He's terribly good; his face as the ad ends is marvellous.

whats the ad for?

I think it's Nationwide.

Nope - it's Norwich Union.

Clearly not having any impact for the product then. Mind you, I'm about as interested in insurance as in learning Cantonese.

There are a few great faces and actors on ads at the moment, I must say that I love Churchill the dog though. Over the years and they have made a downright daft idea into a legend!

I must say , after probably ten years of watching the daft dog character and seeing how good the ads have got since the first dreadful cheap ones, I still have never changed my insurance company from the one that I have been with since I was 17! (and why would I? I only pay

I preferred the earlier Churchill dog adverts. The later ones have got a bit cheesy.

Personally I'm not a fan of either Reeves or Mortimer.

They've also replaced Harry Hill (for some time now) in the " Maureen " ads. Whats the world coming to?
