Cadbury Fruit and Nut
Frank Muir did the voice over and the music was The Nutcracker Suite!
(I didn’t Google that; I must have been around 6 or 7 at the time, and very interested in TV ads and chocolate!)

If you've looked at the poll of favourite ads this is the number 1 favourite!! Just two words......Phil Collins.

If that advert really is the most popular, I’ll eat my (high) hat
