Lockdown Quiz - British ads of the 1970s (part 1)

Hello pod-people. This week we’re straying from our usual format to bring you something a little bit different.

After 10 months without any community COVID infections we got a live one here in Western Australia and last Sunday the state went into a 5-day lockdown.

So what did we do? Just like every other right-minded West Australian we jogged straight down to the bottle shop for some Daddy’s Little Helper then sparked up a quiz about British advertising in the 70s.

If it’s drama you’re after from your podcasts then you’re going to thrill at the competitive back and forth of this episode as myself, Steve Cooke and my co-host award-winning advertising creative and TV ad director Tony Williams, the world’s most competitive man, fight for the title of ‘Bloke who knows the most about dodgy British ads from the 70s’.

Just how competitive is Tones? Well he’s so competitive that he can make getting a front row seat for the school play look like an Olympic event; a man so competitive that he spent three years in training for the kindy parents egg and spoon race.

For our Australian listeners I think we can safely describe the content and execution of the quiz as shonky. For our non-Australian listener then give it a go and you’ll find out what shonky means.

This is part one of the quiz and if you think you know who David Dundas is and who drove to Luton Airport in a Hillman Imp before being wafted to paradise then you’re in for a right old treat.
