Nice… wicked… creative
My good friend Trish Bertram just sent me this. How we laughed…

Friday Fun – Andy Marriott and the Central tea tray…
I’d forgotten about this one, till Trish Bertram reminded me. My old mate and colleague, Andy Marriott, from his days at Central Television in Birmingham (circa 1999, I’d guess by the ident in use?)

Friday Fun – the all-action Almera!
Not strictly a voiceover parody this week, but a great ad from a few years back that made me laugh out loud.
