I listened to that ad too hughsblues and thought the same thing. It's definitely Tony Robinson's Baldrick voice and I debated whether the other voice might have been Hugh. Possible I suppose, but it wasn't Stephen for sure. Congrats to Stephen on the nom: hope he wins; that was a brave and helpful effort.

Could the other voice be Rik Mayall? It looks like there are lots of these Domestos adverts and different people doing the voices though the animation all looks like it might be the same company. So maybe Hugh & Stephen are in another ad. Or maybe they plugged in different voices after the animation was done.

Have you seen Annie Lennox´s video, "Walking on broken glass"? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GBn-BpkNsA&mode=user&search= Hugh has a small role there! He looks so funny! I hand´t noticed he was there until today, when a friend pointed it out.

In the spots the germs are Emperors, drunk with power and the desire to take over the world (as they know it) with Limescale and disease. But their devious plans are revealed to be foolhardy in the face of Domestos, which eliminates the germ force and its dirty minions. Working from the agency story boards, Assemble designed the 3D characters and environments bringing the vignettes to animated life. Additionally, Assemble directed the voice talent the powerhouse duo of Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry. http://www.highend3d.com/news/Assemble-Is-Flush-With-Animated-Creativity-317.html It looks as though this link has a pic of what might be from Stephen and Hugh's spot.

Could the other voice be Rik Mayall? Oh, yes, tht sounds right: Robinson and Mayall. Hope that there is one with F&L and the l ink gets posted soon. GeishaSakura Yeah, Annie Lennox was great, but how she could choose Malkovich over Laurie? In tights? The woman's mad! FYI, HL's in another music video, an experiment-themed one with Kate Bush. Both (and many other gems) are on marykir's most excellent and wondrous site.

DOB-thanks for posting the link to those pictures.They made my day!

Speaking of Annie Lennox - she's doing a concert tonight in L.A. - I wonder if Hugh might be in attendance.

This is kinda cool! http://www.sfvbj.com/article.asp?aID=034565402.1909298.1538550.5658025.2668071.124&aID2=118341 That Vince Liuzzi must be quite a character! *g*

No, bailey, it's not just you. Annie's looking...odd. It's a weird kind of odd, though, because technically she looks kind of good. Just in an odd, pale, slightly corpse-like way. In other news, it's weird that you just posted that hughsblues, because the whole reason I logged on was to pass along vague, incomplete, almost completely useless information from my mother. Here's the link to the clinic page about the event: http://www.valleycommunityclinic.org/default.asp?PID=430 I vaguely recall that we mentioned it for about a second at the other place a couple of months back (at least I think we did), but it was instantly out of my mind. My mom called me and said that it was mentioned on KTLA this morning. She hit record on the tivo. And that's all the information she gave me. She simply said that they mentioned it and she recorded it...nothing about what was said or if there was video or whatever. So, anyway, when I have a chance to actually see it, then I'll know what I'm talking about. Until then, I googled the event for the above link. I didn't know anything about Lily Tomlin or Beau Bridges (I'd pay to see Beau Bridges!!), but I'm under the impression that some of the BFTV band members were there. Which band members those were, I have no idea. Again: gotta go get it off of the magical tivo.
