The guy from this ad

Think both of those have a decent shot actually mate, fucking fantastic shout.

Incidentally, it’s interesting how the lady from those adverts has transitioned from a supporting role as a samba dancer in the initial run to being a key player in them now, fair play to her.

Could see him in a “gritty” ITV crime drama set on the Pennines or some shit, thanks Aggsy-Wagsy-Woo

You know that Australian comedian from the Channel 4 comedy idents? If he isn’t up and coming now, he will be!

Nice one, thanks. There’s another lady in that advert that might be a contender but I can’t really remember who it is.

This was a good thread and deserved better:

That’s the one! Thanks TB!

remember this one?

Pretty sure I’ve seen one of the guys from the 118118 commercial in something else (may have been an ad for a different company, mind).

Maureen Lipman used to do BT ads in the 80s/90s (?) and i remember it being a big deal because everyone was like OMG it’s maureen lipman in those ads.

literally never seen maureen lipman (acting) in anything else before or since.

see also ‘call me bobo’ Bob Hoskins, except i have seen him in other stuff.

I expect the SCS lady is going to be an oscar contender in four years time
