Yes Minister Stars and the Wispa Bar: A Nostalgic Look at a Classic 1985 Advert

A blast from the past: Revisiting the 1985 Cadbury's Wispa advert. The recent resurgence of interest in retro advertising has brought renewed attention to classic commercials. One such example is the 1985 Cadbury's Wispa advert, featuring the beloved actors Paul Eddington and Nigel Hawthorne. In this charming advertisement, the two actors are shown sampling the newly released Wispa bar. Their genuine reactions to the chocolate's unique texture and taste are a testament to the product's quality. "It really is splendid," remarks one of the actors, perfectly capturing the sentiment of many viewers. The advert's success lies not only in its product placement but also in its use of familiar faces and a simple, yet effective, message. This short, yet memorable, commercial serves as a delightful reminder of a simpler time and the enduring appeal of classic British advertising.
