Game 64

The boy pushing his bike up the hill

An advert from 1973

The game's question

Build the picture of the steep street slowly; the brand may follow.

1973, on the telly. A slow tune played by a brass band, a steep cobbled street and a boy pushing his heavy bicycle up the hill, loaded with loaves of bread. The advert was directed by Ridley Scott. Which bread was the boy delivering? Circle the name together.

  • Smash
  • Hovis
  • Heinz
Need a hint?

Hum something slow and solemn, then push an imaginary bike up a hill. Only one of the three names is a bread. Who went to fetch the bread in your house?

See the answer

Answer: Hovis – the boy and his bike, an advert from 1973 by Ridley Scott.

Why this game : One advert seen over and over is enough to bring back the bread run and the shop at the end of the street.
