Bit of a forgotten figure nowadays, sadly. He might have done, I’m not sure. Bit of a forgotten figure nowadays, sadly.

I knew I'd heard it somewhere. No doubt these days they'd be shamelessly flogging the actual tie-in brand in supermarkets everywhere. And what a great 70s figure Billy Dainty was! I mainly remember him from his stuff with Rod Hull as well, but he had his own show at one point, didn't he? Mid-1970s? Brilliant! I knew I’d heard it somewhere.

'And all because the lady loves Scunge Chocolates' being one of them, with Barbara New as the woman. I think it was Billy Dainty in the unlikely role of the Milk Tray-style man.

Mind you, I think even Arthur Mullard could have made Black Magic sound cheeky and decadent. They were just that kind of chocolate. Scunge Chocolates rings a vague bell, but I just can't place it. Is it from that bizarre Terry Jones/Michael Palin one-off where they grind up human body parts for luxury chocolates? Or is that called 'Secrets'? Ha ha, it is Robert Powell, isn’t it?

Odd he always seems to make everything sound so cheeky and decadent. Would you know what I meant if I asked if you knew of the adverts for Scunge Chocolates?
