Pimms advert

[Prudie]

What TV theme is being used for the latest Pimms ad, something from 70s or 80s like A Team (but not).

Hi Prudie - is that the ad with the green man & the pink dog (amongst other colours)?

[Prudie]

hi lardy, yes it is. Sure I know the music from the past

[lardhelmet]

Think it's the tune they used in The New Avengers, but somebody more knowledgeable on here might tell me that's wrong Prudie

[Mojo-Jo-Jo]

It's the New Avengers theme isn't it?

Think I would agree with Lardhelmet. If it's not the New Avengers theme, it's been made to sound very like it.

Is it me, though, or is it supposed to be a very camp-looking ad, especially when Mr Mint lands with his parachute and shrugs it off as he crosses the road?

I think it's meant to be cheesy, camp and very 80s saxy, which is a shame cos I like Pimms (especially the way Mr Helmet makes it) and do they really dye that poor dog?

[Prudie]

Well done you lot, I've checked and it is the the new avengers theme. The whole series of those ads is very camp.

I used to have a hairdo like Purdey - my Mum would put a pudding basin on my head & cut round the edge
