Premium Bonds: Clerk

Premium Bonds: Clerk


A cartoon city clerk escapes the binds of daily drudgery - thanks to a win on his Premium Bonds.

A cartoon city clerk who "slaved from dawn 'til dead of night" succeeds in escaping the binds of daily drudgery - thanks to a win on his Premium Bonds. This short advert promoting the popular savings bonds is unusual in featuring a fictional character, rather than the real-life winners who generally appeared. The comic poetic commentary is probably one of comedian Cyril Fletcher's Odd Odes, which usually featured a Cockney character.

Animated advertisment with story told in the form of a Cyril Fletcher rhyming 'ode'. A clerk who is unhappy in his work has his dreams fulfilled when he wins a prize from his National Savings premium bonds.
