Revisiting ‘vintage’ Safestyle TV ads

Like fine wine, some things get better with age, yet can the same be said of some TV adverts? The women of Safestyle were the subject of a previous post about Safestyle TV ads, but you could say that the "main man" in double glazing is the Safestyle Window Man. We've been revisiting some of his most memorable outings on our YouTube channel and, looking back at a TV career which spans over a decade, the Window Man has certainly made a lasting impression.

It all began in 1999 and the now-famous - some say infamous - debut titled "Pushover," coining his catchphrase "You buy one, you get one free" in his dulcet Burnley-accented tones, extolling the virtues of Safestyle's replacement windows and doors.

Decked out in green to begin with, the Safestyle "caped Crusader" made such a sustained impact that he was commissioned to do another ad, the now equally memorable "Swinging Windows," in 2003. This time he appeared resplendent in red, and has remained that way ever since, with the word "BOGOF" becoming a household word emulated by all.

Many more TV personalities were to follow, but Jeff "The Window Man" Brown continued to add to his Adography, having captured the public's imagination up and down the country and become one of the most recognisable faces on TV. Look out for his new ads, coming soon!
