ad for Gilbey's Gin, along with a very young Rula Lenska.
Born the son of a Finchley butcher in 1911, Thomas often portrayed “disreputable members of the upper classes, especially cads, toffs and bounders.”

This 2007 ad, called ‘Fired’ for obvious reasons, was created by TBWA/Chiat/Day New York for Nextel Communications, an American mobile operator.

Looks dated but remember it was ‘only’ 18 years ago - the same year that the iPhone was introduced.
