Pretty sure this is meant to be Vyvyan because this ad was between series and is actually referenced in the 2nd series of The Young Ones by the postmas in 'Nasty'. After Vyvyan yells at him to shut up, the postman says "Little squirt! He does 1 advert and he thinks he's Dustin Hoffman." :)
Sarahw1971 He was the postman in the last episode ('Summer Holiday'). This was the "Master Thespian" type postman in 'Nasty' and he was played by Barry Stanton.
Pretty certain I never saw this advert which would probably have been broadcast between 1982 and 1983. Incidentally, the male punk at the end was Bruce Payne of 1993s passenger 57.
It was conceived and shot between series 1 and series 2 of The Young Ones. Hence the joke in Nasty: "Little squirt. He does one advert and he thinks he's Dustin Hoffman!"
my 11th grade english teacher had a tape of this. the tape was just this, nothing else. i saw it once and hadn't seen it in about 10 years. thanks for posting this!
I remember this one from YEARS ago, and always lamented the fact that I saw it more on the big screen than on TV (and even then, rarely) - so thanks for this upload!! :-D
Judging by the 'U' logo..about 1981/1983. Though 'The Young Ones' didn't appear on screens until late 1982. Too long to be a television advert, this is a cinema advert (certificate at the beginning can tell you that).
Now this what bank adverts should be like.

Been with Natwest since 1983, but never seen this ad before. Uncanny.

As I recall it was only in cinemas, circa 1984/5.
