Ad for Newspaper, possibly The Independent

[Philtaz]

Bit of a long shot this one.  Anyone remember the following ad, possibly up to ten years old?:

An old man is walking down a street, then the scene cuts to a skinhead/bovver boy running towards him, Doc Marten boots and bomber jacket, a look of determination on his face.  The camera cuts back and two to each in turn as they near each other, then the skinhead flies headlong at the old gent.

He wraps his arms around him and just in the nick of time pushes him out of the path of some falling masonry/scaffolding?

Anyone confirm the ad was for a newspaper and where I might possibly be able to download it?

Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions.

I remember the ad, and I'm only 20 so it must've been showing fairly recently (definatly within the last 10 years). I remember my dad commenting on it at the time, something about not tarring people with the same brush. I don't think its for the independent, but trying to remember will pass time in a lecture tomorrow. I'll get back to you. When you find the name etc, might be able to download it from WinMX, Kazaa, or another music/video downloader. Not very helpful, but its a start!

It was for the Guardian.

The original is for The Guardian, a woman gets pushed and not a man. The idea being, we i.e. Guardian look at all angles.

Thanks for the help but neither link appears to be working.  At least now I know it's for the Guardian I can look for it via Google, Altavista etc.

Cheers

Cheers Fern57, much appreciated.  BTW everyone, Google pages verified the ad as being broadcast in 1986!

Maybe you saw it being repeated?  I was also surprised at the date, could've swore it was in the last 10 years!
