Creature Feature

Peter Jones and Gremlins advertising BT? No matter how many times I see the ad, I can’t quite work out why. Peter Jones on his own? Sure, he’s a captain of industry and all that so why not. Simply some Gremlins knobbing about, no problem. They’ve done both before, with Gordon Ramsay in his own ad, and ET, somewhat tenuously doing his a few years back. But putting unrelated celebrities and Hollywood creatures together? It’s just odd, it’s almost as if they had a random list of celebrities and studio properties of descending and ascending value and this was slap bang in the middle on both counts, to play it safe.
But, what if they’d been even more outlandish with their scheme? I like to think these might be the next ads from BT to look forward to.

George Clooney & The Ghoulies
