Thanks so much sinner, I really appreciate that (especially given that I am only a newbie/lurker asking for a favour).
But believe it or not, that's actually not the ad I was thinking of!
The ad I remember (keep in mind I'm in Australia) was either a Lego ad, or it may just have been an ad for something else that made use of lego.
Either way, what I remember is this: It shows a boy in his bedroom, and perhaps he's being tucked in for the night by someone and saying goodnight. He might be in the top bunk of a double bunk bed.
But for some reason (I can't remember) he starts off a series of connected toys that perform some sort of automatic service....maybe turning a light off? Or bringing food? I just can't remember. But there was definitely Lego involved, and from his bed he was able to flick a switch and just watch the toys make it all happen.
As I say, it might not have been specifically a Lego ad. Maybe an ad for K-Mart or someone? I just can't remember. All I know was that it screened in the late 80s in Australia, and always had me transfixed when it came on the TV.
Does it ring a bell for anyone?
cheers,
Rob.
