In answer to your question: No. (-:
It's not as narrow a window as you might think. The advert played for most of the rest of the decade, and went on to be parodied on comedy shows ranging from #TheTwoRonnies to #BeadlesAbout in the 1980s.

I had totally forgotten about that until you mentioned it. Attitudes have definitely changed over the past decades.
Re Doctor Who's most recent episode I've found myself thinking of Mrs Flood & The Rani as "The two Rani's".
Tell me RTD has thought about using a "well it's goodnight from me and it's goodnight from her". In the next episode.
It's of course a shibboleth for who knows #TheTwoRonnies and who doesn't.
But it's even more!
How many #electricians picked up on the positioning of that blanking plate and what it implies for possible wiring inside the wall where the screwholes for that bracket were drilled? So it's a way of discovering the DIYers who have learned the hard way from shorting out their houses, too.
I learned from seeing someone else do it, and bought a wiring sensor. (-:
