Well,we are going back to the early 60s.

Frys chocolate was trying to advertize the fact that their bars of chocolate were large with a TV advertizement where Big Fry comes into town.

It was a big muscley man carrying a huge box on his shoulder.

I vaguely remember Big Fry now you mention it Sharron.
Got me thinking about other old adverts now.

I think Big Fry was James Bond for one film only or have I been eating too much chocolate.

I don't know who Big Fry was but he sure had a big box!

It could have been the Milk Tray man who was James Bond.

Didn't Martini have some kind of action man at one time too?

It was George Lazenby. He played Big Fry man and went onto play James Bond and then almost forgotten.

It seems he was not very memorable in either role,
