You probably won't know this one, but it was absolutely huge in Ireland. Probably the most popular ever.
It's a fairly rubbish advert, but it was the talk of the country for a long time purely because of the two seconds featuring Sally O'Brien (and the way she might look at you). Apart from being attractive, she just seemed such a typically representative Irish colleen. It was quite a shock when the news broke, after a few weeks, that she was actually an English actress. It wasn't long before she was brought back to Ireland to appear on the Late Late Show and we were shocked again to hear this definitive Irish-looking girl speaking with an English accent.
Not long after, we heard she was going to be in a new sitcom on the telly, and that again she wouldn't be playing an English role, but this time she would be French. I like to think that she only got the part in 'Allo 'Allo because of her previous international experience.
Sally O'Brien, played by Vicki Michelle:
That look she gives is still a killer.
