Des O'Connor - Tesco Christmas Advert

Post by Mike Brailsford »

Des sings a Christmas song and has to dodge the various on-screen offers and info banners that appear on screen, concealing him from view.
I think Eric Morecambe would have been proud. He took the whatsit out of Des for many years !

Des will be on The One Show, tonight at 7pm on BBC1. Apparently they are going to give him some conundrums to work out...so should be interesting!!

Whilst I am here, did any of you see Graham Norton ref Rachel Riley in the intro of his show last night (Thurs 27th Nov). Short but funny. it's on BBC iplayer too...

I really like Des O'Connor, he's been my favourite Countdown host. And I like the advert he's in too.

Ha - was very short and rude. Just like Jon Corby.

Nice jumper, Des, but my favourite bit was in the text at the bottom of the page:

"quite often the adverts form the most enjoying part of an evening in front of the box".

Reminds me of the instruction manuals you get that are written in Japlish.

Another Des appearance this week. He's on This Morning on ITV1 on Friday, 10:30 to 12:30. According to the listing info, he "talks about swapping Countdown for the West End and performs a track from his new album".

Thank you, Kate!

Des may be no Nat King Cole, but he sure makes The Christmas Song his own!

Do you still feel good about your future?
