William Franklyn, whose suavity of voice matched his appearance in the series of “Schhh . . . you know who” adverts by Ogilvy & Mather, is still remembered as the voice of the brand even though his adverts ended in 1974.
Later, we had Richard E Grant and Liz Hurley each turning up at the Off Licence with their pet pooches. Hurley gets the last of the Schweppes, Grant gets the inferior brand, but his dog cleverly switches the carrier bags after distracting the other dog’s attention. “Very good. Now get her phone number.”
