It has taken me some time to find this, but at Christmas 2003, this ad was playing on British TV every day:-

Thanks! Funny!

 

I've never seen that!

[stromberg]

Next time just ask. This has been sitting on one of my hard drives for years

[glidrose]

"We appear to have finished all the champagne."
 
What movie is that from? (The tail bit with a much younger RM, if you know not to what I refer.)
 
UPDATE: From "Gold", apparently.

FURTHER UPDATE: Yes, it's from "Gold". One of the creative directors says, "The film we used as a clip on TV was 'Gold' - which apparently Roger Moore owns. We recorded the line 'I think we've run out of champagne' on the day with Rog, and put it over the clip, so you think it's a Bond movie without it actually being a Bond movie - if you get what I mean."

FURTHER, FURTHER UPDATE: Timothy Dalton will not be doing Bond 17.

Good to see that again!

That's great to see again. I would love to see the advert of Desmond Llewellyn as Q in (I think) a Ford car ad in the UK. This was done a couple of years before GE and was a great parody of the Q character.

Oh dear, that was hilarious.... Can't believe I missed that.

 

Not sure there is anyone else in the world that could have got away with that.  Superb.

CBn's own time machine takes you back to the days when this was brand new:

Christ - that thread even proves that I Did see it after all!

 

And I had earlier asked in the same thread, but edited out, a question as to what the film was - apparently I have seen that too.  Must admit I thought Gold was one of the few Moore films I hadn't seen.

 

My future really does not look too bright, to be sure...

[Royal Dalton]

There were actually two of those adverts.

 

In the second one, Prunella Scales is feeding Roger Moore chocolates in front of the fire. 

 

Then they clink vodka glasses, and Prunella, with a Russian accent, says: "Na zdorovie!" 

 

Roger responds with: "Bottoms up!" And she slaps him round the face.
