GUEST,Eric Armstrong UK Hovis ad 1970s (53* d) RE: UK Hovis ad 1970s 27 Feb 09


I have either been told or else read (and I don't remember which)
That the Hovis Gold Hill commercial was made by Ridley Scott in the early days of his film making career.
A career which apparently began at Hartlepool Technical College and has taken him to the heights of the Hollywood film industry(Blade Runner etc.)He has a brother Tony Scott who is also a big wheel Hollywood director (Top Gun etc.)
The thing that in my mind gives a shred of credibility is that
I went to Grangefield Grammer School in Stockton on Tees and I do remember a boy there called Tony Scott.
Stockton to Hollywood! it does seem incredible but I guess stranger things have turned out to be true.
I would love to know the truth.
