I remember him telling the story about an ex-wife that's why I said Anne Wheatcroft.

Language, Timothy.

It's a bit Orson Welles sherry commercial stuff, and very funny. He gets well paid for this stuff, so it's a bit hypocritical to complain about inane advertising spiel whilst taking the ackers, but there we go. It's not *art*, dear boy. (reminds me, got to catch up with 'Toast of London' over the weekend!)

ETA Oh, it was Findus, was it! Bit low brow compared to Sherry, dear boy. Or indeed Citizen Kane or Doctor Who or the National. With dear Larry. (NB I like Tom, btw.)

Reminds me of the famous Orson Welles commercial for Findus. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V14PfDDwxlE

Audio commercial work can be ridiculously irritating to do, depending on the actual job, and is frequently overseen directly by marketing execs with impossible ideas, much like corporate video work.

I can hear you, Clem Fandango...

Can't beat a bit of Toast.
