If you\u2019re of a certain age you\u2019ll remember Martin Shaw for his fully permed, street smart, ex-cop incarnation – Ray Doyle – of Criminal Intelligence 5 fame.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Like me, you probably sat up with your Dad and watched the smooth Doyle and his hard case partner Bodie tearing around and tooled up in their respective Capris.<\/p>\n

\"Bodie<\/a><\/figure>\n

If all the above is true then it wouldn\u2019t greatly surprise you to find that when Ford signed off on the world\u2019s first three-minute TV commercial to launch the Mark II Capri, they chose Shaw as the frontman.<\/p>\n

When you watch this piece of film you\u2019re being transported back to the days when advertising budgets could feed small nations and when the Creative Directors of Ad agencies had more clout than Marky Mark Wahlberg has in Hollywood today.<\/p>\n

This mini movie \u2013 set, we presume, somewhere in Provence – was directed by Adrian Lyne. He went on to make sexually charged blockbusters such as Fatal Attraction and 9 \u00bd weeks, and you can easily see this as the start of one of those stories. From the minute he picks her up you\u2019re waiting for Shaw to stub out his ciggie and get the chick on the back seat.<\/p>\n

The mini epic is shot through with the sort of predatory sexuality that’s almost Trumpian.<\/p>\n

Them were the days, right?<\/p>\n

But hold on. This ad got its primetime three minute slots in 1974 when Ray Doyle was still a Detective in the Met – and Shaw was mostly doing theatre work. Those Capri driving Professionals didn\u2019t actually hit our screens until 1977.<\/p>\n

Now is that shaman-like forward thinking by the Ford account admen, or an early case of automotive type casting for Martin Shaw?<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
