Back in the 1990s, the Yellow Pages phone directory was famous for its cheeky TV ads – but what became of Simon Schatzberger, from the 'French polisher' commercial?
Before the internet, there was the Yellow Pages, an A-Z of local businesses – from advice centres to zoos – advertising for your business, all wrapped up in a fat phone directory of a certain colour.
Anyone old enough to have been around at the time will readily recall the old man searching for a book called Fly Fishing by J R Hartley, with the big reveal that it was Mr Hartley himself hunting down his aged tome. One of the other best-remembered ads, first shown in 1991, featured a floppy-haired teenager waking up on the living room floor in the aftermath of a house party he'd thrown while his parents were away.
The scratch is expertly polished away just in time and all seems well, until the final moment, when the hapless teen realises that someone's drawn a beard and glasses onto a women in one of the family's prized paintings.
