Are you saved? Where will you go when you die? Heaven or hell? The Gospel, which means the Good News is the news that God Almighty, the Creator came in the flesh as Jesus Christ to take away the sin of the world. The one God is a trinity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Son came and laid down his own life to save ours. His sacrifice on the cross paid the price for our redemption with his own blood. On the third day he rose from dead and offers the gift of salvation and forgiveness to those that repent and trust in him. Although God's creation was created perfect, having no death, sickness and disease, the creation became corrupted through Adam and Eve in them disobeying God. In this rebellion the creation became fallen through the curse of sin and mankind became separated from God. This world is fallen, but God offers reconciliation to him through his provision at the cross. Ultimately God will restore his creation to perfection when he returns but those that reject his offer of redemption will remain condemned by their sins and go to hell. John 1:1,14 KJV In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and THE WORD WAS GOD. [14] And THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH, and dwelt among us, 1 John 3:8 KJV He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Isaiah 9:6 KJV For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty GOD, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. John 1:10 KJV He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and THE WORLD KNEW HIM NOT.

It's funny how Buffy nailed serialized story telling on TV: the episodes were largely stand alone while linking into a larger narrative where a big story played out over the course of a season, and the popularity of these commercials was due to their serialized narrative. Ripper or not, these commercials are still memorable to those around at the time, and Tony Head's later portrayal of Rupert Giles has little to do with it since most are surprised when they hear who the guy is.

I remember these commercials from when they were first aired. Many little charmers were grumbling, "Oh, for heaven's sake, just shag her already." The series did seem to rather drag on. And on. And then when I moved to America from the UK in 1990, they were being shown there and he had put on an American accent.

There was one where he finally gets her into bed and in the "morning after" he asks her how it [the sex] was and she sips her coffee then says "It was like your coffee: instant" and his face drops. Can't remember if it was the actual final ad or a spoof the two original actors did for Telethon or Comic Relief or something.
