This advert again promotes the dominate ideology that women are meant to do housework as referred to in this advert hence the women doing the shopping and being asked about the type of washing powder she uses. One reason being that a man is not asked about the type of powder which is used is obviously due to the fact that men would then in that time period have a clue what type or brand of powder is used.
This Coca Cola advert shows how there is a role reversal - as women are being portrayed to be more sophisticated and have a well paid job. Hence, the male figure is being shown as having a very petty job which is a builder. The women are seen to be given more responsibility than in other adverts.

This advert portrays the women again to be the female sex object however in a more intellectual way. She is firstly seen as reading a book and travelling by train hence showing how independent women are now becoming. Throughout the advert the women is given a responsible role to look after the bar of chocolate hence this fits in with her typical expectations of being the carer and nurturer. At the end of the advert the female central protagonist plays the leading role where she pulls the man forward and leans in for a kiss.
At the end of the advert when she does manage to eat the maltesers it shows that women are equal in society - and whatever a man can do and women can also do. Throught this advert is can be inferred that women are now becoming more independent, unlike being the typical housewife staying at home cooking and cleaning.

Career
Tennant as Barty Crouch Jr in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Tennant's first professional role upon graduating from drama school was in a staging of The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui co-starring Ashley Jensen, one of a few plays in which he performed as part of the agitprop 7:84 Theatre Company. Tennant also made a striking early television appearance as a transsexual in Rab C Nesbitt.
Moving to London in the early 1990s, Tennant lodged with comic actress and writer Arabella Weir, with whom he became close friends and then godfather to one of her children. He has subsequently appeared alongside Weir in many productions; as a guest in her spoof television series, Posh Nosh; in the Doctor Who audio drama Exile and as panelists on the West Wing Ultimate Quiz on More4.
Tennant developed his career in the British theatre, frequently performing with the Royal Shakespeare Company for whom he specialised in comic roles such as Touchstone in As You Like It, Antipholus of Syracuse in The Comedy of Errors (a role he recorded for the 1998 Arkangel Complete Shakespeare production of the play) and Captain Jack Absolute in The Rivals, although he also played the tragic role of Romeo in Romeo and Juliet. It was announced on 30 August 2007 that he is returning to the RSC, to play Hamlet (alongside Patrick Stewart) and Berowne (in Love's Labours Lost) from July to November 2008.
In 1995, Tennant appeared at the Royal National Theatre, London, playing the role of Nicholas Beckett in Joe Orton's What the Butler Saw. The plot required Tennant to appear near-naked on stage.
Tennant appeared in several high-profile dramas for the BBC, including Takin' Over the Asylum (1994), He Knew He Was Right (2004), Blackpool (2004), Casanova (2005) and The Quatermass Experiment (2005). In film, he has appeared in Stephen Fry's Bright Young Things, and as Barty Crouch Jr. in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. One of his earliest big screen roles was in Jude (1996), in which he shared a scene with his Doctor Who predecessor Christopher Eccleston, playing a drunken undergraduate who challenges Eccleston's Jude to prove his intellect.

Emap radio boss quitsJulia DayTuesday February 28, 2006MediaGuardian.co.uk
One of Emap's most senior radio executives, Shaun Gregory, is leaving the company after a decade.
Mr Gregory, the Emap Performance managing director of national radio brands, was responsible for networks Kiss, Magic, Kerrang!, Smash Hits, Q, Heat, The Hits and Mojo. He also oversaw Emap's digital plans and its radio development team.
He told staff at Emap about his departure today and is believed to want to spend more time with his young family after moving from Sheffield to Sussex. Mr Gregory is leaving the company at the end of the week and is unlikely to be replaced.
His staff will now report to Dee Ford, the Emap head of radio, who said: "We often refer to the growth opportunities offered to those people within Emap who can demonstrate ability and delivery - Shaun is a living example of this in practice.
"Shaun leaves with my personal thanks for all the passion, drive and delivery that he has brought to Emap radio over the past 10 years."
Starting his career at Emap as local sales manager at Liverpool's Radio City, Mr Gregory was previously Emap Performance's director of development, masterminding the strategy behind Emap's string of digital radio station launches, before being promoted to oversee all Emap's national radio brands 16 months ago.
