Can anybody remember a programme with Jimmy Hanley where he was the owner of a pub and the whole script was used to sell stuff, ie he would offer someone a ciggy, and then tell how much he paid for them and how blooming marvelous they were for your health because of the filter tip.
I think it was called Jim`s Inn an advertizing magazine :-/
