83.Flash (2): 1960s
Voiceover: Here in his home, Woburn Abbey, is His Grace, the Duke of Bedford.
The Duke: Hello … we all enjoy having visitors and I have up to 40,000 a week! This, and being open every day of the year, gives me a big cleaning problem … so I’m very keen to see how Flash compares with washing powder in this floor-cleaning demonstration.
Voiceover: The Duke is watching two of the Abbey cleaners who have begun the test. One’s using Flash … the other an ordinary washing powder. On the washing powder side progress is slow … and all those suds will have to be rinsed off and wiped dry. But on the Flash side she just squeezes her mop very thoroughly and goes once over. Flash cleans fast with no rinsing, no wiping dry! Flash is well ahead now … and yes, the Flash side’s finished! Clean in half the time!
The Duke: Well that’s certainly showed how Flash saves work and time! After that impressive result I should say that it’s the best cleaner for any home!
Voiceover: For all those big cleaning jobs about the house … Flash cuts cleaning time in half!
Flash cuts cleaning time in half.84.Oxydol

Lady: Call me Jenny. Free on Saturday as well?
Babysitter: Oh I’m free every night — with this.
Lady: What’s the problem? Dandruff? [Babysitter nods.] I’ve got something new for that — Head & Shoulders.
Babysitter: Head & Shoulders? Oh, a shampoo. The ones I’ve tried never seem to do anything for my dandruff.
Lady: This is a new one and it worked for me. Just use it regularly. Do try it.
Babysitter: Smells nice, great lather — great if it worked.
Lady: You look nice tonight — new sweater?
Babysitter: New hair, more like. I could never risk black before. Your Head & Shoulders really did work. So tonight’s for free.

Trifle — cornerstone of the British Empire! When the people stopped bothering to make trifle, the Empire started to crumble … coincidence perhaps. But we at Birds Eye felt duty-bound to bring back the trifle. It’s a small beginning, but from little acorns mighty oaks do grow! Birds Eye trifle!
