I worked in advertising for 41 years. This ad. was produced (way before my time!) by the London office of the US ad. agency Young & Rubicam, better known as Y&R. I worked there for a couple of years in the mid-'70s. Yes, it was the first TV advertisement broadcast in the UK when the new commercial channel ITV launched in 1955.

That joke's out of date: www.telegraph.co.uk/news/health/news/12054216/Americans-do-not-have-better-teeth-than-the-British-study-concludes.html "[...] recent statistics show that on pure oral health rather than appearance, the UK does far better than the US. The last figures for OECD countries put the UK top for the average number of missing or filled teeth for 12 year olds, which is now 0.7. In the US it is 1.3. The UK's decay and replacement rates started falling below those of the US during the mid-1990s. Going back to 1963, the UK rate was as high as 5.6." "Carol Guarnizo-Herreño, Research Assistant, Department of Epidemiology and Public Health, University College London, UK added: “Contrary to popular belief, our study showed that the oral health of US citizens is not better than the English, with Americans having significantly more missing teeth.""

Some time in the late 50s I saw them filming a Gibbs SR ad at Guildford Lido. I wasn't impressed that the tube was stuck into the ice block with yellow plasticine.

+torkamarinum, Unfortunately she died quite young, I'm not sure of her name but she did become a regular in Coronation Street during the 70s/early 80's. She died of throat cancer around the mid 1980's, she was about 45 when she died.

Yeah, back before the mid-50’s, BBC was the only television network in Great Britain, and therefore held a monopoly on the British Television business. The British Conservative Party sought to end this monopoly by introducing commercial television to the British Isles. Unlike the commercials in the United States, which many perceived as “vulgar,” British commercial television added a regulator to ensure that adverts were differentiated from programs and that they don’t air during broadcasts of the Royal Family. Thus, the Television Act of 1955 was sanctioned by the British Parliament on July 30th. About two months later, Associated-Rediffusion became the first ITV contractor to ever air on British Television, signing on at 19:15 GMT on September 22nd. The first ever ad to air on British Television (this video, of course) was aired at 20:12 GMT. Feel free to correct me if I got some stuff off.
