Are you related to Tumble Tower?

Anyway, those puppets aren't so bad. I like the one where the boss says, "NO NO NO!", and her legs flap about in a rage.

Flapping legs are funny.
Oh, this one. I wasn't aware of the shorter versions - I suppose they're bearable in 10-second doses. One pays homage to the fully-clothed neolithic-looking Diet Coke man. He wasn't a patch on the original. yomnomnom.

I'll put this here, although its in TV Forum's "Christmas Ads" thread



According to the radio this morning, this ad was largely shot in Edinburgh. The man wrapping the candlesticks was filmed at Standard Life's old offices in Tanfield - and it was at the hight of summer (July), so hoses and wind machines were used to make it look like, er, normal weather in Edinburgh.

It was filmed in North Yorkshire and features the vocal talents of the Colne Valley Male Voice Choir.

In other news, Halifax has dropped the ad agency that made those terrible ISA ISA adverts.
