<HTML>By means we needn't go into I have obtained a shooting script for an advert that appeared on the Toad Network during the 1980's; script reads as follows;
EXT; sports car races up to camera (props; multi-coloured speedster if poss). THURSDAY leaps from car and walks toward camera, which dollies back as she moves.
THURS: Hi, I'm Thursday Next, SpecOps top LiteraTec, and in my job I need to be on the move constantly.
CUT to INT, KITCHEN, THURS making cup of coffee; THURS turns to camera, stirring cup.
THURS: And when I'm moving I don't always know where I'll end up; in a book, in the last century, or the day after tomorrow. (LOOKS SERIOUS) And moving fast around time and fiction can be hard on my natural rhythms. That's why I use Timeform, the new personal protection for women who need to be everywhen. Timeform's extendable wings not only provide extra protection and comfort in the here and now, but the unique ChronoGrip extends into both past and future, (SMILES) making sure I can have total confidence whenever I am. (FREEZE FRAME).
V/O; Timeform - for the woman of today who needs to be in the middle of last week.
People who have seen the advert tell me that the part of Thursday was played by Lola Vavoom in an unconvincing brown wig, and also that the product didn't sell.</HTML>

<HTML>Wonderful! All it needed was a personal endorsement from Jane. That would have gotten the product moving. ;-)</HTML>

<HTML>Question....
Why do Red Bull and Bodyform appeal to completely different targets by promising to give you wings?
Obviously some kind of advertising convergent evolution going on here...</HTML>
