The Judge's verdict


"The Virgin Trains campaign is founded on a predictable strategy and is burdened with two endlines, one of which (Valuable Thinking Time) it has executed in various ways. But a smile can sweep churlishness aside and when I read the imagined prototypes for Clark Gable's fond goodbye in 'Gone With the Wind' this ad just wriggled ahead of the chasing pack."
