Dear Prudence
she's out to play

I have to admit that I love a good costume drama. Especially if you've been caning it on Friday and Saturday, there's nothing better than monging out with a bowl of soup on Sunday evening in front of a rich slice of heaving bosoms and tight breeches. I have to say that the humorous side has not escaped me, and the poor girls often seem to get into the most terrible tizzes about absolutely nothing - a mere glance across the table can often lead to a prolonged and sometimes terminal attack of the vapours. That was, I suppose the way it was back then, and I just cannot imagine what these poor creatures would make of a Saturday night in Hoxton Square, but it is quite a funny thought.
I suppose that is what they're trying to tap into in this ad, and it's sort of alright, but I think it could have been so much better. It's a bit slipshod, they don't give it enough reality up front and the way the young buck brings out his ring is pretty naff. They could have given it a real air of quality, with a bit of thought. It's not about money or production budgets, it's about understanding what you're ripping the piss out of. They haven't really got hold of that, and in fact the only thing that makes the whole thing sing is the great look that the bird on the computer gives her beau when he comes in all full of high hopes - it's a cracker.
So what I'm saying is, carry on with the piss takes of the costume drama, but make the set up a bit more realistic, that way the joke will really work. Trust me.
