1983 - Prestige advert with Peter Davison

Forget Dr Who, All Creatures & Sink or Swim - this is what Peter Davison was REALLY famous for in the early 80s. Follow us on twitter @thetvmuseum.

the lifetime saucepan that lasts 10 years. That's pretty grim

Thats why advertising is aimed at assholes....

[@kasterborous1701]

I misread that as "All Creatures Sink or Swim" and wondered what fantastic crossover concepts I'd missed out on.

I wanted to use this advert in my 1993 documentary The Making of The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy (now an extra on the BBC series DVD). I was asked not to use it by Sandra Dickinson who claimed (at the time) that she and her than husband Peter had never been paid for the commercial!

[@Chuixupu]

That sucks that he never got paid!

[@evonneokafor]

Kevin Jon Davies Maybe the BBC had a say on that

Apple Watch leaked form 1983.

[@MondySpartan]

Lacking the video calling feature of course (yet)

[@evonneokafor]

Thomas Fluskey Almost right

[@evonneokafor]

I was confused when this ad was around as I thought what the hell the Doctor flogging saucepans. I bet the BBC was not pleased

[@jamesmitchell8922]

A hint why Peter didn't continue as The Doctor.
