Kestrel – Outback
Terry Lovelock wrote and David Ashwell directed this very funny spot with voiceover by Leslie Phillips. Kestrel was a new brand and Terry (”reaches the parts other beers cannot reach”) Lovelock felt nothing could beat the authenticity of shooting on location in the lager centre of the world – Australia. Actually it was a small stage at Shepperton on a rainy November afternoon. I’m not sure how ‘right on & PC’ this would be today, but it’s certainly gentle and above all, entertaining. CDP, 1985.
