The recent release of the new MacDonalds rewards advert, the one with the lorry driver "Coming Home", has raised questions in my mind.
Does it take OVER 4 years from filming to release of an advert?
OR were the film makers permitted to send an artic over the original Forth Road Bridge AFTER it became a public transport only route in 2018?

I tried to date the tractor unit but it seems to have a foreign registration or possibly a personal; reg plate.

I doubt it takes that long to produce an advert usually, but with convid happening, who knows?

I haven't seen the ad myself - not had a telly these three years now and don't miss it one bit - but are you sure it's that particular bridge and not another one that looks like it? Maybe a silly question... Smile

If it isn't that bridge then they have photoshopped the railway bridge into the same view.
Very Happy

Probably CGI'd, cheaper than lugging a production crew and props to Scotland.
