Leonard Rossiter and Joan Collins in Tiger's Head commercial for Cinzano

Cinzano – Tiger’s head
This is CDP again in fine form with the last in the series of Cinzano spots featuring Leonard Rossiter and Joan Collins. Written and directed by Terry Lovelock – famous for “reaches the parts other beers cannot reach” for Heineken – it won Gold at Cannes, London and New York festivals. These were truly special films with Leonard and Joan, both consumate professionals, doing the action right first take in virtually every scene. Pure performance in the best sense. Humour is the hardest thing to pull off. We were home by cocktail time. Pretty rare today.

Kestrel – Outback

Kestrel Lager - CDP Commercial

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.
