This is the video that Sarah Green, the suspended teacher made prior to her appointment.
This advert was shown on a tv commercials show a few weeks ago, Tarrant I think. That's probably what's bought it to the public's attention.
It's very funny, shame we don't have comedy programs as good as this these days, there's a lot of thought and imagination gone into it.
I knew instantly which ad Jeremy Vine meant without looking on here so it made a lasting impression on me.

advertising agency boss David Bell said today that it was `ridiculous' that Ms Green had been suspended.
He said the advert won two top awards at an event in Cannes.
He said: "It was totally a tongue in cheek promotion targeted at the building industry in a language that builders understand. It was absolutely not sordid."
A spokesman for Scruffs, the brand advertised by the clip said the teacher had the company's support.
Spokesman Chris Mellor-Dolman said: "We used her services to promote our product - it was a tongue-in-cheek thing.
"She did something for us - it was her job - she was an actress and a model at the time.
"Now it has come back to haunt her, and it's very unfortunate. It's not as though it's hard porn."
Although never screened on television, the spoof film has won a number of accolades, including the best infomercial at a ceremony in Cannes in 2005 and also the prestigious Roses and IPA industry awards.
It also attracted coverage in the marketing trade press, where the firm said it had led to a leap in sales.
