The British Egg Information Service was hoping to re-run the famous Tony Hancock ads to celebrate the 50th anniversary off the famous "Go to work on an egg" campaign.
However... they have been banned by the British Advertising Clearance Centre as they arent shown as part of a varied diet.
Its hard to argue against it, after all; you wouldnt expect to see a cigarette ad shown just because it was made before they were banned.
Shame though. Good ads, and that Hancock was a good egg...

Attention to Detail
Annoyingly I cant find it to show you, but I love the current Egg tv ad with the Guinea Pigs.
The first ads were great, and on this one they try to find out their opinions so put in robots with furry wigs on. Its amusing, and its also a very well produced world within the ad; down to little details like the clothing and the places they go.
One of my favourite bits is the art gallery where (for example) the terms and apr details are written as if on a piece of art by Barbara Kruger (and they have her style exactly right).
Its a nice ad, but it has such good attention to detail, which elevates it higher in my view.
