1969 First colour advertisement on British TV: Birds Eye Peas on ATV.

Serendippily dons a fake beard, frightens some children and repels boarders with a fusillade of frozen cannonballs.

THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW (allegedly)

- The music for the Birds Eye peas spot was supplied by Johnny Johnston Jingles. The company was also responsible for "you can be sure of Shell" and "a million housewives every day pick up a can of beans and say Beanz Meanz Heinz".

- Colour TVs did not outnumber black-and-white sets in the UK until 1976.

- The first networked colour programmes appeared within two days of the Birds Eye commercial being screened. They were The Golden Shot and Royal Variety Performance on ATV and Opportunity Knocks on Thames.
