The Sunday Times looks at the new TV commercial for Bananarama - featuring a host of politicians

The commercial, for Bananarama's Greatest Hits Album, was devised by one-year old ad agency Leagas Shafron Davis - its first TV work.

Among the list of politicians it features are Cyril Smith, Merlyn Rees and Ron Brown. Ron Leagas, founder of the agency, opted to use politicians because many were available at the same time and, also, their fees were considerably lower than those demanded by commercial actors.
