I was looking for a different one though which I think involved a news reporter interviewing someone in a bath about the soap, then his microphone falls in the bath and he takes it back out and he sounds like he's underwater when he speaks into it.
Then again, maybe that was for a different brand of soap.
That was indeed this brand of soap, but I don't have that one (Merton was interviewing two children who push his microphone into the bath, and he pulls a toy diver out of the bath and tries speaking into it!).
There's a third one where he interviews an angry man in the shower, and ends up in a fight with him ("I can take him!")... also don't have it :-(
Is that Christopher Timothy (Mac Maguire from "Doctors" and James Herriot in "All Creatures Great and Small") as the director/voiceover man at the end?
Well, I was going through an old video of The Big Breakfast looking for bits I could put on YouTube, and I saw this funny old advert and thought, "why not"!

Could well be, as Merton also mentions Robert Hardy, who I believe also starred in the show!
