Shippam's Sandwichmakers


This memorable television advert from the early 1980s features the much-loved comedian, Roy Kinnear, who along with Tony Aitken, play two factory workers having their lunchbreak. Roy's sandwiches are tasteless, as usual, while Tony's, as his gestures reveal, are chock full of tasty Shippam's Sandwich Spread. Tony shares a sandwich with Roy and they both show their appreciation without using any words to describe their obvious pleasure.
