Old Hovis Ad

[bethtinks]

for the life of me i cannot find a watchable old hovis advert......you remember the classic ones with the boy walking with his bike down the cobbled hill with the hovis....along with the beautiful dvorjac(query spelling?) classical music and narration.

I am a yorkshire lassie and have friends abroad and i want to show them, but have been unable to find one.....gis' a bit o'yer 'elp in t'is matter and i'll sing t'thee on't hills.

There is a downloadable version available here in the adverts section.

Just to throw cold water on things though, the advert was filmed in Dorset and not Yorkshire.

As Mortartube says this advert was filmed in north Dorset.

 The much photographed Gold Hill in Shaftesbury is the exact location - and the music is the 2nd movement from Dvorak's Symphony No: 9 called 'From the New World' ........accent probably genuine Yorkshire though ;-)

Thanks Mortartube and Cetti.....

Yes i was aware that the hill was in cornwall.....it was more the accent of the video that i wanted to show the mates....

yes Cetti you're right....genuine yorkshire at its best ;)
