  What??? But you can't have a blonde milk tray man!! ) ) Thanks for these. That takes me back a bit. Poor bloody shark. Getting attacked by a male model for a box of chocolates. he's just swimming about, minding his own business. Then some maniac comes after him with a knife. What's that about. ) I can remembers seeing spoofs of these. I'm going to search Youtube and see if I can find them.

  The first 5 seconds of the First ad above are so Goldeneye PTS - although this was made some20 years before GE !
  
  My personal fave was where he was skiing down a mountain escaping an avalanche - can't find that clip
  
  Is it any coincidence tha the earleir chap from the late 60's and 70's ads is Connery-esque with his thin lips and flaired nostrils and the 90's gent is more Brosan with his combed back hair and combat/cargo apparel
  
  
  
  From Wikipedia:
  Milk Tray was responsible for one of the most famous and iconic advertising campaigns in British television history. Running from 1968 to 2003, the chocolate was advertised by the Milk Tray Man a rough, tough action man perhaps modelled on James Bond who goes through hell and high water to surreptiously deliver a box of Milk Tray to a woman. The strapline was All because the lady loves Milk tray.
  
  There were 19 adverts in the series, actor Gary Myers who is most closely regarded as the action figure starred in 11 of them between 1968 and 1984. The music is called The Night Rider and is written by Cliff Adams who also wrote the music for Fry's Turkish Delight

  I've just seen a really bizarre ad that spoofs the Milk Tray ads. I think it's for online gambling, but I was a little too stunned to notice. It's got a dwarf acting as the milk tray man and delivering a casino advertisement to a yacht. I can't find it on Youtube, but I'll keep an eye out. If anybody else finds it, please post it here.
