The commercial opens with a Doctor in operating garb talking to camera.
Super: Melanoma Surgeon, Royal Prince Alfred Hospital and Mater Hospital
Doctor: Every year almost 400,000 Australians are diagnosed with skin cancer. You could say it’s our national cancer.
We now see the Doctor looking at a Lymphatic map. He gestures towards the lightbox. We cut to the Doctor preparing to operate on the girl.
Doctor: Tanya’s 22, and thought treating melanoma meant simply removing a mole …
We cut to the Doctor cutting a skin cancer out of the girl’s back.
Doctor: … but don’t be fooled - skin cancer can kill.
We cut back to the Doctor talking to camera.
Doctor: Outdoors you can’t just rely on sunscreen. Protect yourself in five ways with a hat, clothing, shade, sunglasses and sunscreen.
Five icons appear: a hat, clothing, shade, sunglasses and sunscreen.
We cut back to the Professor in the operating theatre talking to screen:
Doctor: Do that out there to avoid ending up in here.
Super: The Australian Government logo.
