Egg Marketing Board: Avis Bunnage
If I were Liz Taylor I wouldn't get up' - but there's no rest for a busy mum.
The British Egg Marketing Board worked with PR firm Ogilvy and Mather to produce a long-running series of commercials extolling the health benefits of eggs for breakfast. Avis Bunnage was a member of Joan Littlewood's Theatre Workshop and this commercial was part of a campaign called Sheila and Eggs, featuring the actress and directed by Littlewood herself.

A cracking collection of adverts from the heyday of the Egg Marketing Board, when the likes of comic giant Tony Hancock and football legend George Best persuaded viewers to go to work on an egg.
Confused? Let Tony explain why happiness is egg-shaped. Lift the lid and dip into this selection and we promise you’ll be eggstatic.
