This commercial features Janice Nicholls who starred on the British television pop show Thank Your Lucky Stars produced by ABC Television for the ITV Network from 1961 until 1966.

Janice had a famous catchphrase, still remembered to this day: "Oi'll Give It Foive", which was the maximum number of points which could be awarded to a particular chart disc.

Cadbury's Skippy was a wafer biscuit covered with Cadbury's chocolate, with a chewy strip of toffee in the centre. The packaging for Cadbury's Skippy was blue with red and yellow writing. "Crunch in the biscuit, munch in the middle"

Also featured in the commercial is Janice's husband Brian Meacham, who as Brian Gulliver was lead singer with the 1960s band Brian Gulliver and the Travellers.
