T-Mobile Uses Harry Hill To Reveal What Britain Loves (VIDEO)

First Posted: 2/02/2012 12:02 Updated: 2/02/2012 15:36

What do Britons love about Britain? That’s the question answered by T-Mobile’s new multi-million pound brand campaign launched on Wednesday with a viral video featuring the voice of big-collared comedian Harry Hill.

Building on the success the Royal Wedding ad, which was viewed by more than 20m people and ranked as one of the most watched ads online in 2011, the phone company’s latest offering opens with a quaint English village setting.

But it ends with a mosh pit of strange British characters dancing around a giant cheese, with micropigs, tanned Beefeaters and Dizzee Rascal’s Bonkers thrown in.

Created by Saatchi & Saatchi, the campaign is designed to celebrate T-Mobile’s new “The Full Monty” tariff, with a 90 second version of the ad launching online tomorrow, followed by 60 and 30 seconds spots running on TV throughout February and March.

Spencer McHugh, Director of Brand at Everything Everywhere said: "Britain is really enjoying the limelight this year, so the campaign has been designed to capture and celebrate that sentiment of British goodwill.

“As we head into an exciting year with the Queen’s Jubilee and a summer of sport ahead of us, we believe we’ve really tapped into the feeling of the nation with a campaign that can’t help but raise a smile.”

I think most Britain's think this country is c*** now. Its a dumping ground.

Couldn't agree more. This country is only good if you're from somewhere else in the universe.

I love the fact that this land is still 'OURS'.
Well, just about.

i would tend to disagree with you on that one. I believe we lost it a long time ago. It's just getting further away from our grip as we continue.

The British public at large are rude, selfish, bad mannered, thick, untidy - scruffy louts that think freedom and democracy mean that you can behave how you want and do what you want without sparing a thought for others and how they are affected by the public's base attitude. My experience of dealing with neighbours has shown that politely approaching your average unruly neighbour leads to them going into verbal "attack" mode even before really listening, but go "armed" with your own bad attitude and that leaves them wondering what kind of person you are and what might happen to them if they continue to annoy. I have not found one atom's worth of the British bad attitude to other people and the environment that they themselves live in when I have travelled to mainland Europe. 'Possop'', (see below) thinks that it's funny to annoy and irritate people who have a different sense of humour than his own; which he describes as 'no sense of humour' What? So Possop has a monopoly on what is funny and what's not funny. Too much of anything is pollution. Possop exists in his own self-made dessert of self importance and blindness to respect for other people.

a bit over the top, i certainly agree there are portions of our society that reflect the picture you painted, but to tar us all with the same brush is not fair.....or more importantly.....accurate.

Thanks. It's just what I have found to be the case. I certainly don't tar everybody with the same brush really, as far as I recall, I do give everyone an equal chance to be pleasant and I treat people that I meet with respect. There just isn't time to get to know everybody.

one of the best things about britain and being british is our wonderful sense of humour and even that now appears to be under threat

Made me smile anyway.
I just hope the moaning knockers don't have a field day trashing the comments as they usually do.
