Levis Launderette - Nick Kamen tribute Classic Ads From Simpler Times

I’m afraid you’re going to have to indulge us in another BBH-John Hegarty fan club swoon type of thing this week. We’d had decided to give BBH a bit of a swerve for a while but recent events made a review of this ad pertinent so let's put away the wobbly lips and jog on shall we?
Buy a ticket on this week’s fun bus and you’ll be part of the discussion about what Levis want in their ads where we discover that unsurprisingly its America and a**e shots in that order.
Tones mines a rich vein of personal experience to talk about casting bum doubles before revealing a hitherto undiscovered ability to be discreet and there’s a bit of chit-chat about rodent eating as a PR strategy.
It's 1985 and Tony’s watching Grange Hill, desperately trying to make sure he doesn’t catch girl germs and BMXing with his mates… whilst I’m discovering fashion and loose underwear in-between hangovers.
More importantly Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher are installing nuclear weapons in Berkshire and this forces the agency of the decade to hire a pretty boy, take him back to the 1960s and then force him to act in a 60 second soft core porn movie for teenage girls…in the process creating an ad so successful that the client demanded that it was taken off air.
Have a listen as we review the only ad ever to feature as talent a man who turned down Kate Moss for that bird that worked with Terry Christian on The Word and have a loo at the ad here https://youtu.be/G1c-bfv2sds.
