the
"telly". The commercial was for "Maltesers", a type of chocolate-coated
malt balls similar to "Whoppers" in the US. The commercial involved two
girls driving a white early-70's Alfa sedan (Giulia Super?) around a
typical
British roundabout, with the girl in the front passenger seat (on the lef=
t)
repeatedly telling the driver to turn right. This of course caused the c=

to continue circling instead of departing on an exit road, and the
"Maltesers" (TM) to roll out of a bag placed on the instrument pod and
across the dashboard to the waiting hands of the hungry "navigator". Nic=

This car is a very nice (1975?) Giulia Super belonging to a customer of
mine, James Castle, who works in the T.V. industry. He was involved in
making 'Classic Cars' which was a series on our Channel 4 a couple of yea=

ago.
