I've just watched the new TV advert for the warning signs of prostate cancer. It features Bob Monkhouse as a ghost in a grave yard. It's truly an amazing advert when you remember that Bob died of prostate cancer in 2003.

How they've pulled this one off so convincingly is amazing! Technology continues to stun me.

Indeed it looks good, Sky News had a report earlier on Tuesday evening showing how they did it, they got a body double, used previous images and clips of Bob and a soundalike. Apparently his wife liked it first time round, but she was rather freaked out by the second time she watched it.

I've seen it, it looks like a really good advert, with a good message.
