@mariehilda We are searching for that one!!!! This is my favourite ad of all time, although have to say, sorry advertisers, couldn't remember which beer it was advertising. 'We're on our way to Wembley/the lads are on the telly/Hello Sonia.... hello...Sonia...Sorry about that ,Terry/ we'll watch the match at Harry's/Come on, you reds, come on you reds!' SO FUNNY! My friend, Marc Court, who I met years after the ad, was in it. Having no luck finding it, though, sorry.

Abdul is played by Anthony O'Donnell
-
Think the minstrel’s Tony Slattery. Or Tim McInnery …

This advert has been with me since I was a kid, and it's taken years to track down Abdul la bulbul lamear
-
@adeworks It is indeed Tim McInnerny as the singer, it's mentioned in The Fry Chronicles.

You'll actually find both kill each other. Which shows the futility of the Russo-Turk wars - that's the point.
The song was written by an Irishman.
-
its based on an old English folk song about an arab prince and a German count that hate each other. The Arab wins though.

Brilliant adaptation of the original song - had no idea it was our dear Lord Fry of Comedyshire until, like many of you, I was directed to this place by the Fry Chronicles. Fantastic., bhheeerr.

Brilliant. This is the difference between British advertising (cultured, witty, literate) and American advertising (big boobs and dumb catchphrases).
I mean mind you, the end result is the same -- dead brain cells from drinking yourself stupid on brew, but hey.
