Excellent!
Did you get paid?
And the man who says ‘You Know when you’ve been Tango’ed’ at the end?
Ahh. The ‘You’ve been Tango’ d’ bit. 
Wasn’t until I looked at the timings properly.
I remember my mate telling me about getting him to do the ad. Money was no object back then.

And yes, I got paid.
I was out of work at the time and he asked me if I wanted to be an extra and earn a few quid. I was happy to.
Long story short… The director didn’t like the look of the second actor and asked for him to be replaced. Then pointed at me. I went from earning a little to a lot. ££££

I just learned that Caligula was the spitting image of Joffrey from Game of Thrones
Since Caligula so loved his horse that he appointed it as Consul, he’d fit right in as Joffrey!

Never heard of a victualler before, apparently a seller of food and provisions. A licensed one would sell alcohol.
The cup came from a Worthing bowls club that has closed down, they are selling 20+ silver trophies like this one.

My great aunt was pretty old when I was a kid & she lived in the Licensed Victuallers’ retirement home in Denham. She had some great stories. She and her husband had the St Stephen’s Tavern by Westminster bridge for a long time; during WW2 they would roll barrels of beer from their cellar through a tunnel to the Houses of Parliament to stock the bars there if there was an air raid on

The rich and powerful will always find a way
There is a Victualling Office Tavern in Stonehouse.
The only pub I ever went in with my dad. Matt’s neighbourhood I believe.

I seem to remember the LVA being the go to interviewee for the BBC back in the late 70s when it came to booze, tax and opening hours.

I wouldn’t have thought they worth much more than scrap value.
Unless one of the names on the trophy meant something to you.
Yeah all scrap, most over polished or dented and no one wants a bowls trophy.
Still worked out over £5k
