Valencia played the first 61mins for Fenerbahce against us in the friendly, I think he had a shot that hit the post.
I’ve just checked and it was Bob Mortimer and he deliberately copied the voice style of Derek Guyler. There’s a clip from Top Gear where he actually discusses it.
Reeves was definitely involved at some point Lincs. maybe Bob was protecting his mate a little? https://amp.theguardian.com/media/2005/mar/29/advertising
Cheers Ben! I vaguely remember reading that. My only point was that it was Bob who voiced the Churchill character. A former student of mine worked on the campaign and mentioned the Top Gear piece though oddly he didn’t mention Vic’s part as another character. Cheers
They had a poor run, they dropped Martin Clunes too for getting awarded a ban for speeding. I remembered the story about Vic Reeves but don’t recall the ads. I am a channel hopper when they come on though.
One of the ant and Dec pair got into a bit of bother too, they seem to have got over it and they are back on the telly.
i was gobsmacked at the time to find out the voice behind "oh yes" was indeed bob mortimer and also the meercats was the geordie off alan partridge. has anyone else watched all of bob mortimers would i lie to you compilation videos on youtube? fuji 9???
theres loads of would i lie to you compilation videos of bob mortimer, , i then get sidetracked and watch henning wehn and joe lycett
I think he's a comedy genius, I've loved all the stuff he's been in; I read his autobiography last year ''And Away'' - as you'd expect it's funny as but it also gives you his life from being a kid, losing his dad, going to uni, failing with girls, painful shyness, meeting Vic + his heart attack; it really is a great read.
Unusually I’m going to disagree with you I can’t be doing with Vic Reeves. Just annoying and unfunny to me. Bob Mortimer is great. Even on Reeves and Mortimer he was the only funny person. Comedy’s subjective I guess
