Martin, yes I do remember Spike's Fudgeribar advertisement. I was just discussing it, searched online and yours was the only mention of it, amazingly.

Great to see Spike being himself, rather than a goon. It's little known that Spike fought in WW2. He remembered being in a shellhole and felt they might as well just cover it over and make it his grave.

Nearly every home has radioactive material in it - smoke detectors. Hospitals have nuclear medicine. Universities have reactors.
Nuclear free my bottom!

You don't think they were banned due to being, well, amateurish?

@Peter it looks like it's Don Reynolds holding the microphone (around 1.18), so maybe you're thinking of another down under shoot with Spike? Though your one certainly sounds memorable.

I'm pretty sure I was the cameraman on this day - the soundman was Jim McMullan. Spike signed an autograph for me - I'm a big fan - "to the longest movie man in the world". And after we'd finished, he invited us back to his friend's place for a beer and to watch the All Blacks play on TV. He was in good form It was a very memorable saturday.

Anybody remember the ads Spike did for a product called "Fudgeribar" here in NZ in the early 70s? I'm starting to think I imagined it ...
