I like this little drama. Well cast, tersely scripted, entertainment.

Pity the programmes aren't as well done.

[Gulftastic]

I am the reverse. I hate the ads. From the very first one, with all it's hilarious 'nerd' gags, I've just wanted to slap the bleeding lot of the.

[Viscount Byron]

Seriously they should just get the threesome over with already. And whats happened to Kris Marshall? did the son smash him over the head with the home hub in a fit of connection rage and then dismember him and stuff him in the shed?

But they're so relatable

...


I feel sick even sarcastically thinking that

[Lenitive]

I have to mute it every time it's on. Why can't they do something lovely and cinematic like the BT Infinity ad with the falling lights? That was nice! I'd rather watch that then two bland actors without chemistry or comic timing trying to muddle through the technical specs of a wireless hub while still keeping it real.

Ugh. I have a lot of feelings, it seems.

You are either (a) one of the actors in the ad or (b) BT's ad manager or (c) the chairman of BT.

Student accomodation seems to have improved.

To anyone involved in making this ad, no matter how tangentially, you are worse than Hitler.

[jaychristie909]

I recognised the guy who plays the student who isn't the son. I noticed he's Daniel Rigby, who played the young Eric Morecambe in Eric and Ernie. I really like him as an actor.

Hitler was at least quite clever. The makers of this ad are just hopelessly naive.

[LostFool]

The girl in the advert is lovely and she would be welcome to knock on my door anytime. I'd show her some hot spots...

I disagree. She is a pouty sulky miss whose parents didn't say "No" enough to her when she was growing up.

Ah, she just needs some discipline...

[groovesection]

This advert is total and utter arsewank, that is right arsewank, It is so bad it deserves a new adjective to describe it.

Oh and the real reason behind the Coffee shop version is not to highlight BT's Wireless connectivity, They go to the Coffee Shop because BT Infinity is only delivering 500KB/s

I hereby invoke Godwin, seeing as no one else did it.

Every time I hear that "hot spots" dialogue I'm thinking "f**k me, it's as if Noel Coward were still alive and writing for TV adverts". Not.

He goes from winning the Best Actor BAFTA to starring in a BT advert, he really needs to get a new agent.

Rebecca Night who played Fanny Hill in the BBC4 adaptation a few years - So she'd know all about being disciplined.

[snoweyowl]

The girl is attractive but despite the efforts of the make up people sometimes I'm thinking that she's nearer 30 than 20. Now that we have an ID I've looked her up and indeed she's 26.

The great thing about these little story adverts is that they don't stay the same, you get a new episode every week or two.

The advertising people will be thrilled because attracting attention is the name of the game, so if some people remember it because they think it's dated and unrealistic that's fine. Would you get your internet from the 'The Young Ones', I think not.

[alienghost]

I don't mind these adverts actually, they're less annoying than the old ones. Mainly because that awful harridan the Kris Marshall character was dating isn't in as much. (I know she appears briefly at the beginning of one, but at least she's gone quickly).

This is a very, very weird thing to think about an actress in an advert, never mind to bother sharing.

An ad for a major company is a dream job! Ongoing money that allows him to choose his other work. (Plus he's currently on Broadway so he's doing just fine.)

I'm in the don't like the ads category - they make me cringe.

She was in a Student Loans ad about 10 years back. She must be doing a second masters by now and be in a shit load of debt

[jackee-spyker]

the ginger student is hilarious isnt he "but wi-fi dont you take it with you?", genius play on words there, i laugh so much my ribs ache, and as for the map of a girls hot spot,wow, innuendo yet done so cleverly, I WOULD LOVE IT IF THEY MADE A SITCOM ABOUT THESE THREE CRAZY STUDENTS LIVES, IT WOULD MAKE MY LIFE COMPLETE!




all the above is not my opinion at all, it is in fact as one poster said, arsewank, and the diologue is cringeworthy cackiness. x
