Barratt

[Bazile]

''Is that a police helicopter ?''

''No it's Barratts''


Where is that dialogue from ?

[Tilly2]

There used to be an advert for Barratts House builders where they flew over the houses in a helicopter and a man, in a suit, jumped out when it landed

[rockyracoon]

Wasn't it mentioned in Only Fools and Horses?

[jourdain2]

There was an advert where a well-known actor - blond, blue-eyed, square-jawed type flew over a Barratt development. Early 70's? Probably refers to that. Wish I could remember his name.

[Peter Pedant]

he was in a few soaps
plane makers and 'compact' spring to mind

looks like or looked like the fair haired builder in Emmerdale. you know like Eric Chitteris looks like one of the kids in Please Sir ! with sidney poitier ( because er he was )

Jourdain, I think he had black hair.

[Mamyalynne]

You're not thinking of the Milk Tray man Tilly?

[jourdain2]

Thank you! Patrick Allen and you are quite right, Tilly - not a blond.

[Tilly2]

Maybe I was thinking of the Milk Tray man, Mamya.

How did this turn into a question about the bloke in the Barratt ad?

[Tilly2]

Isn't that where the dialogue was from, Bazile? The Barratt ad?

[B00]

no, lol, Baz was asking where the phrase he mentioned was in a TV show.

think Rocky's right with Only Fools & Horses.
