    Can anyone in the radio world tell me if this is being broadcast this year? I had a recording of it on MP3 and can't dig it out - it's awesome and I've got some people I'd love to hear it - it's the one with the train set!

    I thought about the same thing myself yesterday. Hopefully it will be broadcast this year, maybe we'll hear it Monday morning. I have a recording if you want to drop a PM with your email, I'll send it on to you.

    I saw this on youtube before, but something has gone wrong with it .. Only the first 19 seconds are played even though the purported length of the video is right.. :confused: It was fine cos I looked it up last year..

    Apparently Peter Caffrey, who voiced it, died a few years ago..

    This is my personal favourite christmas ad, which has certain similarities..

    Have emailed mp3 to OP.

    Yeah Peter Caffrey died a few years back. What a wonderful voice.

    I remember Peter Caffrey in the movie "I Went Down", great performance.

    It's no reflection on him but I absolutely hate this ad. A company using contrived sentimentality to try and flog their product. Barry's are not unique in this practice but this is the most nauseating example of it, imo.

    If there is a Hell, I imagine this ad is featured on an infinite repeat loop on the devil's own tannoy system.

    Choo-choo.

    I have to agree.

    It was good when I heard it first, pleasant the second time and nice when I heard it for the third time.
    Thats a lot better than most ads get.

    Now its just bloody annoying whenever it is aired.

    I mean come on, "Doesn't bate Banagher". Nice once or twice but FFS lets not make it an annual thing.

    How about some annual imagination ?
