    Default News of the World Great British Pub Guide

    Just been farting around on the internet and came across this gem:

    http://www.tellyads.com/show_movie_v...ilename=VA0560

    Wonder who got into it?

    Just noticed that all readers get a free can of Skol too - classy.

    A News of the World pub guide advertised by Jim Bowen with the obligatory buxom barmaid complete with 1970’s perm, people drinking lager out of pint pots and you can win a can of Skol. As you say ‘classy’, the advert must be a few years old.

    Tricky..

    My first reaction was Bob Hoskins as I definately got a 'Long Good Friday' vibe when hearing it...

    But listened to it a couple of times now and I'm not too sure... but I probably still go with Bob.

    And I keep expecting the legend that is Jim Bowen to put the can of Skol down and say "now let's see what you could have won"...

    Don't think so - Bob Hoskins is a better bet.

    Here's Dave from Minder for comparison:

    Doesn't sound like either to me, probably just some voice -over artiste maybe Cockney Wanker from Viz

    After spending out on a big star like Jim Bowen there wouldn't be much left in the kitty for Hoskins or even Glynn Edwards. Rupert Murdoch didn't get to be a billionaire forking out for talent of that calibre .
