Just seen a new (awful) Rob Brydon & family Tesco ad, so it's clearly a full time campaign, not just a Christmas one. Jesus...

Rob Brydon is the one on a months-long cruise. Ben Miller and Ruth Jones are the Tesco shoppers.

Yeah it's so easy to get Ben Miller and Rob Brydon mixed up.

It's the same one that was on about 6 months ago. The campaign didn't start with the Xmas ads. Still not sure what thought processes are going on either with the message or the casting though, how old is "Captain Beatbox" supposed to be?

Probably about 10-15 years younger than the person playing him I'd guess! Clearly meant to be a teenager with an actor in his mid-late 20s (and looks it).

The actor's CV says he plays 20-30.

He's not meant to be a teenager, he's meant to a graduate who's moved back in with mum and dad. So mid twenties.

I thought that was the most likely. It's not exactly the most defined character ever, though.

The wardrobe for the character didn't help. It looked like they dressed him has a 16-17 year old than a grad.
