ERNIE comes up trumps for grocers in this jaunty early TV ad for government-backed Premium Bonds

Lady Luck smiles on Herefordshire grocers Mr & Mrs Markham in a jaunty TV ad for National Savings premium bonds. Filmed in a wincingly crude studio mock-up of a grocery shop, the prize-winning couple are visibly ill at ease in front of the camera. The smooth and silver-tongued presenter takes everything in his stride, however, as he quizzes them on their plans for the future.
